A series that has see-sawed across five Tests finally was pushed into the final day of the Oval Test. The day began with England needing 35 runs, and India four wickets (including a bandaged Chris Woakes, suffering from a dislocated shoulder).

The scoreline read 2-1 before the start of the Test, with one attempt left for Shubman Gill and team to level the series. Chasing 374 run to take the scoreline to 3-1, England were buoyed by centuries from Joe Root and Harry Brook, although India made a fine comeback in the final session on day four. There was rain in the mix as well, forcing an early end to a dramatic fourth evening, and leaving the contest open for another day.

It all boiled down to the final wicket, with Chris Woakes walking out to bat with a dislocated shoulder. However, India managed to win the game, sneaking through with a six-run win. With this, they sealed the series 2-2.

Naturally, the win was followed by plenty of reactions in the cricket community.
