The 4th England vs India Test is scheduled to get underway on July 23. The penultimate match of the five-Test series will be played at Old Trafford, Manchester.
After winning the third Test at Lord’s, England have taken a 2-1 lead in the series and a win in the upcoming game will power them to a series win. On the other hand, India need to win both the remaining Tests in order to clinch a series victory on the English soil for the first time since 2007.
India suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the third Test. After both the teams finished their first innings on 387 runs, India’s bowlers came up with a brilliant effort to bowl out England for 192 runs.
