India Falter in England Test Decider as Captain Gill Falls to Run Out

England gained control on a rain-affected first day of the final Test at The Oval, with India struggling at 204-6. Needing a win to level the series, India lost key wickets cheaply, including KL Rahul, Ravindra Jadeja, and captain Shubman Gill, who was run out for 21 after a poor decision. Despite a promising 52* from Karun Nair and support from Washington Sundar (19*), India's top order collapsed. Gus Atkinson starred with 2/31, while Josh Tongue removed Sudharsan and Jadeja. Chris Woakes took a wicket but later suffered a shoulder injury. Gill's 743 runs made him the highest-scoring visiting captain in England.
