Krishna's four-wicket haul, which caused England's batting to collapse from 142/2 to 215/7, bowling in tandem with Mohammed Siraj, was one of the highlights of an action-packed day two of the fifth Test at The Oval. The lanky pacer started the series on a poor note, taking just six wickets in four innings and conceding 331 runs during the first two Tests, which led to him missing the Lord's and Manchester Tests. During these two Tests, he attempted short-pitched deliveries as requested by the team, but the tactic misfired.

After India was skittled out for 224 at the start of the day, England imposed their dominance on Team India with a 92-run opening stand between openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley. However, after Crawley's dismissal at a score of 129, Prasidh and Mohammed Siraj triggered a batting collapse, with England down seven wickets at 215 runs. One of the most notable moments was Krishna giving Root a stare, which caused the English batter, known for his calm personality, to get more animated than usual. Both exchanged some words, too.

During the first session, Duckett tried getting under Akash Deep's skin, saying, 'You cannot get me out in here'. In response, although Akash did not say anything, Duckett hit him with a reversed ramp shot to the delight of the English crowd.

'Hosting the World Athletics Continental Tour Bronze in Odisha for the first time is a matter of immense pride. We are fully prepared to organise it successfully,' the minister said during the review, according to an official press release.
