England pushed India on the back foot after a rain-hit first day of the final Test against India at The Oval on Thursday. The Final test is a must-win game for India to level the series. India where 204-6 with all the big players dismissed early. England had to work hard to get those crucial wickets as they removed KL Rahul Shubman Gill and Ravindra Jadeja the batters who had been tough to dismiss earlier in the series. Gill gifted his wicket to England on the opening day of the Final Test. Talking about the opening day play Gus Atkinson dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal lbw for two as stand-in captain Ollie Pope finally got the DRS call correct following 14 unsuccessful reviews last year. KL Rahul who has scored 500 runs in the first four matches looked solid on the crease till Chris Woakes dismissed him for 14 with India reaching lunch on 72-2. Gills run out proves to be a turning point in the Oval Test Gill who was averaging over 90 with four centuries to his name was run-out by four yards as bowler Atkinson had enough time to transfer the ball to his right hand before throwing down the stumps. He made several records by just adding 21 runs as he surpassed Garfield Sobers as the highest scoring visiting captain in England. He also moved into the top nine for the most runs scored in a series in England either by or against the hosts. Following a rain-delayed restart Josh Tongue who had a shaky start with a nine-ball over that conceded 12 runs eventually found his rhythm and grabbed Sai Sudharsans wicket. Just one ball after successfully overturning an lbw decision Dhruv Jurel was cramped for room by Atkinson and edged one to second slip where Harry Brook took a sharp catch to dismiss him for 19. Karun Nairs calm and composed knock Karun Nair played a calm and composed unbeaten knock of 52 while Washington Sundar remained on 19 at stumps. The impressive Atkinson ended the day with figures of 2 for 31 from 19 overs. Woakes had a rough end to the day picking up a potentially serious shoulder injury after a heavy fall while diving to stop a boundary in the final overs.
