England are favourites to win
England take on India in the fifth and final match of the Test series which was originally scheduled for September 2021. The hosts are a reinvigorated side under new captain, Ben Stokes, and coach, Brendon McCullum. This will be India’s first Test since beating Sri Lanka 2-0 in March. Read on as we preview this game. This Test begins at 10:30 local time at Edgbaston, Birmingham on Friday.
England will fancy their chances against India in this Test. The home side have not only been enjoying their cricket this summer but have been winning with an aggressive style.
India is without the services of full-time skipper Rohit Sharma and opener KL Rahul which is a cause of concern for the opening pair. We speculate Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara to open the innings for India in this crucial Test.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sony Six in India, Sky Sports in the UK, FREE Kayo Sports trial in Australia, Spark Sport in New Zealand
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney Plus and Sky Go.
The last four Test Matches at Edgbaston have seen the toss winning captain choose to bat first. We predict that both Ben Stokes and Jasprit Bumrah will want to bat first in this Test.
Only five of 32 wickets that fell during the 2021 Test were taken by spin bowlers. Although this will be a fine batting wicket with a par score of 400, we expect pace bowlers to always be in the game.
There is a slight threat of rain over the first three days of the Test but we expect minimal disruption to play. Expect temperatures of no higher than 19 degrees.

Jamie Overton made his England Test debut at Headingley and scored 97 in the first innings. Primarily picked as a bowler, he took a wicket in each innings but we expect him to be replaced by the returning Jimmy Anderson. Ben Foakes has recovered from illness and should take his place as wicket-keeper in the XI.
England are targeting their fourth successive Test victory in this match. They have not won more than three Tests on the bounce since November 2018.
Alex Lees, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes (c), Sam Billings (w), Matthew Potts, Stuart Broad, Jack Leach, James Anderson.
Rohit Sharma has been ruled out of the 5th Test due to health issues. In his absence, pacer Jasprit Bumrah has been appointed as the captain of the Test team. Hanuma Vihari is the no.1 contender to replace Rohit Sharma at the top order.
India won their last two Tests, home victories against Sri Lanka earlier this year. However, they lost their last two away Tests, against South Africa in January.
Shubman Gill, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah (c), Shardul Thakur, Mohammed Siraj, Mohammed Shami
England have an 18 Test lead against India in the overall head to head records. However, in recent times, it is India who have had the upper hand. India have lost only twice to England in their last eight meetings in this format.

England’s recent change of approach and change of results in Test cricket means they are strong favourites ahead of this Test Match in Birmingham.
Whenever two great sides meet, you can bet there will be some of the world’s top batters on display. Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow are both in fantastic form for England and Virat Kohli has an incredible record for India.
For England, we are backing Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes with the bat. Stokes has hit 11 Test centuries and will want to put in a big innings against India in his first Test against them as captain.
Virat Kohli, Cheteshwar Pujara and Shubman Gill are our picks for India with the bat. 22 year old Gill has not played Test cricket since December 2021 but has hit four half-centuries from 10 Test appearances.
Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad and Matty Potts are our bowling picks for England. Potts made his debut against New Zealand and finished the series with 14 wickets at an average of 23.28.
Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Mohammed Siraj are our bowling recommendations for India. Siraj took wickets in all but one innings of this Test series back in 2021.
If this game had taken place, as scheduled, in September 2021, India would have been favourites after inflicting a 157 run defeat over England at the Oval in the previous match. However, England are a different side now and play in a very different and effective style. We are backing the home side to win this Test.
