The fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 began with rain interruptions on the opening day (Thursday, July 31) at The Oval in London. Following Day 1, attention now turns to Day 2, which could also be affected by rain, with pitch conditions and weather expected to play a crucial role.
Team India ended Day 1 of the final Test at The Oval on 204 for 6 after just 64 overs were bowled due to rain. England put the visitors under early pressure. Karun Nair scored only his second fifty-plus score for the national side. He and Washington Sundar added an unbroken 51-run partnership by stumps.
Day 2 Weather Forecast for India vs England 5th Test at The Oval
Rain didn’t delay the start of play on Day 1 at The Oval, but it kept returning in phases throughout the day. Showers disrupted the rhythm of the match and affected the playing conditions, preventing both teams from taking control.
According to AccuWeather, there is a 65 percent chance of light rain, particularly around 4 PM local time. Temperatures are expected to range between 13°C and 21°C, with humid conditions adding another factor for players to deal with.
The UK Met Office also predicts a chance of rainfall between 1 PM and 3 PM, which coincides with the crucial middle session of the day.
Overall, Day 2 is likely to be a stop-start affair, much like the first, with weather conditions playing a potentially decisive role in how the match unfolds. Both teams will need to stay adaptable to make the most of whatever windows of play they get.

India Eye Strong Start on Day 2 to Cross 250 On Green Pitch
England, led by stand-in captain Ollie Pope in the absence of Ben Stokes, chose to bowl first after winning the toss. India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul cheaply, collapsing to 33 for 2. Shubman Gill was run out for 21 following a miscommunication with Sai Sudharsan, adding further pressure on the visitors.
However, Karun Nair, making a return to the side, steadied the innings with an unbroken 51-run partnership alongside Washington Sundar. India recovered to 204 for 6 by stumps. Nair remained unbeaten on 52, his first Test fifty since 2016, while Sundar was not out on 19.
India will look to build on this platform and push past the 250-run mark on Day 2. With the pitch likely to settle as the day progresses, the morning session will be crucial in shaping the course of the match.
