Marcus Trescothick slams Akash Deep's ‘strange' send-off to Ben Duckett: ‘No need to walk him off like that'
The fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 between England and India at the Oval in London is turning out to be a battle of attrition with players of both sides fighting it out both on and off the field. With multiple instances of verbal altercations between Indian players and their English counterparts, the Test is set for a thrilling finish. The major talking point of Day 2 play was Indian pacer Akash Deep. The right-arm fast bowler punched the air after getting England opener Ben Duckett caught behind before putting his arm around the batter's shoulder and walking a few steps with him, giving a send-off. It was Duckett's comments, 'you can't get me out', to Akash Deep which prompted this send-off from the Indian bowler. England assistant coach Marcus Trescothick has criticised Akash Deep for his actions and said, 'There is no need to walk him off in that fashion. Your job is done at that point. I don't think I've ever seen a bowler do that after getting someone out. It was strange really,' said Trescothick as quoted by Sky Sports. Trescothick made some animated gestures in the dressing room, and explaining that, he said, 'We were chatting on the balcony. Many in my time would have just dropped the elbow on him or something quite different. I was just laughing and joking about it.' Duckett was at the centre of another incident where he was involved in enraging Sai Sudharsan following his dismissal in India's second innings. The other incident was between Joe Root and Prasidh Krishna, where the duo exchanged words during England's first innings. Speaking on Root animated chat, Trescothick said: 'I think they made a comment didn't they? He (Krishna) tried to get after him and spark him up a little bit. Joe's normally the kind of guy who laughs and giggles and allows things to happen, but today he chose a different route. Today Joe bit back.'

Prasidh Krishna On What Made Joe Root Angry: 'I Just Said, You Are Looking...'
Last Updated: Prasidh Krishna has revealed what he told Joe Root that led to their fiery on-field spat. Indian fast-bowler Prasidh Krishna has revealed he told England's Joe Root that he was 'looking in great shape' during the fifth Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, which led to 'a lot of abuse' and an ugly on-field spat between the two. Prasidh was slammed on social media for riling up someone with as clean an image as Root, but according to the Karnataka man, even he didn't expect 'such a big reaction'. The incident happened soon after Root came to the crease in the second innings of the Test. His face turned red after the conversation, and he hit a few boundaries against Prasidh, who responded with a couple of bouncers in anger. Umpire Kumar Dharmasena didn't take long to involve himself in it, following Prasidh like a hawk from thereon. He was heard having chats with KL Rahul and captain Shubman Gill, who didn't seem pleased with being asked to control the verbal attacks. 'I don't know why Rooty [reacted]," Prasidh told the BBC's Test Match Special. 'I just said, 'You're looking in great shape,' and then it turned into a lot of abuse and all of that. Later, at the press conference, Prasidh was asked if the plan was to distract the Englishman. 'That was the plan, but I didn't expect the couple of words I said to get such a big reaction from him," Prasidh said. Prasidh also conceded that Root was a legend of the game. 'That's just who I am when I'm bowling, when I'm enjoying. If it means that I have a bit of a chatter with the batter… and it does help me when I can get under the nerves of the batsman and get a reaction from them. But I love the guy that he is. He is a legend of the game and I think it is great when two people are out there wanting to do the best and be a winner at a given moment," he added. Eventually, Root got out LBW to Mohammed Siraj. England folded for 247, only 23 runs ahead of the visitors, and the third essay yielded 75/2 led by Yashasvi Jaiswal's fifty before Stumps.

Watch: Drama! England skipper Ollie Pope refuses umpire's spin option, forces early stumps on Day 2 of final Test
England stand-in skipper refused the umpires' offer to continue play with spin, resulting in stumps being called earlier than expected in a rare and intriguing moment late on Day 2 of the fifth Test at The Oval. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As the light deteriorated, on-field umpire offered Pope the option to bowl spin to keep the game going, as is customary in fading conditions. But Pope's emphatic 'No!' brought the curtains down on a gripping day of Test . Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. Watch: With 15 wickets falling across three sessions, Friday's play was already one of the most action-packed days of the series. India had been bowled out for 224 in the morning, adding just 20 runs for their final four wickets. England then launched a Bazball blitz, as openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett smashed 92 runs in just 77 balls, making the pitch look docile until Akash Deep broke through minutes before lunch. After England were bowled out for 247, taking a slim 23-run lead, India responded with calculated aggression. Yashasvi Jaiswal led the fightback with an unbeaten 51, showing class and intent in tough conditions. But after India reached 75/2 in just 18 overs, bad light threatened to halt play. Poll Who do you think had the momentum going into Day 3? England India It's too close to call In that moment, Dharmasena asked Pope if he would bowl spin to continue the game. Pope's refusal, despite having options like Joe Root or Tom Hartley, surprised many, especially as England trailed slightly in momentum. His decision drew mixed reactions, with some calling it tactical, others questioning England's approach in the final overs. As the players walked off, nightwatchman Akash Deep stood unbeaten with Jaiswal, and India led by 52. With three days remaining and momentum swinging, Pope's call may yet become a turning point in this high-stakes series decider.
