5th Test: Pope's DRS sends Jaiswal packing
NEW DELHI [Maha Media]: Yashasvi Jaiswal lost his wicket to a Gus Atkinson delivery on the first ball of the 4th over. England's stand-in captain Ollie Pope took a brilliant review. It was an inswinging delivery from Gus Atkinson that hit Jaiswal on the front foot. For a moment, it seemed there was bat-pad, but replays revealed that the ball clearly hit the pad first. Ball tracking revealed that it would have hit the leg stump. Jaiswal was given out LBW and Ben Stokes, in the dressing room, ended up laughing over the final result.
KL Rahul and Sai Sudharsan eye recovery for one-down India against England in the fifth and final Test at Kennington Oval, London. England's stand-in captain Ollie Pope won the toss and opted to bowl first.
Shubman Gill surprised everyone with his playing XI selection, naming three changes from the Manchester Test. The quartet of Jasprit Bumrah, Rishabh Pant, Anshul Kamboj and Shardul Thakur missed out while Prasidh Krishna, Dhruv Jurel, Akash Deep and Karun Nair made a return to the team.
With 8mm of grass on the pitch and overcast conditions, batting first is going to be tricky at the venue.
