🧾 Key Highlights
India secured a heart-stopping six-run victory over England in the fifth and final Test at The Oval, leveling the Anderson‑Tendulkar Trophy at 2–2. Chasing 374 to win, England looked destined for victory after centuries from Harry Brook (111) and Joe Root (105) and a commanding 301/3. However, India’s bowling attack—including a match-winning five-wicket spell from Mohammed Siraj and four wickets from Prasidh Krishna—triggered a collapse. England’s heroics ended dramatically as Chris Woakes fought bravely with a dislocated shoulder but eventually ran out of partners. It ranks among India’s narrowest Test wins and most dramatic finishes.
