Team India's bowling coach Morne Morkel was seen bowling to the batters as they were seen practising at the Kent Cricket Ground in Beckenham before heading to Manchester for the fourth Test against England. A video of the same surfaced on social media as the batting unit put in the hard yards.
Team India's batting line-up came massively under the scanner at Lord's after hitting the highs at Edgbaston in both innings. However, they got bowled out for 170 in pursuit of 193 in the fourth innings at Lord's, with only Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul showing appreciable resistance. As a result, England went 2-1 up in the series.
Team India out to win their first Test in Manchester to make five-match series 2-2
The Asian Giants are targeting their first-ever Test victory at Old Trafford, Manchester to level the five-Test series 2-2. In nine Tests played at the venue since 1936, the tourists have drawn five and lost four. With the city also prone to rains, Team India face a herculean task to force a result in their favour.
Shubman Gill and co. will look to take inspiration from their win at Edgbaston, which was also an unconquered venue until this tour. On the other hand, England will look to carry the momentum from their nervy win at Lord's to Old Trafford. They are certain to make one change to their XI due to Shoaib Bashir getting ruled out of the remainder of the matches due to a finger injury.
