The series stays alive! Kudos to @root66 on taking his runs tally to the top! #INDvENG,” he posted on X. Taking to X:

In Team India`s second innings, three players slammed match-saving centuries. Facing 238 balls, skipper Shubman Gill smashed 103 runs, including 12 boundaries. Opening batsman KL Rahul, too, played a knock of 90 runs after facing 230 deliveries. His knock was laced with eight boundaries.
Later, Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja delivered unbeaten centuries. Having played 206 balls, Sundar accumulated 101 runs, with the help of nine boundaries and a maximum. On the other hand, Jadeja registered a score of 107 runs in 185 balls, including 13 boundaries and a maximum.
The English bowlers kept toiling, but Jadeja and Sundar`s duo made their efforts go in vain in order to keep the series alive. The series still reads 1-2, with England having an upper hand.
The Oval will host the fifth and final Test between Team India and England. The match will kick start on July 31, with the visitors hunting for their path to the tie. Although lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah has played all three Test matches, as advised by the management earlier, it will be interesting to see if the pacer lines up for the crucial one.
