India on brink of famous win despite Root, Brook tons as rain takes game to Day 5
LONDON: Rain in the evening session pushed the series deciding final Test to day five after a down and out India managed stay in the game yet again following fine hundreds from Joe Root and Harry Brook that almost sealed the contest for England. Like it has been the case through the English summer, a spirited India found a way to fight back through their undeterred spirit after England needed just 57 runs to complete the chase at tea. Root (105) and Brook (111 off 98) were running away with the contest but Mohammed Siraj and Co refused to give up post the break. While Brook was dismissed before tea, Root was caught behind off Prasidh Krishna after the lanky Indian pacer had found the stumps of a struggling Jacob Bethell, leaving the home team at 337 for six. Root got out soon after racking up his 39th Test hundred, 13th versus India and third of the series. The old ball which was not doing a thing in the afternoon session started aiding the pacers, and the scoreboard hardly moved. Suddenly, the remaining 37 runs seemed a long way off. Jamie Overton and Jamie Smith were in the middle when bad light stopped play with the momentum in India's favour. England were 339 for six and new ball just 3.4 overs away.

Tachikawa joins Jamil's scheme of things at Durand Cup
After earning two wins in two matches in the ongoing Durand Cup, Jamshedpur FC have got a further boost in the form of Japanese midfielder Rei Tachikawa. He joined the squad at Flatlet in Jamshedpur on Sunday ahead of their last group encounter against debutants 1 Ladakh FC on Friday which will also be Khalid Jamil's first match at the helm since being declared India head coach. Tachikawa has been with the club since 2023 when he joined from Maltese side Sirens FC, where he made a name for himself. In the first season, he appeared in 22 matches across the Indian Super League and Super Cup, scoring five goals and creating 25 chances. In the last season, he once again impressed under Jamil playing a pivotal role in helping the team make the semifinals in the Indian Super League playoffs where they were edged out by eventual champions Mohun Bagan Super Giant. He also scored the lone goal against Mumbai City FC in the semifinals of Super Cup to make it to the final of the event for the first time. While Tachikawa will no doubt hope to make a promising start to the season for JFC, all eyes will be on coach Jamil. He is the first Indian to become the head coach of the national football team in 13 years and he will be more than eager to lead Jamshedpur FC to a title after missing out on two during last season. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New Container Houses Indonesia (Prices May Surprise You) Container House | Search ads Search Now Undo JFC beat Tribhuvan Army FT 3-2 in the opener and followed it up with a 1-0 victory against Indian Army Football Team with Mohammed Sanan scoring the lone goal.
