The 4th Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between India and England begins July 23, 2025, at Old Trafford, Manchester, with England leading 2-1.
India, trailing after a 22-run loss at Lord's, face a must-win to level the series. Shubman Gill's side is hit by injuries, with Nitish Kumar Reddy, Akash Deep, and Arshdeep Singh ruled out, potentially paving the way for Anshul Kamboj's debut. Jasprit Bumrah's availability remains uncertain, while Rishabh Pant may play as a batter, with Dhruv Jurel keeping wickets.

England replace the injured Shoaib Bashir with Liam Dawson, adding spin variety. The Old Trafford pitch offers early seam movement, favoring pacers, but may assist spinners later. Light rain is forecast, with possible interruptions on Days 2 and 4. Key players include Gill, Jadeja, and Bumrah for India, and Stokes, Root, and Archer for England. A fiery contest looms as both teams vie for series control.
India confirmed three changes in their team as Sai Sudharsan comes back into the side replacing Karun Nair. Apart from that, India have also included Shardul Thakur while Anshul Kamboj makes his debut.
England captain Ben Stokes won the Toss, decided to Bowl first.
