Team England
The Joe Root-led side is set to take the field to level the ongoing five-match series. England are trailing 1-2 despite registering a mammoth victory by an innings and 76 runs in the third Test match at Leeds. The hosts are likely to feature Jos Buttler back in the playing XI in place of Jonny Bairstow. Moreover, James Anderson might also be rested and Mark Wood could be seen replacing him in the whites.
Team India
Virat Kohli’s men will be eyeing to register a series win in England for the first time after a long wait of 13 years. Apart from the Leeds Test, the visitors have dominated in the whole series. Moreover, they are coming here with an outstanding win at The Oval. Just like England, team India is also likely to make a few changes in their lineup for giving rest to some of their key players.
