This was touted as potentially the best batting day of the final Test, largely because it was expected to be warm and sunny. The sun did beat down at the start of Saturday’s action before often disappearing behind the clouds, but that didn’t prevent the bat from calling the shots.
India had numerous heroes on the middle day at the Oval, the most luminous being Yashasvi Jaiswal, the left-handed opener who extended his love for the English bowling with a fourth hundred against his favourite opponents. Akash Deep also frustrated the hosts in his avatar as night watchman, breezing to a wonderful 66 when the need of the hour for Ollie Pope’s men was early wickets.
