The Test series between India and England has come down to the final act, as the two teams are set to meet for the 5th Test at the Oval, starting from Thursday (July 31).

England hold an advantage with a 2- 1 lead in the series. Shubman Gill's India has shown grit across the series and has the glorious opportunity to level the series with a victory in the final match.

Despite being in the driving seat for the majority of the sessions, the young Indian team has thrown away their advantage, but that has all been a precious learning curve for the team. As the focus now shifts back to London again, the Indian team will be aiming for a turnaround from their Lord's outing recently.

India is expected to make a few strategic changes, including the likely absence of star pacer Jasprit Bumrah, who showed signs of fatigue in the last match. Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep are expected to lead the Indian pace attack, with Arshdeep Singh potentially making his Test debut.

England, missing their captain Ben Stokes due to a shoulder injury, has named Ollie Pope as captain as they aim to seal the series win. England have also introduced fresh faces like Jacob Bethell, Gus Atkinson, Jamie Overton, and Josh Tongue. England's bowling attack might see some rotation to manage tired bowlers after a long series.
