Belief. Anticipation. Jubilation. Nothing describes the first hour of Day 5 of the India vs England final Test at The Oval better than these words. Of course, if you are on India’s side, that is. Or maybe not? After all, even former England captains Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain agreed that it would have been a “travesty” had England taken the series 3-1.

India had a mixed bag to draw from here. There were two early wickets in the morning on Sunday, and a late comeback accounted for Joe Root. But the tired fast bowlers leaked runs otherwise, not to forget Siraj trod on the boundary cushion while catching Harry Brook on 19. But the best thing about belief is that it keeps reminding you that nothing is over until it’s over. India’s Mohammed Siraj celebrates with…

How often does a draw feel like a win? Better than a win, actually? Ask the Indian cricket team. Mohammed Siraj is the leading wicket-taker in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. (@BCCI X) How about twice in ten days, will be the riposte. Ten days back in Manchester, with not just a Test but the series on the line, India dug deep to pull off a great escape, batting out 143 overs in the third innings to earn an honourable stalemate and keep the series alive. They were down 1-2 coming into The Oval; they couldn’t win the series, but they had…

In an attempt to crackdown on visitors who overstay after their visa expires, the federal government said it would start a 12-month pilot program under which people who belong to countries with high over stay rates and lack in internal document security controls could be required to furnish bonds of $5,000, $10,000 or $15,000 when they…
