New Zealand all-rounder Nathan Smith has been ruled out of the second and the final Test against Zimbabwe in Bulawayo due to an abdominal strain, which he picked on the second day of the series opener while batting and had to retire hurt.

35 runs, three (maybe, four) wickets, who look favourites? With a proper batter in Jamie Smith in and guys like Jamie Overton and Gus Atkinson still left, it would be hard to argue against England being in front, but with wickets of Harry Brook, Jacob Bethell and Joe Root in the last couple of hours, India have hung around like a bad smell in the ongoing series decider at the Oval. England would have fancied their chance to knock off those 35 runs quickly, but the London weather had other ideas, forcing an early stumps on Sunday, August 3. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/bad-weather-sends-oval-test-to-day-5-after-india-hang-in-there-following-wickets-of-centurions-harry-brook-joe-root-2025-08-03-1001858

India piled up a big score in their second innings as they made 396, led by strong knocks from Yashasvi Jaiswal, Washington Sundar, Ravindra Jadeja and Akash Deep.

Ravindra Jadeja has been sensational for India in the ongoing five-match series against England. There were doubts about the future of the all-rounder, but he rose to the occasion and silenced the critics with consistent performance in the series. The Shubman Gill-led side particularly focused on their batting, and it was Jadeja, who provided the much-needed cushion, as he hit six 50+ scores, which is the most by an Indian batter in a Test series in England. Legendary Indian batters Sunil Gavaskar and Virat Kohli had each recorded five 50-plus scores during their respective tours of England in 1979 and 2018. In the ongoing 2025 series, wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant also matched that tally before missing the fifth Test due to a foot injury. However, Jadeja managed to go one step further. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/ravindra-jadeja-breaks-sunil-gavaskar-virat-kohli-s-legendary-record-in-england-2025-08-02-1001744
