After losing the series 3-1 in Southampton, Virat Kohli's men will take on England for the fifth and final Test match of the summer at the Oval, London. When Virat Kohli takes the field at the Oval, he should look to bridge the gap and make it 2-3 at Oval.

Alastair Cook and Keaton Jennings are looking quite comfortable after England opted to bat against India in the fifth Test match at the Oval.


Ravindra Jadeja strikes as Keaton Jennings departs for 23, England 60/1 at The Oval. Keaton Jennings wanted to guide the ball down the leg side but was caught at leg-slip by KL Rahul.

The 24-year-old, Hanuma Vihari was brought in to the playing XI in place of all-rounder Hardik Pandya. Vihari becomes the first Andhra cricketer in almost 18 years to represent India in the longest format of the game.Debutant Hanuma Vihari has been handed the ball in the 14th over England's innings.

Interesting choice by skipper Virat Kohli as he does not give Shami or Jadeja the ball but opts for Vihari. Two left-handers at the crease must be the reason behind this move.

India playing 11:

Shikhar Dhawan, Lokesh Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane, Hanuma Vihari, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja, Ishant Sharma, Mohammed Shami, Jasprit Bumrah

England playing 11:

Alastair Cook, Keaton Jennings, Moeen Ali, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes, Jos Buttler, Sam Curran, Adil Rashid, Stuart Broad, James Anderson
