In the build-up to the fifth and final Test at the Oval against England, India regrouped in the practice nets. The Indian team received a major boost ahead of their must-win game, as medium-pacer Ishant Sharma was deemed fit again. The hosts lead the five-match series 2-1 after four Tests, with the visitors having crashed to an innings-and-54-run defeat at Manchester within three days in the fourth game. Since then, this was the first time this touring squad took to the nets.The Delhi seamer Sharma returned to London before the rest of the squad and had a session at the Oval yesterday. He bowled for a long duration during nets. The final decision on his fitness will, in probability, be taken today.
