All the best to Team India

To grab the series, India must win this test. 

With a full squad in the playing 11, experts are opining that India has a great chance to win this test to wrap up the series with an impressive performance. 

Of course there's much more to this game than the pitch on offer. For starters, it can be the catharsis that Indian cricket so needs after the heartbreak in South Africa. Virat Kohli might no longer be the captain of the side but he's been the face of India's ambitions abroad, not in the least in England. If 2014 was about a tour in progressive decline for India, 2018 was often about crucial moments missed. The side got most things right in 2021, only for the virus to put paid to it all. All they needed was a draw. All they need is a draw.

England couldn't be more delighted about the timing of this. Such was last summer that even Joe Root at his peak wasn't enough to salvage games for them. This is a different year under Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum, and England are playing a completely different brand of cricket. They have played themselves into a new era inside three Test matches this summer and are looking to push the line for positive play.

But will it be as simple for England against India? If the wait has taught us anything, it's that a lot has changed but a lot also hasn't.
