IND vs ENG Match Prediction 5th Test: The 4th Test of the series also went down to the last session on day 5, as did the previous three Tests. The grit, determination, and resilience of the Indian batsmen denied England a win and a 3-1 series lead in Manchester.
Faced with a deficit of 311 runs and going 0/2 in the first over, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja, and Washington Sundar produced marathon batting efforts to secure a draw for India at Old Trafford, keeping the series scoreline at 2-1 in England’s favor and the chances of drawing the series level in the 5th Test alive.

IND vs ENG injury and availability news:
Both teams are expected to make changes to their bowling attacks, as the pacers must have gotten tired after bowling so many overs, not just in Manchester but throughout the series.
England could change their entire pace attack, replacing Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, and Jofra Archer with Josh Tongue, Gus Atkinson, and Jamie Overton.
For India, Rishabh Pant has been ruled out of the 5th Test with a broken foot. He will be replaced by Dhruv Jurel. Anshul Kamboj, who was down on his pace in his debut Test, is likely to be replaced by Akash Deep, who is fit now after missing the 4th Test.
With the series on the line, India might push Jasprit Bumrah for the 5th Test. The ineffective Shardul Thakur may be dropped, and India might finally pick Kuldeep Yadav. Arshdeep Singh and Prasidh Krishna are other pace options in the squad.
