India vs England Day 5 LIVE Cricket Score
Got to feel for Mohammed Siraj here. He looked much improved from the first inning and just about produced a wicket, but wasn’t supported by his fielder. And got to feel even more for Yashasvi Jaiswal as the ball has just kept following him, first in the slips and then in the deep. Unfortunately, he just couldn’t convert a single chance that should have been, as per the international standards. Had the Indians converted any one of those, the situation could have been much, much better for the tourists.
The scorecard kept moving and once settled again, both Crawley and Duckett got on the offensive and after that, even those Bumrah overs were yielding five or six runs for England. Pressure kept mounting, and just when India thought that things wouldn’t get worse, Ben Duckett was dropped on 98 by Yashasvi Jaiswal, which just summed up the day for the tourists.  
After a wicketless first session, India desperately needed someone to step up and provide that crucial breakthrough, but the wickets just remained elusive. Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley restarted cautiously and bided their time against the opening spells from Bumrah and Siraj. Boundaries didn’t come as fast in the first half hour or so, but the good thing both the English openers did was to pinch in quick singles and doubles at regular intervals by tapping the ball in the gap, which made the Indian bowlers grind harder.
Uh, oh! The drizzle has picked up in intensity and we are off! And with that, it will be TEA on Day 5. There hasn’t been a blink-and-you-miss-it moment in this rollercoaster of a Test. India lands a blow, England hits back harder, and then India returns the favor with gusto. It’s been a toe-to-toe tussle, but if you look at the scores, it is still advantage England.
