England will be face India in the fourth Test of the five-match series at The Oval in Manchester, beginning on Thursday, 2 September. The series currently stands level at 1-1. India have won here only once, in 1971.
England will be without Jos Buttler. Ollie Pope is likely to replace him in the playing XI, while Jonny Bairstow will keep wickets. Despite an impressive show in Headingley, Craig Overton may have to warm the bench (along with Sam Curran) if England play both Chris Woakes and Mark Wood.
For India, the batting unit is likely to remain unchanged. On the bowling front, Ishant Sharma may not get a nod on his birthday, especially after an insipid, erratic bowling at Headingley. R. Ashwin is likely to replace him on a pitch that traditionally favours spin.
