India vs England 5th Test Match: Date, Time, Venue, Live Cricket Streaming, Predicted Playing XI, Other Details
India vs England (IND vs ENG) 5th Test Match Date, Time, Venue, Live Cricket Streaming, Playing 11 Prediction: India will take on England in the fifth of the five-match Test series at the Kennington Oval in London starting on Thursday. Going into the final game, India still has the opportunity to draw the series level. However, there are questions over which team the Indian side will pick. Although batters eventually did their job and bailed them out of trouble in the Manchester Test, it is the bowling that has looked quite ordinary for the side. Debutant Anshul Kamboj struggled with pace, and the likes of other bowlers could not get their accuracy right. In addition to the bowlers, Dhruv Jurel will be a straight swap for injured Rishabh Pant. As per England, they will be disappointed with the result in the last Test, as they have had control over the game for most periods. One thing they would want to change going into the final game will be their fast bowling combination. Although all the bowlers have had their moments in the series, both Brydon Carse and Chris Woakes have played four Tests each; hence, to manage their workload, England might be looking at a change. IND predicted XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Sai Sudharsan, Shubman Gill (c), Dhruv Jurel (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Shardul Thakur, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna Key player to watch out for: Rishabh Pant has been influential not only with the bat in the series but also has been a reliable keeper. Dhruv Jurel, in his chances of playing for both India and India A sides, has shown he is capable enough to carry the mantle, but can he do well under pressure in the deciding game? Only time will tell. ENG predicted XI: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Jamie Smith (wk), Liam Dawson, Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer Key player to watch out for: England skipper Ben Stokes will again be the player to watch out for. Even on a docile Manchester wicket, whenever Stokes has picked up the ball and bowled, he made things happen, and once again on the Oval surface, his bowling will be crucial, and with 141 in the previous game, he also has runs under his belt. India vs England head-to-head records in Tests Matches played: 140, India won: 36, England won: 53, Draw: 51 India vs England pitch report The wicket at the Oval is arguably one of the best pitches in England. Although due to the dry summer, all the wickets have behaved in a similar way but Oval traditionally helps seamers on Day 1, is good for batting on Days 2 and 3, and it tends to take a bit of turn on the final two days of the Test. India vs England weather details Rain is expected for the first two days of the Test match, according to the Accuweather app, hence the team winning the toss might be tempted to bowl first and make the most of the seaming and swinging conditions that might be on offer for the fast bowlers. India vs England livestreaming details The Test series between England and India will be telecast live on the Sony Sports Network. It will also be streamed live on the JioHotstar app and website.

‘Saving Test cricket is like saving the tiger'
David Gower London: David Gower was one of the finest batters from England to have played the game. At the age of 68, he is currently focusing on moving on from cricket and is auctioning off his cricketing possessions online. He was at Old Trafford watching another closely-fought Test between England and India. Moments after Rishabh Pant hobbled onto the pitch with a broken foot on the second day of the fourth Test, he sat down with TOI for a chat. 'When Pant got injured yesterday, part of me said, well that's good for England. But then the other part of me said, it's going to get dull now,' Gower said. Excerpts from the chat… Why are you auctioning off your cricket stuff? My family as a whole is trying to clear the decks. There are things, like, say, my first blazer from an England tour, the original MCC colours, very special. But it's been in a box in the attic for 30-40 years. I've nowhere to put it. It does bring back memories. If someone has a place to put that, then I'm happier it's on display somewhere, because my memory of that doesn't dim. Not everything went in the auction. There are medals and trophies which I've kept for my daughters. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Enjoy 100% Pure New Zealand and fly Air New Zealand airnewzealand Undo EXCLUSIVE | David Gower on Shubman Gill, Jasprit Bumrah and India's England tour You were one of the most elegant batters in your time. What do you make of modern-day batsmanship? You've got the contrast. You've got someone like Rishabh Pant who is a unique animal, and animal is not a pejorative term. At the same time, you've got Shubman Gill , who made hundreds of runs in a very old-fashioned way — controlled, elegant, using timing and not brute force. It was really important for India that a new captain makes a mark. The absence of two of the greats suddenly doesn't seem to matter. If there are enough people with the right sort of talent to make it exciting, then by all means pick them. If you are still playing Tests with a view to winning them, then you still have to look for the best players you can. If their styles are different, like Shubman and Rishabh, then the two things can live together in some sort of harmony. England's No. 1 to No. 7 are intent on moving the game forward quickly and being very positive. With a bit of added smartness, they can make it brilliant more often. Do you view Mike Gatting 's use of the reverse sweep in the 1987 World Cup final differently now? The reverse sweep has become much more common. It's played as easily as even an orthodox sweep or a cover drive or any other orthodox shot. With Mike's, I was commentating in London and I remember saying that's the worst shot I've ever seen. It wasn't needed. The game was almost won. It was Allan Border's last throw of the dice and Mike could have done anything. If you're Mike Gatting or Joe Root, if you try and scoop it over third man in a Test match and you get caught at slip or get caught reverse sweeping, it never looks good. Poll Do you think Test cricket is facing a serious threat to its existence? Yes, it's in serious danger No, it's well-supported Has the responsibility of saving the Test format fallen on England, India and Australia? That is a major fault in how world cricket is being administered. It tells you who has the money, who has the power. I love the way New Zealand play their cricket and I love the way they've taken their Test cricket to smaller grounds, pretty grounds, and made it look good. South Africa couldn't give a flying figure about Test cricket because the only thing that makes money is the SA20. I use the tiger as an example. The tiger was threatened with extinction. It's the most beautiful animal you'll come across anywhere. And when people realized that it was heading for the exit door, Project Tiger gave it a lifeline. I see Test cricket in very much the same sort of way. I love it when Virat Kohli says Test cricket is the most important thing in his life, in his career, because that is 1.4 billion votes for Tests if everyone in India follows his work. You've played with Ian Botham and extensively covered Andrew Flintoff. Both allrounders struggled as captains. What makes Ben Stokes different? There's a difference between handling them and them handling a team, for sure. Ian was the most brilliant cricketer, instinctively good. And the problem in the end for him was that he didn't have the instinct to manage people. He just rather expected them to do what he did and get on with it. Flintoff was brilliant for a shorter period of time. He did some extraordinary things. But trying to captain in Australia proved a step too far. He would admit he was a disaster off the field. He didn't cope particularly well. Now, Stokes has impressed me enormously. He too had off-field issues. The difference is that Ben, if you met him 10 years ago, you would never ever have predicted that he could be the captain that he is now. He was as talented as the other two, as instinctive, as self-centered as you might expect a young man to be at that stage. What those life problems have taught him is a lot about himself. The clearest demonstration is that empathy that he has with all the guys that come into this team. Ian didn't understand that people are different.
