Reuters Ravindra Jadeja added another feather to his cap on Day 3 of the ongoing fifth Test at The Oval between India and England as he broke a long-standing record held by West Indies legend Sir Garfield Sobers. While Sobers is widely regarded as one of the greatest all-rounders in cricket history, Jadeja is known as the best in modern times. Jadeja breaks Sobers' record Jadeja, who has been solid for India with the bat in this Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series, scored his sixth 50-plus score while batting in India's final innings of this five-match contest. He made 53 off 77 balls, including five boundaries, to help India post a big target of 374 runs. With this, he now holds the record for most 50-plus scores in a Test series in England by a batter batting at No.6 or lower, going past Sobers' tally of five in 1966. He also became only the second visiting player after Sobers to score over 1,000 runs and take 30-plus wickets in Tests played in England. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Also Read: Jadeja crosses 500-run mark in the series Jadeja's total runs in the series now stand at 516 at an average of 86, joining Shubman Gill (754) and KL Rahul (532) as the only Indian batters to go past the 500-run mark in this series. He has been one of the most consistent performers for India throughout the tour, with one century and five fifties. Jadeja has scored more runs than even top-class batters like Rishabh Pant and Yashasvi Jaiswal in this series. He is currently the third-highest scorer on the list after Gill and Rahul.

India's second innings total of 396 gave them a strong position in the match. England, who lead the series 2-1, will need to chase a record target if they want to win the series outright. India, on the other hand, need eight more wickets to avoid yet another Test series defeat.

Dinesh Karthik caught live mid-show trying to hold back celebration as Siraj's last-ball yorker crashes Crawley's stumps
Just when Day 3 seemed destined to fade out without drama, Mohammed Siraj pulled out a brilliant double bluff. In the final over, he dismantled Zak Crawley with a masterstroke; having lured Crawley into expecting the short ball, setting the field for chin music, Siraj ripped in a booming yorker that ducked under the bat and uprooted the off stump. Just three deliveries before, Crawley had stopped Siraj in his run-up over sight-screen issues, reminding everyone of his time-wasting tactics at Lord's, which triggered an uproar. Justifiably, the celebrations after the dismissal were wild. Dinesh Karthik watches as Siraj picks Crawley's wicket(Reuters/YouTube) It had been a gruelling day in the field for India, and Indian players roared in celebration, releasing the pressure of a hard-fought day. But away from the field, inside a broadcast studio, Dinesh Karthik had to channel every ounce of restraint as the moment unfolded live on air. Karthik, seated beside Mel Jones for Sky Sports Cricket's post-day show, which usually begins taping minutes before stumps, was mid-sentence when the drama erupted. As Jones took over commentary duties, calling the wicket in real-time, Karthik clutched the armrests, spinning slightly in his chair, visibly thrilled but composed. He held back the outburst many fans watching would've let fly, offering instead a poised, measured reaction. 'This is purely nerves, what Zak Crawley went through. As a batter, when you have batted so hard and all you want to do is get past the last over and walk into the dressing room being not out, you tend to go into a shell and you're not committed into a shot. It's a mistake a lot of batters have made in the past,' said Karthik. Watch: Earlier, Yashasvi Jaiswal made a sparkling hundred and Washington Sundar a blistering fifty before Siraj struck with the last ball of Saturday's play to bolster India's hopes of a series-levelling win at the Oval. India were dismissed for 396 in their second innings on the third day as they set England a target of 374 to win with just over two days' remaining.

Indian sports wrap, August 3: Shoan Ganguly finishes 28th in 400m Individual Medley at World Swimming Championships
SWIMMING India's campaign at World Swimming Championships ends India's forgettable campaign at the Swimming World Championships came to an end with Shoan Ganguly's 28th place finish in the men's 400m individual medley in Singapore on Sunday. The 20-year-old, who entered the meet on the back of a record-breaking swimming nationals, clocked 4:30.40s as he failed to make the eight-man final. The effort was far inferior to his 'Best Indian Time' of 4:24.64s he set on the way to winning a gold at the nationals in June. Indian swimmers endured an underwhelming run at the world meet with none of them making it past their heats or even improving their personal best timings. - PTI
