Yashasvi Jaiswal delivered under pressure with a brilliant century on Day 3 of the IND vs ENG 5th Test, bringing India back into a dominant position. After a dry spell in recent innings, the young opener responded with a composed 105-run knock at The Oval, London, on August 2, 2025.

Jaiswal stitched a crucial 107-run partnership with nightwatchman Akash Deep, setting the tone for India’s second innings. Akash played his role well before falling for 42, but the platform was already set.

Following Jaiswal’s dismissal, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar stepped up with important contributions. Jadeja scored a fluent 61, while Washington added a resilient 48. Together, they ensured that India reached a strong total, setting England a challenging target of 374 runs.

By the end of the day, Mohammed Siraj provided India with a vital breakthrough by dismissing Zak Crawley in the final over. England ended Day 3 at 15/1, still needing 359 runs for victory with nine wickets in hand.
