India Takes Command: Edge of Victory at The Oval

India seized control of the final test match against England at The Oval, as they dismissed key players Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope. With the score at 164-3 by lunch on the fourth day, England progressed sluggishly, adding to the intense atmosphere of the match.

India maintains a 209-run advantage, needing just seven more wickets to balance the test series at 2-2. Harry Brook survived a heart-stopping moment after being caught deep, only to have it ruled a six when fielder Mohammed Siraj stepped on the boundary cushion.

At the interval, Brook was unbeaten on 38 alongside Joe Root on 23, as England aimed for the highest successful run chase seen at this ground. Indian bowlers, displaying impeccable discipline, restricted England's scoring opportunities throughout the session, as the game hangs in a delicate balance.
