Stats: Virat Kohli becomes the fastest to score 18000 international runs
England are on top of India at the end of day two of the fifth Test at the Kia Oval in London as they are leading India by 158 runs as India end the day at 174/6.
England, resuming the day at 198/7, lost the wicket of Adil Rashid early in the day before Jos Buttler and Stuart Broad frustrated the Indian bowlers by putting on 98 runs for the ninth wicket. Buttler reached his fifty while Broad hung around with the Lancashire batsman and gave him some company by scoring 38 before he was dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja.
Buttler hit a few lusty blows and helped his team reach 332 before he was dismissed by the spinner, who finished the innings with figures of 4/79. Indian batting got off in a disastrous manner as they lost the wicket of Shikhar Dhawan in the second over of the innings.
KL Rahul and Cheteshwar Pujara looked good for a brief period as they weathered the storm before Tea. After the interval, Rahul was castled by a beauty from Sam Curran for 37, his highest score in the series so far.
Pujara and Ajinkya Rahane departed soon after before Kohli and Hanuma Vihari tried to pull things back by putting on 51 runs for the fifth wicket. With just one run needed for his fifty, Virat Kohli threw his wicket away as he edged one outside the off-stump and was dismissed by Ben Stokes for 49. Stokes removed Rishabh Pant for 5 in his next over and left India reeling at 160/6.
