Rain Threat Looms Over Day 5

While the fifth day promises to be one of the best days of Test cricket in recent times but a major rain threat is looming over the fixture. Post 11:00 AM local time (3:30 PM IST), there are more than 80% chances of rain. Throughout the day, there is more than a 60% chance of rain as per the MET OFFICE, which is the UK's government official weather service.
If the rain stays away, India will be relieved to hear of the lower temperatures in the city tomorrow, wit a maximum of 21 and a minimum of 15 degree celcius. The conditions are expected to be overcast for most of the day too.

Talking about the match, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant scored centuries for India on Day 4 as they took the attack to the hosts despite losing the wicket of skipper Shubman Gill early in the day. While Rahul hit his third ton in England, which is the most by an Asian opener, Pant scored a century in both innings of the match, which marks the first instance of a wicket-keeper batting scoring twin centuries in a match away from home in Test cricket history.
