Jaiswal’s Epic Century Puts India Commandeering Oval Test
Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a century in India’s match against England today at The Oval. He added 118 runs to build a huge lead by tea. India regained control with skilled batting and fortunate drops.
Jaiswal reached 118 off 164 balls, dropped three times. India’s lead rose to 281 by tea. He hit fourteen fours and two sixes. He turned his 127th ball to point then celebrated by “shaping his fingers into heart".
He shared a 107‑run stand with nightwatchman Akash Deep. Deep made a career‑best 66 in that stand. England’s coach Marcus Trescothick said, “There was lots of positive cricket”. India hope Jaiswal’s form continues tomorrow.
He now has six Test centuries and second in this series. India lead by over 300 by tea and aim to set a record chase. England must beat a 123‑year Oval record. Control lies with India at stumps.
Tomorrow’s outlook: India enter day 4 with momentum. England must chase more than 263, the highest Oval run‑chase since 1902. Jaiswal’s sustained form may seal India’s control over the crucial final Test.
