Rain Interrupts 5th Test as India Lose Gill After Lunch
The India vs England 5th Test 2025 faced another rain interruption, just 30 minutes after lunch. In that short window, India suffered a major blow when Shubman Gill was run out due to a poor decision to take a quick single.
Gill’s Run-Out Halts India’s Progress
Gill and his partner hesitated while running between the wickets, and a sharp direct hit sent him back to the pavilion. The timing couldn’t have been worse for India. England had already applied pressure by conceding just 13 runs in six overs after lunch. Gill’s dismissal added to India’s struggles in this session.
Rain Returns, Covers Pulled In Again
Soon after the run-out, light rain turned heavier. The umpires quickly came together and called the players off the field. Floodlights switched on, and the groundstaff covered the pitch once again. Though the radar looks better, as Andrew Miller reported, a steady rain band continues to move in. Fans hoping for uninterrupted action will have to wait longer.
England Control, India Need a Reset
In this brief session, England showed better control. Their bowlers hit tighter lines, and their fielding backed them up. The run-out gave them the breakthrough they wanted without handing away easy runs. India, on the other hand, lost rhythm and momentum.
If rain relents and play resumes, the visitors must reassess quickly. Another wicket could expose the middle order under tough conditions.
