Here's a look at the complete conversation between KL Rahul and Kumar Dharmasena -
Rahul: What do you want us to do? Be quiet?
Dharmasena: You will like any bowler to come and walk to you? No, you can't do that. No, Rahul, we should not go on that way.
Rahul: What do you want us to do? Just bat and bowl and go home?
Dharmasena: We will discuss at the end of the match. You can't talk like that.
Coming to the match, Yashasvi Jaiswal's unbeaten 51 took India to 75/2 at stumps on the second day of the fifth Test against England, with a lead of 52 runs on Friday.
India lost opener KL Rahul (7) and Sai Sudharsan (11) but conveniently erased a 23-run first innings deficit, largely due to Jaiswal's positive approach with the bat.
Rahul was removed by Josh Tongue while Gus Atkinson accounted for Sudharsan. Jaiswal was accompanied by night watchman Akash Deep (4 not out) when the stumps were drawn.
Earlier, England replied with 247 against India's 224 in the first essay, taking a slender lead.
Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj led a brilliant fightback for India by picking four wickets apiece as the visitors kept England's lead down to 23 runs.

The match was heading towards a dramatic conclusion as India had stormed its way back with two quick wickets of Jacob Bethell and Joe Root in the final session, whereas England needed 35 more runs to seal the series.

Broad Blasts Early Stumps Decision Former England pacer Stuart Broad slammed the call and tagged it as 'lazy decision'. According to Broad, given that the conclusion of the game was at a touching distance, the day could have been extended, and play could have resumed in another 20 minutes. Brook further stated that the spectators deserved a climax of the Test on Day 4 itself. 'Still 20 mins away from possible start time, everyone has their sunglasses on at the train station.

Still 20 mins away from possible start time, everyone has their sunglasses on at the train station. Felt the supporters deserved to see a finish to that Test Match today. Felt a lazy decision to call it off at 6pm in my opinion. I wonder who makes it? — Stuart Broad (@StuartBroad8) August 3, 2025 Oval Test set up for a thrilling finish on Day 5 While the rain drama has dragged the Test match, considering the fact that the previous four Tests of the series also went down to the wire on Day 5, it was written in the stars that the fifth and final Test will also conclude on Day 5. India will have a reason to complain as the momentum had shifted rapidly in their favour in the final phase of Day 4. However, in order to save the series, the Indian bowlers will have to return with the same hunger and increased zeal to take the remaining three wickets. As for England, they will start the day needing another 35 runs. With three wickets in hand and only that many runs remaining, the action is certainly not going beyond the morning session, unless the weather spoils sport again. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD
