Chasing a 368-run target, England openers Rory Burns and Haseeb Hameed stitched a 100-run partnership as India looked in trouble in the opening hours of final day of the ongoing fourth Test at The Oval. However, Shardul Thakur rose to the occasion again by dismissing Rory Burns in his very first over on Monday.
Bowled on a perfect line angling into the left-hander, the ball took an edge and landed straight into the gloves of wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. Earlier, Shardul Thakur hit a fifty each (57 and 60) in both the innings of the Test. The visitors are now 9 wickets away from a 2-1 lead in the 5-Test series.

The art and the artist
If giving breakthrough and taking well set batsman wicket is an art then is Picasso of it.
