India negotiated an awkward first morning of the final test against England at the Oval relatively smoothly on Thursday, reaching 72-2 at lunch as the hosts, leading the series 2-1, failed to take full advantage of overcast conditions ideal for their all-seam attack.

Live coverage of this summer Test series is exclusive to Sky Sports in the UK, with all games shown live on its Sky Sports cricket channel. If you already have Sky Sports as part of your TV package, you can stream the tournament via its Sky Go app, but cord-cutters will want to set up a Now account and a Now Sports membership to stream the action.

Stand-in England captain Ollie Pope won the toss and put India into bat in the fifth and final cricket test at The Oval on Thursday. Pope is leading the England team in the absence of Ben Stokes, who is absent with a sore shoulder and has been replaced in the side by Jacob Bethell.
