The heavyweights of the cricket in England and India should compete once again during the final test of the series, which takes place from July 31 to August 4 at the London oval. With a 2-1 advance, England has a thin advantage and will be impatient to seal its first victory in the Test series on India since 2018.
Until now, the series has produced meetings with a strong score, gusts of counters and countless memorable moments and the final promises them more.
England was breastfeeding a tired bowling hold after two exhausting days on the ground to conclude the fourth test. They hope for a last push of their inspiring captain Ben Stokes before the injuries wreak havoc. Meanwhile, India will turn to their experienced players such as Jasprit Bumrah and delight Jadeja to rally and save a draw on the edge of the defeat of the series.
Current form:
England
England entered the 4th test with an advance of 2-1 in hand and seemed to be favorites to fill the victory of the series at Old Trafford. The team of Stokes had control of a large part of the match and forced India in a 2nd spectacular round to hold the draw. A magnificent display of the stick to the stick on the last day of India obtained a draw and sees the result of the series going over.
This last day was a concern for the quisors of England who worked with little success against Shubman Gill, Ravi will ravaged Jadeja and Washington Sundar who all made centuries and made the attack of England rather frank.
It was with the bat that England appeared the strongest recently and it was the same last match with Harry Brook, Jamie Smith, Ben Stokes and Joe Root all contributed throughout the series.
India
Shubman Gill India will be delighted with the recovery they have succeeded during the fourth test which included several exceptional performances. Their intermediate order in particular benefits from their time in England with counters from Jadeja and Sundar with their skillful and accumulated bowling of vital tracks with the bat.
Unusually for India, their striker has dropped them several times from the series, especially in the last test that has forced them to follow. Gill’s team has not yet found someone to claim the slit number three like theirs, without Sai Sudharsan or Karun Nair, being able to assert himself on the attack on English bowling. It will take more than the collective of strikers to bring together enough races to try to force a positive result and save a draw in the series.
Let’s take a look at squads:
There have been many injury problems for both parties in the 5th test. England Ben Stokes was affected by insignia all along, especially during bowling alley. However, the captain is filled with determination and is likely to pass and contribute as much as possible in the final test to pass his team on the line.
Meanwhile, India saw Rishabh Pant out of this match with Dhruv Jurel ready to replace him. There are also question points on the prolific producer Jasprit Bumrah, who had to participate only in three games to manage his workload. With the series so finely ready, it is likely that Bumrah will appear in his fourth match in the series to try to shoot the trend in favor of his team.

Players to watch:
England
Joe Root – The 150 points of the Yorkshireman in Manchester saw him rise above the big crickets to become the second scorer of all time.

Ben Stokes – The versatile has really led in this series, making valuable contributions with Bat and Ball. The 4th test saw Stokes reaching its peak, smashing 141 points on 198 balls and taking a five for the first heats of India. During the defensive screen of India, Stokes seemed to be the most dangerous of what elsewhere for England, although it was riddled with minor injuries and it is with the ball that Stokes could make the greatest impact on the oval again.
India
Shubman gill – The captain of India was superb in the opening tests, in particular in the 2nd where he marked 269 and 161. He added again to his count of centuries in Manchester to help save the game and seems to have found his contact. Gill will be desperate for the victory in London to draw his first series as a Captain and should withdraw another good performance to lead his front team.
Jasprit Bumrah – Bumrah has proven to be fatal several times in the series and is less than most of the damage, if his body cooperates. The Paceman decimated in England in Lord’s, affirming a five to put his name on the Council of Honors and he will seek to imitate his success on his return to the capital.
