England vs India: After India pacer Akash Deep's gesture towards Ben Duckett on Friday raised eyebrows, the latter did the same to the former on Saturday at the Oval during the final Test. It was heartwarming to see Duckett go upto Akash and then put his arms around the Indian nightwatchman after he got to his maiden Test fifty. It was a fifty to remember and Duckett's act was the icing on the cake for sure. The two had a brief chat as well which got fans curious. In fact, Duckett also patted Akash on the back. But just after his fifty, he perished for a well-made 66 off 94 balls. His knock was laced with 12 boundaries.

Jaiswal-Akash Put India in Box Seat

With a lead of 166 and with seven wickets in hand, India are truly on top in the Oval Test. Yashasvi Jaiswal is on 85* and is looking good to get to yet another Test century. Jaiswal has his captain Shubman Gill for company as India would now look to take the game absolutely away from the hosts in the second session on Day 3. 

At the time of filing the copy, Gill is on 11 off eight balls. This partnership is crucial from an Indian point of view.
