Watch: Mohammed Siraj snubs Akash Deep's high-five, then blasts him with Abhimanyu Easwaran in Oval Test

Drama exploded on Day 3 of the ongoing fifth and final Test between India and England, as Mohammed Siraj ignored a high-five from teammate Akash Deep at The Oval. Later, Mohammed Siraj and Abhimanyu Easwaran were seen having a heated moment with Akash Deep.

The intense moment unfolded right after Ollie Pope’s wicket on Day 3 at The Oval. Mohammed Siraj sent England’s stand-in captain packing with a dream delivery that came back in sharply like a rocket. The Indian fast bowler ran in from wide of the crease and unleashed a vicious nip-backer that cut in like a missile.

The ball pitched on a good length, drew Pope into playing outside the line, and then jagged back in sharply off the seam. It beat the bat, crashed into the knee-roll, and left Pope stunned. The English batter knew he was gone, but he went for a delayed review.

Hawkeye confirmed that it was crashing into the middle and leg stump. Pope burned a review, as Siraj had trapped him LBW for 27 runs off 34 balls. As the replay showed three reds, Siraj was seen arrogantly ignoring a high-five from Akash Deep as he continued to exchange some words.

Abhimanyu Easwaran was also seen murmuring something, as Akash looked clueless over the discussion. Now, the clip of the intense moment between the Indian players is going viral on social media.

Harry Brook’s blitz blows India off track after Mohammed Siraj’s costly blunder

Meanwhile, India's grip on the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy began to loosen in a dramatic post-lunch session on Day 4 at The Oval. After sending back Ben Duckett for 54 and Ollie Pope for 27, it looked like India was on course to wrap things up.

But Harry Brook walked in and flipped the script with a fearless counterattack. Brook’s onslaught began in unexpected fashion, as a misfield at the boundary by Mohammed Siraj handed him a lifeline. Siraj’s bouncer at the boundary ignited something in the England batter.

Brook went on to smoke 11 runs off one over from Akash Deep and then tore into Prasidh Krishna for 16 runs in the next. From 8 off 16, England’s white-ball raced to 38 off 30 balls, stitching up a quickfire 50-run stand with Joe Root and shattering India’s hopes.

Akash Deep, under pressure, looked completely rattled. Instead of sticking to his strength, the seamer bowled too full to Root and lost his line entirely against Brook. Even the usually calm Shubman Gill was visibly seen frustrated.

He was seen moving fielders around and trying to calm the storm. The Indian skipper’s voice was even picked up on the stump mic, urging Akash, “Daal na jaise daalta hai (Just bowl the way you usually do),” which shows a clear sign of nerves in the Indian camp.

Now, England needs only 168 runs to win the fifth and final Test with seven wickets in hand, while India now really needs wickets to turn the game in their favor to level the five-match Test series.
