India's win was made all the more remarkable by the omission of Ravichandran Ashwin, yet to feature in this series, despite the off-spinner's haul of 413 Test wickets
It was just India's second Test match win at the Oval, coming 50 years after a four-wicket triumph at the south London ground gave them a first such success on English soil
Indian quicks including Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Mohammed Siraj and Ishant Sharma shared 10 wickets between them to bundle out England for 120 in the final session on Monday's fifth day to go 1-0 up in the five-match series
The surprise move came only two days after India, with Bumrah in the side, thrashed England in the third Test inside two days to take a 2-1 series lead.
