Oval Weather Update Day 2: India vs England 5th Test | Rain Could Ruin Day 2!

The last Test match between India and England in their 5-game series is happening at the Kennington Oval in London in 2025. Of course, it wouldn’t be an English summer without some rain! On the first day, we only got 64 overs in because the rain stopped play early.

India lost the toss and had to bat first. They had a so-so day, ending on 204/6. Karun Nair is still at the crease with 52, and Washington Sundar is on 19 not out.

With the series hanging in the balance, everyone’s watching Day 2 closely. But, you know, London weather can be pretty unpredictable, so we’ll see what happens.

Oval Weather Update Day 2: Chances of Rain

As predicted by AccuWeather, the forecast for Oval Weather Update Day 2 is for a partly cloudy start to the morning – conditions sufficiently good for the game to begin at 11am local time likely without interruption.

• Probability of rain before lunch: Only 5%.
• Probability of rain between 2 PM – 4 PM: increases to 50%.
• Probability of rain in the evening session: low again.

The temperature will be around 22°C, good cricket weather if the rain doesn’t come. Given the wet outfield and scattered showers, Day 2 could turn into another stop/start.

Karun Nair Leads the Charge on a Green Top

On a pitch that helped the English bowlers, India’s top order struggled once again. But Karun Nair, who was feeling the pressure to perform, finally found his rhythm at the Oval.

Coming in at a tense time, Nair handled the pressure well and built his innings slowly, reaching a hard-earned fifty by the end of Day 1. His innings not only brought India back into the game but also improved his chances of securing a permanent place in the Test team.

This innings could be a turning point in the right-hander’s career, especially after doubts about his selection.

Washington Sundar is still unbeaten with 19 runs, batting with Nair. He’s been super calm and steady even though things are tough out there. He’s going to be really important if India wants to get a good score in the first innings.

Because India’s tail-enders are a bit shaky, it’s super important that Sundar keeps rotating the strike and supports Nair. This will really help India put up enough runs to win.

Nair and Sundar may have stood strong, but others faltered. Ravindra Jadeja, who was brilliant this series, couldn’t get started. Dhruv Jurel on debut, wasted a start like Jurel on debut, throwing his wicket away when he had scored only 19, as he tried unsuccessfully to up the ante.

Now those missed opportunities have added pressure to the lower order, making Nair and Sundar’s partnership on Day 2 even more valuable.

Oval Weather Update Day 2 coming up, the weather forecast is adding some extra tension to an already intense Test match. Fans are hoping the rain holds off so Karun Nair and Washington Sundar can keep up their determined fight and help India post a strong total.
