As usual, Indians are too shy to announce their team and looking for good muhrat but Poms rolled a dice already.

Surprisingly Jimmy playing back to back tests, makes sense because for them series is on the line and they'd like to see 2-2 after 4th test match.

They need the permission of Jay Shah who will give them the muhurat time and accordingly, they would reveal the name. Why Shoaib Bashir? The kid did not do anything out of the box in the game that he played last. Took a total of 4 wickets and scored only 8 runs not sure what is going on in the mind of the English team. They have only Anderson who can destroy the Indian batting. I was happy to see him getting thrashed by Jaiswal in the third test when he got his double century.

Olli Robison has a good record against India and he's good with the cutters which could be helpful and might trouble Indian batters so he's not a bad choice.

Leggie Rehan Ahmed was offering 1-2 dollies in every over and didn't look disciplined enough with his line and length so they had to replace him.

The 4th test match started from tomorrow, India already leads the series by 2-1 by Winning the third test match by a huge margin. I think Indian team more confident about winning the fourth test match also and they have more advantage to playing at home ground while England announced their strong team Jimmy Anderson is also back in the playing Eleven and they will try to win it and strong comeback in the fourth test match against India. England only win the first test match by just short of 28 runs otherwise india won the three test matches. I hope it's an interesting match between India vs English and India has more chances to win and also win the series.

Two changes as expected, Bairstow did nothing in 6 innings so swapping with Robison is expected and Basir look more in control while bowling while Rehan ahmed is throwing all over the pitch.

India doesn't need to announce the playing XI before the toss and if Eng do then it's their choice.

Why would that be a surprise for Anderson to play another match?

If he does get replaced then I am not sure who will be picked as he was selected based on him being a specialist.

Patidar can be replaced with Devdutt Paddikal.

Robinson and Bairstow both are there, Robinson is replacement for Mark Wood, and on England's spinners tbh, I do not find either of them that good.

True, India usually announce playing XI on toss, and it's more reliable that way, avoids last minute changes.

Why would that be a surprise for Anderson to play another match?

Well, Grandpa is about to turn 42 soon. Already featured in 2 back to back test matches and playing 3rd on the trot. He bowled 73 overs in the last 2 test matches and 38 overs came in the last test.   

In contrast, Bumrah is 30 yo and bowled almost 81 overs in the last 3 tests and taking a break.

Fair enough, he's shy of 4 wickets from coveted 700 wickets milestone, that might be the reason he's going to continue in 4th test.

Also, I'm seeing rain might spoil the match tomorrow.

India vs England 4th Test match starts tomorrow. England team had a batting failure in the second innings of the third test match, due to which they lost the third test match very badly against India. England team is suffering from their batting failure from 2023 world cup if England team wants to change their game then they must bat and bowl well against  India otherwise they will not be able to win the test match against India. If England's batsmen can patiently plan the long game then they can give India a big target. We all know India is a very strong team their batting is very strong so if England want to win the Test series against India they must improve their batting otherwise they  Will never win a Test series against India.

India vs England
The fourth Test match between India and England starts tomorrow.We have seen earlier that India lost the first test match to England but then they came back well and India won the second and third test match in a row. One of India's best bowlers, Jasprit Bhomra, may not be attached to the Indian team, and the Indian pace bowling attack will be weakened due to his absence from the Indian team. India have added a new wicket keeper player to their squad namely Dhruv Jurel. I have utmost confidence that India will win this fourth Test and clinch the series with one match to spare.

The host India will take on England in the fourth Test match tomorrow to secure the series with one match in hand. Although India lost the first match, India defeated England by a big margin in the last two matches, so if India can win the fourth Test match against England, then India will confirm the Test series with one match in hand. If England can do well in the fourth test and take the result in their favour, the fifth test will be the series decider for both teams and the fifth match will be the final match. With the current form of the Indian players, predicting the result of the fourth test match is not a very difficult task, considering the performance of the last two matches, we can easily say that team India will definitely be ahead in the fourth test match. England failed to perform as well as they did in the first match in the last two matches due to which they were badly beaten by India in the last two matches.

In the fourth Test match between India and England, the Indian team will certainly want to secure the series with one match in hand. Indian batsmen are performing very well Indian team batsmen and bowlers have performed very well so it is expected that the Indian team will win the fourth test match against England. But England's batsmen were batting failure in the third test match if they can bat well and say it then maybe the match against India can be competitive but it will be very difficult for England to win the test match against India. Now let's see in the end how well the England team can give their performance and prove themselves how well they can perform against India.

