Regarding the series, India is now losing 2-1. They came up short in the series opener at Headingley, as the hosts won by five wickets. India responded with a memorable 336-run victory at Edgbaston in the second match, thanks to an outstanding batting performance by skipper Shubman Gill. However, they lost a nail-biter at Lord’s by 22 runs, giving up the advantage.
The visitors will look to level the series at Old Trafford. The fourth Test is set to begin on Wednesday, July 23. Gill did not perform well with the bat in the third match. His batting performance and team management abilities will be heavily scrutinised.
The series’ final match will take place at Kennington Oval. The layover period between the fourth and fifth Tests will be substantially shorter.
