The Indian bowling attack was all-over the English Batsmen as they had them struggling at 97 for 5.  Captain Jasprit Bumrah picked up the first three wickets while Mohammad Siraj picked up the crucial wicket of Joe Root.

England Captain Ben Stokes had warned India about the new brand of cricket England have begun playing under the new the coach Brendon Mccullum A lot would depend on the pair of Stokes and Bairstow to bring back England into the match. Bairstow is coming into this series in the form of his life. He’s the highest run-scorer of the year in Test cricket and recently scored back-to-back hundreds against New Zealand.

India are leading the series by 2-1 and are looking for a Test series win in England after 15 years. They last won a series on English soil in 2007 under the leadership of current head coach Rahul Dravid. A draw or a win in the ongoing Test would seal the series for India. Cricket pundits have predicted England to win the fifth Test.
