A tour that started almost 50 days ago is finally at its business end. With England leading the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2-1, it all boils down to the fifth and final Test match, scheduled to take place at the Kennington Oval, London. India enter the game with high spirits after they clawed a draw from the jaws of defeat in Manchester. Now, they need to win the last Test in order to share the trophy.
Special hundreds from Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar helped India play out a hard-fought draw in Manchester. KL Rahul’s 90 was equally important. However, now, the word is that India might miss the services of Jasprit Bumrah for the fifth Test, who is likely to prioritise his workload. In the meantime, Arshdeep Singh is likely to make his Test debut. Also, Rishabh Pant is ruled out of this clash after the freakish fracture he suffered in the previous game.

The ugly verbal spat between India’s head coach Gautam Gambhir and Oval’s pitch curator has been the major talking point ahead of the fifth Test. Keeping that aside, the pitch matchday minus day two looked quite greenish. However, the groundsman will cut some grass on the eve of the clash.
This means the pacers will do the talking, especially with the brand new red Dukes cherry. This domestic season, seamers have ruled the roost as well, having picked up 131 of the 150 wickets that have fell in 5 games. Moreover, since 2019, the average score has been less than 300 across all the four innings in Tests at Kennington Oval. This all sums up that we might have a low-scoring affair, favouring seamers.
