5th Test: Bad Light Forces Stumps After Jaiswal’s Unbeaten 51 Takes India’s Lead To 52 Runs
Tendulkar Trophy: On a day when 15 wickets fell, Yashasvi Jaiswal’s undefeated 51 ensured India reached 75/2 in 18 overs and took a lead of 52 runs against England as stumps were called earlier than anticipated due to bad light on Day Two of the fifth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at The Oval on Friday.
In the morning, England ended India’s first innings at 224, before being bowled out for 247 and taking a 23-run lead. When England put on an entertaining 92-run opening stand off only 12.4 overs and reached 109/1 at lunch, it felt that they would run all the way to take a huge lead.
But from the post-lunch session onwards, Mohammed Siraj got crucial scalps through his nip-backers and yorkers to pick 4-86 and be the current leading wicket-taker of the ongoing series. Prasidh Krishna troubled batters with up-and-down bounce as well as sideways movement to take 4-62.
