India to miss Pant, likely Bumrah in Oval; England to play without Stokes and 3 others

Pant, who was amongst runs for India, will be replaced by Dhruv Jurel in the match to be played from July 31 to August 4.

India's pace bowling sensation Jasprit Bumrah will be rested to manage his workload.

Though India haven't announced their playing XI but cricket experts speculate Kuldeep Yadav and Akash Deep's inclusion into the team.

Washington Sundar, who slammed a match-saving century along with Ravindra Jadeja at the Lord's, is likely to be retained for his allround mastery.

England's regular captain Ben Stokes will miss the Test for his injury while Jofra Archer and Brydon Carse have been rested. Liam Dawson has been dropped from the playing XI.

Jacob Bethell, Gus Atkinson, Jamie Overton and Josh Tongue will replace the four in the squad.

Ollie Pope will lead the English side in Stokes' absence.

Though India heroically drew the fourth Test on July 27, England are ahead of the visitors in the five-match series 2-1.
