India and England face off in the fourth Test in Manchester starting from July 23. The scoreline reads 2-1 in favour of England with India needing a win to level the series and keep it alive. This is a must-win game for the Men in Blue.
India lost the second Test by just 22 runs. The loss cost India hugely in the series, which is why they are behind at the moment. The team is also facing a few injury concerns with key players missing.
Nitish Kumar Reddy has been ruled out of the rest of the series with a knee injury. Akash Deep and Arshdeep Singh are ruled out with injury concerns as well. Anshul Kamboj might make his Test debut in Manchester. England, on the other hand, have named their XI with Liam Dawson replacing Shoaib Bashir in the lineup.
Heading into this Test match, England are third on the WTC 2025-27 points table, while India fourth. A win for India will get them to 24 points and level with England. Thus, there is a lot to play for in this Test for both sides.
