India's Krishna, Siraj rock England in series finale

Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj took four wickets each as India fought back in the fifth and deciding Test against England at the Oval yesterday.

- 

England were 129/1 in reply to India’s 224 all out as they threatened to build a substantial first-innings lead.

But they were eventually dismissed for 247, just 23 runs ahead, following a rain delay.

In a match India must win to end the series level at 2-2, the recalled Krishna had figures of 4/62 in 16 overs and fellow paceman Siraj 4/86 in 16.2.

Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett shared a blistering first-wicket stand of 92 in just 13 overs after England paceman Gus Atkinson marked his return to Test cricket with a five-wicket haul.
