Live Coverage of India vs England 5th Test, Day 4: hourly weather updates for The Oval, assessing potential rain interruptions today
The fourth day of the highly anticipated India vs England 5th Test at Kennington Oval, London, is set to be a thrilling one, with the weather forecast predicting potential rain showers in the late afternoon.
India, who are still considered favourites to win and square the series 2-2, will be hoping for early dry spells to maximise their game time. Overcast skies could help Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj to extract seam movement, providing an advantage for the Indian bowling attack.
In the third innings, India managed to score a formidable total of 396 runs, thanks in part to Akash Deep's 'nighthawk' half-century and Yashasvi Jaiswal's sixth Test hundred. Washington Sundar also contributed with a thrill-a-minute fifty. The tricky pitch and Siraj's late wicket may favour India, but England will be aiming to chase down a target of 374 runs to win.
England started their chase with a 50-run partnership between Crawley and Duckett, but their hopes took a blow when Siraj delivered a searing yorker to dismiss Zak Crawley.
