The series becomes more intense and intriguing Test after Test. After a heartbreaking loss in the 2nd Test at Lord’s in the final hour, England rallied to tie the series 1-1 in the 3rd Test. Joe Root is in top form, having already scored three-century in this series. Jos Buttler has ruled out of the fourth Test, while Chris Woakes recalled the England squad.
On the other hand, India has reservations about playing against Swing since they were bowled out for just 78 runs on the first day of the third Test. The visitors are still concerned about their captain and vice-poor captain’s form in this series, even if they have no intentions to bring in another batsman for the fourth Test. They only need one more win to keep the Pataudi trophy.
Weather
On the 4th and 5th days of the match, rain might interrupt the game. Over the five days, the average temperature should be 19 degrees Celsius.
Pitch
In the first innings, the wicket at the Kennington Oval should be good to bat on, with some seamer help. As the game progresses, the pitch may slow down, and spinners may be used. Overall, we may expect another evenly matched bat-and-ball battle.
