With this toss loss, Gill became only the fourth Indian Test captain to lose all five tosses in a series. It also marked India’s 15th consecutive loss in international tosses across formats.

India captain Shubman Gill hit back at The Oval’s head groundsman Lee Fortis after an altercation on the field during practice ahead of their fifth Test against England.

Shubman Gill scored 21 runs in the first innings at the Oval before getting run out, unfortunately. Owing to Karun Nair's half-century after nine years in Tests, India ended the day on a high, but they need to bat for as long as possible on Day 2.
