After a long break, the home team arrives in the 4th test of the 5 match series with a winnning momentum.

The home side is 2-Nil ahead and will look to seal the series, even with a draw, while England has to definitely register a win to stay alive in the series. On the team composition, India's lead fast bowler Mohammed Shami has reported sore knee and middle-order batsman Ajinkya Rahane broke his right index finger and has been ruled out of the series. Karnataka batsman Manish Pandey and Mumbai seamer Shardul Thakur have been added to the squad as cover. However, India may bring Bhuvneshwar Kumar back in the playing eleven instead of Shami and Karun Nair should retain his place in the middle order after Rahane's injury. Parthiv Patel retains his role as wicketkeeper with Wriddhiman Saha yet to recover from his thigh strain. KL Rahul might also slot back in the top of the order.
