Bad weather sends Oval Test to Day 5 after India hang in there following wickets of centurions Brook, Root

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.
