Siraj strikes for India as England's Brook rides his luck in Oval thriller
Joe Root, the world's top-ranked Test batsman, was 23 not out, with Yorkshire teammate Brook riding his luck during an unbeaten 38 featuring four fours and two sixes.
Brook struck 27 runs in the space of eight balls, having come in with England 106-3 after Siraj had stand-in England captain Ollie Pope lbw for 27.
The talented Brook charged down the pitch to loft Akash Deep for an extraordinary six over cover despite heavy cloud cover in London favouring India's quicks.
But he almost holed out to fine leg off Prasidh Krishna only for Siraj, right back on the boundary, unable to stop himself taking a pace backwards when completing the catch. By stepping onto the rope, Siraj transformed a dismissal into another six.
England resumed on 50-1 after Siraj yorked Zak Crawley with the last ball of Saturday's play.
Ben Duckett was 34 not out and Pope, leading England in place of the injured Ben Stokes, yet to face.
Left-hander Duckett was repeatedly beaten by fast bowler Siraj, who has appeared in every match of a gruelling series.
He continued to fend outside off stump and it was no surprise when he fell for 54 after edging an intended drive off Krishna to second slip, with KL Rahul holding a sharp catch to leave England 82-2.
But Pope hit three fours in one Krishna over with an on-drive followed by a clip through midwicket and a forceful pull.
Siraj, however, had Pope plumb lbw for 27 with a ball that kept a touch low and nipped back.
Siraj's 20th wicket of the series made him the leading bowler on either side.
India posted 396 in their second innings on Saturday. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal made a sparkling 118 and Washington Sundar smashed a quickfire 53 late in the day.
History is against the hosts as no side have made more to win in the fourth innings of a Test at the Oval than England's 263 in a one-wicket victory over Australia in 1902.
But England chased down 371 for a five-wicket win in the opener at Headingley.

Jobe Bellingham 'anxious' about following Jude at Dortmund
Jobe, 19, is two years younger than Jude, who joined Real Madrid in 2023 after three years at Dortmund. A centrepiece of the England national team, Jude has emerged as one of the best players in the world in recent seasons. The younger Bellingham joined Dortmund in June from Sunderland after their promotion to the Premier League. Jobe admitted he understood what the perception would be ahead of the move to Germany. "It's something you do think about. You have these anxieties, especially me as I'm only young," Bellingham told reporters at Dortmund's pre-season camp in Austria. "I'm not perfect. I do think about these things, but that was down to the club convincing me that these things wouldn't have much bearing on me. "This was a decision I made and it's for myself. My journey is not anyone else's to understand," he added. Bellingham made his Dortmund debut in the Club World Cup in the United States, scoring once and providing an assist in four games. Like he did at Sunderland, the younger Bellingham wears his first name Jobe on the back of his jersey rather than his last name to avoid comparisons with his sibling. Jobe said his older brother was "extremely proud -- he didn't have much to say other than 'embrace it'," when he found out he was off to Dortmund, but added "our conversations aren't usually that serious." The midfielder, who usually plays in a deeper role than his brother, said he did "not want to be a superstar... I don't want to be a big character away from the pitch. "When I play I just want to be one of the highest performing players and get my head down." Dortmund open their season at Essen in the first round of the German Cup on August 18.

Man Utd, Newcastle make bids for Leipzig striker Sesko: reports
The German tabloid said the Red Devils made an initial bid of 85 million euros (£73.9 million) on Tuesday for the 22-year-old centre forward. Newcastle had offered a reported 80 million euros for the striker on Saturday, upping that to 85 million with bonuses on Monday. The Slovenia striker scored 13 goals and laid on five assists in a disappointing league campaign for Leipzig last season. He has scored 16 times in 41 appearances at international level. Sesko was stood down from Saturday's home friendly against Serie A side Atalanta, won 2-1 by the visitors due to a potential transfer. Leipzig sporting director Marcel Schaefer confirmed this, saying Sesko would not play "due to the very concrete interests from several clubs." United are rebuilding after their worst top-flight campaign in 51 years, along with defeat to Tottenham in the Europa League final. United were toothless in attack and have already brought in forwards Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo in the summer window. Sesko's arrival could push under-pressure striker Rasmus Hojlund towards the exit, with reports emerging United could sell the Denmark forward for 35 million euros, less than half of what they paid to bring him from Atalanta in 2023. Newcastle qualified for the Champions League with a fifth-placed finish last season but are reportedly in danger of losing striker Alexander Isak to Premier League champions Liverpool.

Wirtz unfazed by huge Liverpool price tag
The attacking midfielder arrived at Anfield for an initial £100 million ($132 million) that could rise to £116 million with add-ons, making his move a potential British record. However, speaking after impressing in a 3-2 friendly win over Athletic Bilbao on Monday, the 22-year-old brushed off the size of his transfer fee. "I don't think about it. I just want to play football and how much money the clubs pay between each other, it doesn't matter," he said. "Of course the big challenge is to win the title again and it is the most difficult thing so (I will) try and just create chances and also work against the ball. "I can also run a lot so (I will) bring this to the team and then with the ball I can make the team better and bring my teammates into better situations." Liverpool face FA Cup winners Crystal Palace in the season-opening Community Shield on Sunday and kick off their Premier League title defence at home to Bournemouth on August 15. Germany international Wirtz said he was relishing the challenge. "There are some differences to Germany but I think there is also something I can learn and make me better so I am really looking forward to it," he said. "It's more intense and more physical, every player is really strong, really fast. That is what everybody is telling me." Big spenders Liverpool have spent more than £250 million so far in the summer transfer window on a clutch of new players including Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Milos Kerkez, Jeremie Frimpong, who also came from Leverkusen, and Giorgi Mamardashvili. The club are understood to have made a bid of around £110 million plus potential add-ons for unsettled Newcastle striker Alexander Isak last week, which was rejected. Manager Arne Slot said after two friendlies against Athletic Bilbao at Anfield on Monday that there was "always room for improvement" despite the club's march to a record-equalling 20th league title last season. "We've added a few, in my opinion, extra weapons," said the Dutchman. "So, Florian has a lot of creativity in the final third. We've lost with Trent (Alexander-Arnold, who has signed for Real Madrid) a lot of creativity from the back. "Trent's crosses and picking out runners was so special -– I think Flo has this quality as well in a totally different position." Liverpool paid tribute to late forward Diogo Jota in their first matches at Anfield since the forward and his brother Andre Silva died in a car crash in Spain last month. Slot said in his programme notes that it had been a "tough time for everyone connected with the club, but especially for Diogo's family, his wife, his children and friends". "We cannot imagine the pain that they have been going through, and the club will continue to give them all the support they can going forward," he wrote. © 2025 AFP
