Yashasvi Jaiswal made a sparkling hundred and Washington Sundar a blistering fifty before Mohammed Siraj struck with the last ball of Saturday's play to bolster India's hopes of a series-levelling win in the fifth and deciding Test against England at the Oval.

Yashasvi Jaiswal’s century and half-centuries from Akash Deep, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar helped India set a stiff 374-run target for England in the fifth Test at the Oval in London.

Brilliant play from nightwatchman Akash Deep and Yashasvi Jaiswal has extended India’s lead over England to 166 runs by lunch on day three of the fifth test at the Oval.

India ended a third day that ebbed and flowed leading England by 323 runs in the final test at The Oval on Saturday with the game and series still hanging in the balance.

India dominated Day 3 of the fifth Test, posting 396 thanks to Jaiswal's century, Akash's 66, Jadeja's record sixth 50+ score, and Sundar's quickfire 53. England ended at 50/1, needing 324 more to win.
