[WATCH]- India End Day 3 On A High After Siraj Dismisses Crawley With A Stunner

Indian fast bowler Mohammed Siraj removed England opener Zak Crawley for 14 on Day 3 of the fifth Test at The Oval on Saturday. The breakthrough came in the final over of the day, giving India a strong finish. Siraj produced a stunning yorker that shattered the off stump, capping off the day on a high note for the visitors.

Crawley and Ben Duckett had put together a 50-run opening stand while chasing a target of 374. Just when it seemed England might head into stumps unscathed, Siraj delivered a decisive blow late in the day to break the stand. You can watch the video here:

India resumed the day at 75 for 2, with Yashasvi Jaiswal going on to register his sixth Test century. His knock of 118 turned out to be the top score of the innings. He shared a 107-run stand for the third wicket with Akash Deep, who contributed a solid 66 off 84 deliveries.

Ravindra Jadeja chipped in with yet another half-century in the series, while Washington Sundar added late momentum with a quickfire fifty off just 39 balls, which included four boundaries and a six that brought up his milestone. He was the final batter dismissed as India were bowled out for 396, setting England a target of 374 to win the match and the series 3-1.

In response, England reached 50 for 1 in 13.5 overs at stumps, with Ben Duckett unbeaten on 34. They still require 324 runs with two full days left in the Test.
