On Day 4 of the fifth and final Test match in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 at The Oval in London, Akash Deep gave India a ray of hope by dismissing the dangerous Harry Brook on the stroke of tea. However, England are favourites thanks to Brook and Joe Root’s counter-attacking tandem.
Harry Brook reached his century in just 91 balls, the third fastest by an English hitter against India in Tests, trailing only Jamie Smith (80 balls) and Ben Duckett (88 balls). However, a few overs later, he became Deep’s first victim in the fourth innings.
Harry Brook stepped out to a ball that was just short on off-stump and attempted to give himself some space.
He intended to smack the ball over the covers, but instead sliced it. His bat sailed to the leg side, and the ball blew up to the off side. Mohammed Siraj, who had dropped Brook when batting on 19, made no mistake this time, moving to his left at mid-off and making an easy catch.

Brook’s innings came to an end after he had smashed 111 off 98 deliveries, belting 14 fours and two sixes. He added 195 runs with Joe Root, taking the Indian bowlers to the cleaners with some aggressive batting, straight out of the ‘Bazball’ manual.
England on the brink at Tea
At Tea on Day 4, England romped to 317/4 in 66 overs, scoring at a run rate of 4.80. Root is unbeaten on 98 and will look to bring up his 39th Test century in the final session. The Three Lions need just 57 more runs to win the Test match and bag the series.
Root has Jacob Bethell for company, who has looked fidgety in his 11-ball stay at the crease. With Jamie Smith, Gus Atkinson, and Jamie Overton still to come, England would be confident about emerging victorious in the final session on the penultimate day of the Test match.
