Ind vs eng 5th test: The five -match Test series between India and England has now reached the decisive turn. The last and fifth Test match of the series will be played at Kennington Oval in London from 31 July. While the host England will take the field with a 2–1 lead, this is the last chance to have a series draw with Team India. The eyes of both teams are on winning this match, but the role of team combination, injury and weather is making this match even more interesting.
There will be a big change in playing XI
The Indian team has suffered a big shock due to the injury of wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant. Due to which change is fixed for this match in the Indian team. Due to Rishabh Pant’s injury, Dhruv Jurlel is likely to get a chance in the last Test.
At the same time, England has also suffered a big loss in the form of his captain Ben Stokes. He is not fit and in his absence, Oli Pope has been given the command of England.
India’s bowling was weak in the Manchester match, especially when England hit 669 runs in the first innings. Although debutant Anshul Kamboj was in the discussion for his pace, the rest of the bowlers had failed to impact in the match. The batsmen definitely took the team out of crisis, especially Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar’s century innings helped India draw a match draw.
