August 3, 2025: The final day of the 5th Test between India and England is set for a dramatic conclusion, with the series hanging in the balance. England, chasing a historic target of 374, currently stands at 50/1. The target is a formidable one, as a successful chase would mark the highest ever fourth-inning total at this ground.
The high-stakes final day will pit India’s fiery attack, led by the in-form Mohammed Siraj, against England’s cool-headed batting line-up. All eyes will be on veteran batsman Joe Root, who is expected to be the anchor for the hosts.
A victory for India would not only be a testament to their fighting spirit but would also level the series at 2-2, making it a fitting end to a captivating contest filled with exceptional cricket. However, should England’s batters rise to the occasion and pull off this record-breaking chase, they will secure the series with an emphatic 3-1 victory. The cricketing world watches on as two teams battle for glory in a series that has delivered on every front.
