Nasser Hussain on India Oval Test Win vs ENG: After a narrow six-run win over England in the fifth Test at the Oval, former captain Nasser Hussain said the Shubman Gill-led side deserved to level the five-match series 2-2 due to the good cricket played in the last six weeks. Mohammed Siraj's 5-104 and Prasidh Krishna's 4-126 helped India level the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series 2-2. The duo ensured that India took the required four wickets to bowl out England for 367 while chasing a target of 374.

"It would have been a shame if England had won the series 3-1. India deserved a 2-2 draw with the kind of cricket they have played in this series. India deserved this final score, and Siraj taking the last wicket was very important," Nasser Hussain said on Sky Sports.

Former England captain Michael Atherton said

Former England captain Michael Atherton praised Siraj for leading India to a comeback on the fifth day. "Congratulations to India. They have been competitive from the start. Yesterday afternoon they looked helpless and subdued - when Brook and Root were batting so brilliantly, it was like the game was over." "But they bounced back through Mohammed Siraj, who took 5 for 104. Fantastic. What a series it has been. It has been thrilling, tense and intense at times, but both these teams have put up a great fight."

Speaking on BBC Test Match Special, former India wicketkeeper Deep Dasgupta said India's miraculous win at the Oval was one of their greatest Test wins overseas. "I am speechless. It's another comeback story. It's definitely one of India's greatest Test wins overseas."

"Mohammed Siraj - he was the one who missed a chance off Harry Brooke when India were on top. He came back and took five wickets and the last wicket. Considering the hard work he has put in throughout this series, it is only fair that he took the last wicket." "2-2 is the only fair scoreline. Right from the first match, the contest has been very close and tight and 2-2 reflects both these teams and the way they play," he said.
