The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy has given fans everything – centuries, collapses, match-saving knocks, emotional comebacks, and nail-biting finishes. With the series on the line, England head into the final day at 339/6, needing just 35 more runs for a 3-1 victory. India, on the other hand, require four wickets to level the series 2-2 and sign off on a high.
Siraj’s Redemption or England’s Glory?
Mohammed Siraj has been India’s iron man. He’s bowled the most overs this series – over 181 – and claimed the most wickets (20). Despite a few tough moments, like the missed boundary rope call that changed the course of the 4th Test, he’s remained relentless. Will Day 25 be his moment of redemption?
England’s Lower-Order: A Tough Nut to Crack
With Jamie Smith and Jamie Overton still at the crease, and players like Atkinson, Woakes (injured but available), and Tongue to follow, England are far from finished. Their lower-order has proved resilient, and even 35 runs might look small on paper, but it’s all about nerves on the final day.
Weather, Pressure & History
Rain might stay away, but pressure will pour. The Oval crowd, global viewers, and cricket romantics await a finale that could go down in history. Whether it’s a 2-2 draw, a 3-1 triumph, or even a rare tie, the final hour of this epic series could restore faith in Test cricket like never before.
