The fifth and last Test match between India and England is being played at the famous Oval Cricket Ground in London. On the first day, the rain disrupted the game, due to which much over could not be done and many times the game had to be stopped. This situation has become a matter of concern for both teams, especially for the Indian team, who has come on the field with the intention of equalizing the series by winning this match. Now everyone’s eyes are fixed on the second day, which is going to be very important for this match. However, a bad news for Indian fans has also emerged from the Oval.
Rain threatened
On the first day, the game was disturbed due to rain, and now according to the prediction of the Meteorological Department, there is a possibility of heavy rains in the Oval on 1 August. According to the local time of England, after 2 pm, the possibility of rain is said to be 46 percent, which can deepen as the day progresses. This rain can not only affect the game, but can also affect the result of the match. The Indian team will need to change their strategy rapidly in this situation, so that they can perform better in limited time. However, due to rain, the thrill of the match may be reduced due to the interruptions in the game and the chances of winning India can also be affected.
The second day will be very important for both teams to meet the first day’s loss. If India has to end on par in the series, then it will have to dominate the field with strong batting and bowling. On the other hand, the England team will also want to maintain their lead by taking advantage of this opportunity. In the event of sports in the midst of rain, moisture on the pitch may increase, which can prove to be helpful for fast bowlers. In such a situation, Indian bowlers will have to bowl with the right line and length.
This was the first day’s game
On the first day of the Oval Test, only 64 overs were thrown due to rain. Team India managed to score 204 runs at the loss of 6 wickets. Karun Nair remained unbeaten on 52 runs and Washington Sundar 19 runs.
