LONDON (AP) - Lokesh Rahul scored a defiant century to take India to 167-5 at lunch on Day 5 of the fifth test, leaving England needing five more wickets to claim victory at the Oval on Tuesday.
After becoming the first Indian opening batsman to score a half-century in the series, Rahul produced a sublime display of shot-making to bring up his first century since December 2016 and remained unbeaten on 108 from 126 balls at the interval.
India resumed on 58-3, chasing a near-impossible 463 runs to win on the final day, but Rahul and Ajinkya Rahane made a strong start, extending their fourth-wicket partnership to 118.

However, Rahane lost concentration to top edge a sweep off Moeen Ali straight to Keaton Jennings at mid-wicket for 37 from 106 balls.
Hanuma Vihari was then caught behind off Ben Stokes for a duck in the following over to move England closer to completing a 4-1 series victory, leaving Rishabh Pant (12 not out) to bat alongside Rahul in the second session.
James Anderson failed to claim the dismissal he requires to go past Glenn McGrath as the fourth highest wicket taker, and most successful fast-bowler, in test history.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
