Kennington Oval weather forecast August 4: What are the chances of rain on Day 5 of ENG vs IND 2025 5th Test?

It may have happened in a somewhat bizarre manner, but rather fittingly, the fifth and final Test of the India-England series at The Oval will also conclude on Day 5. The previous four matches also ended on the last day of the Test, a solid proof of how closely the series has been contested.

Chasing a challenging 374 for victory, England began Day 4 at The Oval at 50-1. The hosts lost Ben Duckett for 54 and skipper Ollie Pope for 27. At 106-3, India were in control. But, as has been the case right through the Test series, the team on the back foot fought back. Harry Brook (111) and Joe Root (105) added 195 for the fourth wicket to put England on top.

Just when it seemed that England were in firm control of the chase, they lost three wickets and slipped to 339-6. Rain and bad light then forced early stumps. On Day 5 at The Oval, England need 35 runs to win, while India need four wickets. On paper, the hosts are ahead, but with the kind of series that it has been, you never know - there might still be a twist or two in store.