India in good position in this 5 test match series. England won the first test and to me it will be the only win for England in this test series. Indian young batsmen like Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill are in good touch. On the other hand English batsmen are not performing well and there is a batting collapse in second innings of third test. England need to improve there batting performance if they wan to remain in this series.

Although India is in a good position, England team is not in a good position at the moment in this series. England won their first Test match but lost their next two matches. Due to which the Indian team is still ahead of England. England must win the fourth Test against India if they want to keep their dream of winning this series alive and they have no other option.And if England lose to India in the fourth Test they will lose the series. England need to improve not only their batting but also their batting, bowling and fielding so that they can put up a strong fight against India.

[Patrol69]

Now let's see in the end how well the England team can give their performance and prove themselves how well they can perform against India.

England has toured India England is performing as a visiting team against India then it is natural that India will perform better than England. India are performing in their own conditions as well as in support of India and the players have a good idea of the wickets of the venues they are playing in so it goes without saying that the Indian bowlers will have an added advantage over England. We can see that England's batsmen and bowlers are not performing in proportion to the way Indian batsmen and Indian bowlers are performing. Again we noticed this when India went to England as a touring team but the winning result mostly went in favor of England. Win or lose is normal but I want England to win the fourth test only then the fifth test match will be more interesting.

[Bitcoin Smith]

Ollie Robinson is replacing Mark Wood and Bashir comes in for Rehan. Redhead Johnny is in the playing XI.

Bairstow gave nightmares to Indian bowling unit in the past, it is the reason why England back him? He is not even showing any signs to read the ball even in flat tracks and going on back foot which put him in this situation.

Just now saw some stats of Ranchi venue intl stats, only two matches have been played there and avg scores of all the 4 innings are around 300 so it may not be a run feat like Rajkot but definitely not a rank turner. India will surely miss the Bumrah since 39% of wickets took by seamers and only 61% by spinners in the venue.

[Sithara007]

4th test will start tomorrow and if India wins this one, then they wins the series. Already they are up by 2-1. BTW, it will be interesting to see whether James Anderson can get to the magical 700 wicket mark in this test match. At this point he has 696, and needs four more. Another player to watch will be Sarfaraz Khan. He will be playing his second test and right now his test batting average stands at 130.00. Also, it will be interesting to see whether Mukesh Kumar or Akash Deep will be included in the playing XI. I would actually prefer them ahead of Mohammed Siraj.

The Indian team performed very well in the third test match which led the Indian team to a huge victory of 434 runs against England. India is undoubtedly the strongest team they become even more devastating at home. The Indian team has given their service performance since the start of the 2023 World Cup. The fourth test series of the five test series against England will be held today as usual India played better on their home ground now let's see how well the England team can perform. However, the England batsmen will want to score big runs and bowl well today so that they win the fourth Test match and  2-2. And if the England team loses today's Test match as well then India will win the Test series with one Test match in hand.

I am missing rank turner now.

No, not really. Bairstow performed exceptionally well under the new regime (Stokes +Baz) and he was instrumental in their success but he never had any sort of success in India and so far completely failed with the bat. In his last 11 tests in India, he has a mediocre average of 25-ish. They are still backing him tho.

Another debut for India in this series. Seamer Akas Deep is in.

The fourth Test match between India and England is going to start with only 25 minutes left for the start of this Test match. An interesting fact about this series is that the team that won the toss and decided to bat first won the match.As evidenced by the fact that England won the toss earlier in the first test match and elected to bat, they won the test match. Similarly, India won the toss in the second and third Test matches and elected to bat first and they won the second and third Test matches.Today is the fourth test match between India and England where England won the toss first and they decided to bat first then are they going to win this test match.

[Bureau]

England won the toss and choose to bat first. India is playing without Jasprit Bhumrah, he has been replaced by Akash deep it his debut game. Patidar is playing once again looks like both Rohit and Dravid have still faith in him. If India win this test then they will win the series if not then the last test will be the decider. A lot of pressure is on Joe Root as he has failed with his bat in the series. Let's see whether he is able to deliver what has been expected from him in the fourth test. Jaisawal needs another 139 runs to get to his first 1000 runs in test cricket.

[Bitcoin_people]

India vs England 4th Test match is going on and England team is batting in the first innings. England team can definitely change their game in today's match as they lost the third test very badly so they might play well today. England team hosted the first test match if they win the fourth match then the match will be tied 2-2, so hosting the fourth test match is very important for England. Although it is very difficult for England to win against India, it is very important for England to win this match otherwise they will not be able to win the Test series. The match has started now and the way the England team is scoring them, if they play well today they will definitely score big. England team currently scored 18 runs in 6 overs, India team's bowling performance today is very severe and their bowling performance has improved a lot, the way they are bowling England team is under pressure now.
