[WATCH] ENG vs IND 2025: Yashasvi Jaiswal lights up The Oval with special century celebration

On Day 3 of the fifth Test at The Oval, Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal celebrated his second century of the series.

The left-hander scored his sixth Test century after diverting a back-of-length delivery from Gus Atkinson behind square for single. As soon as he reached the milestone, Jaiswal removed his helmet and gloves, blew flying kisses to the dressing room, and made a heart motion with his hands. The entire Indian camp came up to applaud the kid batter’s outstanding performance.

Jaiswal once again demonstrated his maturity and tremendous talent, establishing himself as a leader of the new-age Indian batting lineup.

Meanwhile, he scored his fourth Test century against England. He had already scored centuries in Dominica, Perth, and Leeds. With his latest century at The Oval, he has now conquered London, capping an extraordinary five-match win streak.

Notably, 82 of his 100 runs came behind square, setting a record for the most behind-the-wicket runs on the verge of a century in Test cricket. India has now scored 12 centuries in this away series, while both teams have amassed 19 hundreds in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy so far.

India extended their second-innings lead above 200 runs with to Jaiswal’s century and a standout performance from nightwatchman Akash Deep, who hit 66 off 94 balls. The two struck a 100-run stand for the third wicket, stabilising the batting after early losses.

In the first innings, India posted 224 runs, with Karun Nair contributing with a crucial half-century. England’s Atkinson starred with the ball, claiming a five-wicket haul to put pressure on the Indian batting lineup.

In reply, England managed 247 runs, gaining a slender 23-run lead. Harry Brook and Zak Crawley both notched up half-centuries, but Indian pacers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna turned the tide with four wickets each.

With the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy currently 2-1 in England’s favor, India are determined to win the final Test to level the series. England, on the other hand, will be aiming to draw or win the match and secure the trophy on home soil.
