As play resumed on Day 4,
's figures stood at 1 for 109 from 31 overs, with England still batting and looking to extend their 186-run lead. His previous most expensive innings came against Australia in the 2024–25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy, where he conceded 99 runs in 28.4 overs while taking four wickets.

This is also only the second time Bumrah has bowled more than 30 overs in a single Test innings. The last time was in 2021, when he bowled 36 overs against England in Chennai.
What's adding to the concern is the visible drop in Bumrah's pace. At Old Trafford, just one of his 173 deliveries has crossed the 140 kmph mark — a sharp decline from earlier Tests in the series.
On Day 3, Bumrah had briefly left the field after bowling just one over with the second new ball, reportedly due to a minor ankle injury. He returned later in the day and picked up the wicket of Jamie Smith, but looked far from his usual rhythm.
Despite taking 14 wickets in the series so far, Bumrah's recent dip in speed and sharpness has raised fresh questions about his fitness. With England in command and the match slipping away, India will be hoping their pace spearhead can still make a difference.

Here's a look at 10 Asian batters who have scored the most runs in a Test series: 1/10 Virat Kohli scored 692 runs for India in the 2014-15 edition of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy played in Australia.

‘3 Test series defeats in a row would be a problem for him': Gambhir warned as India face another series loss
India face a must-win clash in the final Test against England at The Oval, trailing 2-1 in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. After back-to-back series losses, pressure has mounted on head coach Gautam Gambhir as questions grow over India's decline in Test cricket. read more Gautam Gambhir has lost 7 out of 11 Test matches he has coached so far. Image: PTI India have shown plenty of fight in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, but the results haven't reflected their efforts. Under Shubman Gill's captaincy, the team found itself in strong positions in nearly every match, only to let the advantage slip away. They are now 2-1 down in the series and are looking to win the fifth Test to save face. If India lose the final Test at The Oval, it will mark their third straight Test series defeat, something that is likely to raise questions about Gautam Gambhir's role as head coach. Gambhir took over as India's head coach after Rahul Dravid stepped down following the T20 World Cup win in June last year. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Earlier this year, India suffered a 3-1 loss in Australia during the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which knocked them out of the World Test Championship (WTC) final race. Before that, they were stunned at home by New Zealand, who beat them 3-0 in a clean sweep. Both results shocked fans, especially the one at home, as India are known to dominate on their own turf and never lost a Test series to the Kiwis. Gautam Gambhir warned about future if India lose series Now, with England leading the current series, pressure is mounting again. Former England captain Mike Atherton has weighed in on the situation and said Gambhir could be in serious trouble if India lose at The Oval. 'Well, they've lost two series in a row. They lost at home to New Zealand 3-0, and they lost the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 3-1. If they lose this series, then yeah, he's under pressure as a coach,' Atherton said on Sky Sports. 'India, with all their resources, their population strength, they're not a team that people are patient with. They're expected to win every time they walk onto the park. So three Test series defeats in a row would be a problem for him,' he added. Meanwhile, Gambhir was involved in a heated exchange with The Oval's chief curator Lee Fortis ahead of the fifth Test. The incident caught everyone's attention as it is very rare that a coach gets into a fight with ground staff. The Indian team management blamed Fortis, saying that he misbehaved with members of coaching staff. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD

WATCH: Shubman Gill run out after costly mistake in 5th Test vs England at Oval
Shubman Gill run out at the Oval. (PIC - X) New Delhi: Team India's captain Shubman Gill got out during day 1 of the fifth Test against England with a huge mistake on Thursday. Talking about the blunder, it happened during the 28th over of Team India's innings as Shubman Gill defended a full-ish delivery from Gus Atkinson. How did the blunder happen? The blunder happened when Shubman Gill played a normal defensive shot and then suddenly decided to go for a quick single. The call caught Sai Sudharsan off-guard on the non-striker's end and even the left-hander declined the call. But Shubman Gill was already halfway down the pitch as Atkinson recahed the ball. The England bowler had so much time to take aim at the stumps and when the ball hit the stumps, Shubman Gill was nowhere near his crease and India were handed a big blow. Where to watch the video? Quick call gone wrong. A moment of madness, and Captain Gill's back in the pavilion #SonySportsNetwork #ENGvIND #NayaIndia #DhaakadIndia #TeamIndia #ExtraaaInnings — Sony Sports Network (@SonySportsNetwk) July 31, 2025 Indian Cricket Team's legendary player Sunil Gavaskar was surprised by Shubman Gill's wicket and called it 'suicidal'. Gavaskar also said that it was a massive blow for India. What did Sunil Gavaskar say? 'It was suicidal. I do not know what happened. What was his mind space when he looked for that single. There was honestly no run in it. So this is a huge blow and you can already see it. He was hoping against hope that the bowler would miss the stumps,' Gavaskar said during his analysis.
