England and India meet at Edgbaston for their rearranged fifth and final Test this week.
India took a 2-1 series lead last summer before the final Test was called off amid an increase in Covid-19 cases in their camp.
It was initially announced that India had forfeited the Test but that was soon clarified and a new date was set for the Edgbaston match.
That is now coming up later this week and England will be hoping to tie the series.
Ben Stokes’ side have been in superb form this summer, white-washing New Zealand in three Tests and will want to continue that against India.
