Going into the fifth and final day at Old Trafford and it looked odds on that this week’s game in South London would be a dead rubber. That was until all-rounders Washington Sundar and Ravindra Jadeja came to the rescue, battling for the best part of the day to complete a pair of (not uncontroversial) centuries.
That means the sides head to The Oval with everything to play for. England lead the series 2-1 but looked like the walking wounded after having to bowl so many overs in Manchester. It means talismanic skipper Ben Stokes has been ruled out alongside three other changes that see Jacob Bethell, Gus Atkinson, Jamie Overton and Josh Tongue all come in.
India have the chance to capitalize, but have their own potential fitness worries to contend with — they’ll hope seamers Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will be fit and firing.

Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we’ve said, NordVPN is our favorite.
