Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna Spark Indian Comeback Amidst Nail-biting Test Clash

In a remarkable turn of events during the fifth and final Test, Mohammed Siraj's aggressive bowling and Prasidh Krishna's tail-end strike kept India's hopes alive against England. On Friday, the scene shifted after a challenging opening session dominated by England's Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley.

England surged to 215 for seven at tea, featuring Siraj's thrilling three-wicket spell. However, India's pacers found their rhythm post-break, limiting England's lead. Despite losing K L Rahul, India ended the day at 75 for two, with Yashasvi Jaiswal's aggressive fifty playing a crucial role.

Siraj and Prasidh's heroics, complemented by Jaiswal's consistency with the bat, underscored the day's highlight—India's refusal to back down from England's initial onslaught. The spirited performances ensured a gripping contest, with India now leading by 52 runs, poised for a fierce finish.
