England reached 339 for six in the fourth innings at stumps on Day 4 of the fifth Test against India on Sunday (August 3) at London’s Kennington Oval. They need 35 runs to win on the last day with four wickets in hand.
Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope opened the scoring for England on Sunday (3 August) with an overnight score of 50/1. Visiting bowlers managed to dismiss them in the first session, giving their team hope for the match. Joe Root (105) and Harry Brook (111) then scored stunning centuries, forming a 195-run partnership for the fourth wicket to put England in control of the 374-run chase.
The visitors eventually staged a comeback, reducing the hosts to 339/6, but the game was called off due to poor weather. The match officials called stumps after a while because the weather would not allow the game to continue.
Fans were enthralled by the excitement that unfolded on the penultimate day of the decisive Test. They responded by sharing hilarious memes on social media channels. Below are some of the best memes:
“Bade aasani se nhi haarenge. Abhi thoda hope dekar haarenge jisse tum logo ko aur dard ho (We will not lose easily. We will give some hope and lose so that you people feel more pain),” a fan wrote.

Sunil Gavaskar, the legendary cricketer, reportedly stated that the Shubman Gill-led side failed to capitalize and complete the games despite performing effectively for the majority of the sessions in the series. During his commentary on the fourth day of the fifth Test, Gavaskar stated (via TOI):
“At the end of the day, it’s the result that matters. Unless India win this game and level the series, you have to admit that England are the better team. It doesn’t matter how many sessions you’ve won. Yes, 2-2 would be a fair result given India have won more sessions overall.”
