Ind vs Eng Live Score, 5th Test match DAY 5: RAIN Menage is looming while Angleterre Chase 35 Runs and India Hunt 4 Wickets

The afternoon belonged entirely to Joe Root and Harry Brook, whose 195-point stock-out partnership seemed to have distant the game of India. Brook, striking with Flair and Aggression, hammered a 98-ball 111, while Root’s composed 105 was its third century in the series and the 13th against India. In tea, England was sailing at 317 for four, requiring only 57 points.
But after the TEA, the Pacers of India returned to roar. Prasidh Krishna struck twice – first derassing Jacob Bethell, then removing the root captured behind – while Siraj’s efforts assured that the Brook window before the interval was not in vain. The old ball suddenly came to life, with a movement of transport and sewing disturbing English strikers. The dashboard almost wedged, with only 22 points added during the last session before stopping the game.
Earlier in the day, Siraj had set the tone with an ardent morning spell that helped reduce England to 164 for three by lunch. He trapped Ollie Pope LBW and tested Duckett with pace and movement. Prasidh Krishna also impressed, withdrawing Duckett early and pushing Brook with smart changes in rhythm and line.
India’s energy has plunged into the middle session, while Brook’s offensive game and Root’s grace punished something loose. Brook received a life when Siraj walked on the boundary strings after taking a fine leg socket, a moment that seemed to temporarily break the spirit of India.
However, the last session overturned the story. With the spicy pitch again and the covered sky that is looming, the quisors of India have found their rhythm. England will resume by needing 37 others, but with only four hands in hand and India watching the new ball, day 5 promises a tense finish that could define the whole series.
