Ind vs Eng 5th Test Live Cricket Score Updates: Start Of Play In 2nd Session Delayed Due To Wet Outfield At Oval, Inspection At 7 PM IST
India vs England 5th test Live Cricket Score Day 1:
The start of play in the second session on the first day of the India vs England 5th Test was delayed due to the wet outfield. The first session witnessed interesting action for both the teams before heavy rain forced an early lunch at the Oval on Thursday. India reached 72/2 in their first innings after being put into bat first.
Skipper Shubman Gill (15) and Sai Sudharsan (25) are at the crease for the visitors and already have stitched a 34-run stand for the third wicket after the openers Yashasvi Jaiswal (2) and KL Rahul (14) departed cheaply. Gus Atkinson and Chris Woakes were the wicket-takers for England in the first session.
With an aim to draw the series, India made multiple changes in their lineup with Jasprit Bumrah and Rishabh Pant missing out due to injury issues along with Shardul Thakur whereas Karun Nair, Akash Deep and Prasidh Krishna made their respective returns. On the other hand, Ollie Pope is leading the England team in the absence of Ben Stokes who missed out due to shoulder injury. Jacob Bethell, Gus Atkinson, Jamie Overton and Josh Tongue came in for Stokes, Liam Dawson, Jofra Archer and Brydon Carse.

India vs England 5th Test Live Cricket Score: Lunch Taken

India vs England 5th Test Live Cricket Score: Brilling from Gill, IND: 72/3
Incredible from Gill as he continues to capitalise on his good form. He now has become the Indian captain with most runs in a Test series, surpassing Gavaskar's record. 4 runs came off that over.
India LIVE Score: 72/2 (23)

India vs England 5th Test Live Cricket Score: Rahul gone, IND: 40/2
Wicket! Big wicket for England as the in-form KL Rahul heads back to the pavilion for 14. The ball nipped back a bit and Rahul had to play it despite the ball being very close to him and there was no room to open the arms. The star batter dragged it back onto the stumps in the end. India are two down now.
India LIVE Score:40/2 (16)

India vs England 5th Test Live Cricket Score: Good from Tongue, IND: 37/1

- 04:11 PM, 31 Jul 2025

India vs England 5th Test Live Cricket Score: Yashasvi Jaiswal departs early
Yashasvi Jaiswal trapped early in the innings as Gus Atkinson strikes early in the innings. An early wicket for England here as India lost in-form Yashasvi Jaiswal for just two. Atkinson was right on the money there.
IND 10/1 in 3.1 overs

India vs England 5th Test Live Cricket Score: England opt to bowl
Shubman Gill loses the toss again as England stand-in skipper Ollie Pope elects to bowl first at the Oval.

India vs England 5th Test Live Cricket Score: Half an hour to toss, one hour to play
Not far off from the start to match now. Joining Shubman Gill in the middle today will be Ollie Pope and Gill will be hoping for a change in fortune- he has lost each of his first four tosses to start off as captain, a statistical improbability. Better luck with someone else flipping the coin today.
