IND vs ENG, 5th Test: Yashasvi Jaiswal Smashes Sixth Test Century, Fourth Against England
London, August 2: Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored a brilliant century on Day 2 of the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 at The Oval. This is Jaiswal’s sixth Test hundred and his fourth against England, further strengthening India’s position in the match.
Batting in the second innings in front of his family, Jaiswal reached the milestone off 127 balls, hitting 11 fours and 2 sixes. Earlier in the series, he scored 101 runs in the Leeds Test and registered fifties at Edgbaston (87) and Manchester (58). However, he has also suffered two ducks in the series.
Record in England
With this century, Jaiswal has now scored four of his six Test centuries against England. The other two came against Australia and the West Indies. In the ongoing series, he also surpassed Sachin Tendulkar and Virat Kohli to become the fastest Indian to reach 2,000 Test runs in England, achieving the feat in his 40th innings—joint-fastest alongside Rahul Dravid and Virender Sehwag.
Gill Falls Early
After lunch, India lost captain Shubman Gill for 11 runs, marking the team’s fourth wicket.
