There have been some extraordinary batting performances in the ongoing five-Test series between India and England. With both sides opting to adopt extraordinarily attacking scoring rates and pocketing the big shots when needed, the series has seen a bit of everything in terms of batting. Let's take a look at the five highest run scorers ahead of the fifth and final Test. (ANI)

At fifth is India captain Rohit Sharma, who has scored 297 runs in the eight innings he has played. Rohit hasn't really hit the highs but he has found some runs in the third and fourth Tests. Rohit powered India to a score of 445 in trying conditions by scoring 131 in 196 balls. (PTI)

3/6

England opener Ben Duckett is fourth and has been pretty much the flag bearer of England's aggressive approach with the bat. Duckett has scored 314 runs at a strike rate of 93.17 in eight innings. A side effect of this style of batting has been that he has seldom been able to convert his starts, with one century and no half-centuries. (AP)

Duckett's opening partner Zak Crawley has arguably been the more consistent of the two. Crawley has 328 runs to his name thus far in eight innings with three half-centuries. (AFP)

Shubman Gill had a shaky start but has since come into his own in this series. He has scored a century and two half-centuries and earned plaudits from everywhere for the way he grinded his way to an unbeaten half-century in the second innings of the fourth Test to lead India to victory. He has scored 342 runs in eight innings. (AFP)
