England are in the lead but India has been in the ascendency for most part ot the tour. They can't be said as the dominant side though with the lost moments being so drastic and painful while England have just been a class apart when the game has reached crucial junctures. It has been a spicy tour and the last few minutes of the 4th Test was nothing short of drama as well. Tired legs come into the Final Test with both teams bowling a storng number of overs. Ben Stokes has been ruled out along with Jasprit Bumrah leaving both players without their most influential players. Rishabh Pant, another X-factor is also out of the game while England leave out Jofra Archer on their end.

England vs India Players to Watch
Zak Crawley
Zak Crawley has been on the slower side this series taking his time and leaving more balls to get into the game. He has found runs in a different way in the face of challenges which is interesting and a highlight of his maturity.
Arshdeep Singh
Arshdeep Singh is in line for a debut. He has the ability to be a new-ball star in red-ball cricket with good swing on his side and with Bumrah out he brings the X-factor with his left-arm pace. Can he prove that he is a three-form bowler with a debut finally coming.
England vs India Match Tips
Experience and home advantage keep England in front at the moment. India though has the bowling unit and batting potential to compete and could make noise as underdogs if the young guns start strong.
