Harry Brook and Joe Root both hit hundreds before a late flurry of wickets and an Oval downpour left England's series finale against India on a knife edge with one day to go.The most any side have made in the fourth innings to win a Test at the Oval is England's 263 in a one-wicket victory over Australia in 1902.

India has removed England’s Ben Duckett and stand-in captain Ollie Pope to be six wickets from tying the series on day four of the fifth test at the Oval.

India’s commanding performance, marked by multiple records, has not only thrilled fans but also rewritten chapters in Test cricket history.
