The match returns to a venue filled with mixed emotions for Indian supporters — Old Trafford in Manchester, the site of India’s heartbreaking 18-run loss to New Zealand in the 2019 ICC Men’s World Cup semifinal.
Coming into the ongoing Test series, this young Indian squad bounced back in style in the second match after losing the opener at Headingley. With Shubman Gill and his team trailing 1-2 in the five-match series, they’ll hope to replicate their Birmingham dominance. But much may depend not just on the playing XI — but also on whether Manchester’s weather allows a full contest.
Multiple weather forecasters have predicted rain in Manchester on Day 1 of the fourth ENG vs IND Test, starting from 2 PM.
