'Not sure why we...': Shubman Gill breaks silence on pitch access row at Oval
Shubman Gill during press conference. (PIC - X) New Delhi: India captain Shubman Gill has finally reacted to the exchange of words between head coach Gautam Gambhir and The Oval pitch curator Lee Fortis, terming the exchange 'unnecessary' ahead of the decisive fifth Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. What was it about? On the evening of the last Test, Gambhir and India's support staff members allegedly walked onto the pitch during a nets session to inspect the surface. Curator Lee Fortis stopped them and asked them to be at least 2.5 metres away from the pitch. Gambhir did not approve of this and complained before batting coach Sitanshu Kotak stepped in to calm him down. What was Shubman Gill's reaction? Speaking at a press conference, Gill expressed his confusion over the whole episode: 'As long as you are barefoot or wearing rubber spikes, it's common to have a look at the pitch. We've been doing this throughout the tour, and nobody has ever stopped us before. I honestly don't know what all the fuss was about.' He further added that Gambhir, as the head coach, had every right to inspect the wicket and prepare the team accordingly: 'Coach wanted to see the surface; that's a normal part of planning for any Test match.' Why is it important? This small flashpoint occurred at a heightened moment in the series. England currently lead 2-1, and India are keen to square the series at The Oval. Entry onto the field a day before the match is normally routine and assists captains and coaches in deciding on their playing XI. What is happening in the Series? India will once more rely on its star performers delivering in a crisis. The visitors were boosted by the return of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, but his fitness will depend on conditions and team dynamics. Gill said the team would take a call after having a glimpse of the wicket on match day.

ENG vs IND, 5th Test: Chris Woakes sustains shoulder injury while fielding
England all-rounder Chris Woakes appeared to sustain a serious shoulder injury whilst fielding during Day 1 of the fifth Test between England and India at The Oval. He sustained the injury whilst attempting to prevent a boundary during the 57th over of the Indian batting innings. Woakes chased a Karun Nair off-drive from mid-off, and attempted a dive in order to prevent the ball from reaching the boundary. Woakes appeared in immediate discomfort, and did not attempt to get up to return the ball. He was then assisted from the field by a member of the England support staff. Woakes had already played an important part in the first day of the Test, sending down 14 overs and dismissing Indian opener K.L. Rahul. His further participation in the Test remains to be seen.

India stay invested with batting depth in must-win Test
Mumbai: In India's practice session on match eve, captain Shubman Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir sat in close proximity at The Oval outfield discussing the eleven men they would pick and trust to level the series. A win would propel the arrival of Gill, the leader, and win Gambhir the critical acclaim for his Test coaching credentials. Any other result and India's English summer of 2025 would go down as a missed opportunity. India's Sai Sudharsan plays a shot on the first day of the fifth Test cricket match between England and India at The Oval in London. (AFP) The India captain knew pace ace Jasprit Bumrah had run out of gas for a pitch that would offer the most assistance to pacers in the series. In a departure from previous three Test matches where they loaded the team with three all-rounders — Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar and Nitish Reddy/Shardul Thakur — India went back to picking an extra specialist batter (Karun Nair) over a bowler, like they did in the opening Test at Leeds. Nair was preferred over Thakur's medium pace. India also shunned the idea of picking swing bowler Arshdeep Singh to make it a four-pronged pace attack like England. 'When you pick a team, you try and pick a balanced side. You don't say, because three batters got hundreds, let's pick a batter less,' Sitanshu Kotak, India's batting coach had explained before the fifth Test. 'Another thing is because both our spinners are good batters, we are playing them, three seamers and a pace bowling all-rounder. There too, we feel, our sixth bowler is not getting enough bowling.' Picking a playing eleven to score a competitive advantage over five days and two innings has always been a complex decision, especially away from home, where hosts almost always dish out surfaces uncomplimentary to the opposition's strengths. Gill's wretched luck with the toss — he called the coin wrong for the fifth successive time on Thursday — has made it even tougher. It's evident by now that Gill and Gambhir do not like to compromise on batting depth. Which is why, despite hundreds by Washington and Jadeja at No 5 and 6 to pull off a draw at Old Trafford, India refused to take the bait and make the more aggressive call of picking the fourth specialist bowler. Gill will therefore have to employ a lot more spin than England, once his three pacers are done with their opening bursts. But there will again be no sighting of Kuldeep Yadav, who will go back home as the most talked about not-to-be-used spinner in the series. Given the movement English fast bowlers were able to extract on Day 1 on a pitch with 8 mm grass underneath, India's bowling tactics will again be tested. With only three pacers — Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj into his fifth back-to-back Test — they will have to do the heavy lifting with wicket taking and also bowl longer spells. But Gill and Gambhir would have factored in all this, along with Rishabh Pant's absence, to conclude that they needed the services of a capable batter at No 8. Backing up this selection call, India's seventh wicket partnerships have made crucial plays in the series. In the first innings of the second Test, Washington helped Gill to a brilliant 269 by stitching a 144-run stand. In the third Test at Lord's, the Washington-Jadeja partnership helped India match England's first innings 387. In the first innings of the fourth Test, Shardul came in handy as the night watchman and scored useful 48 runs with Washington. India's safety first approach has helped the inexperienced visiting team to take the series deep. But here at The Oval, the onus is on them to chase a win. Will they rue the absence of a fourth pacer given the conditions? Have they squandered an opportunity much earlier, to break open matches with a counter punch of a different variety — the left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep, a rare breed in the modern game? Gill and Gambhir would never know, because they went searching for balance. Never went for the jugular.
