In the fourth game of the five-match Test series, England captain Ben Stokes has won the toss and elected to bowl first against Team India in Manchester.
Currently, the hosts are leading the five-match Test series by 2-1 and have the opportunity to seal the series if they manage to win the ongoing match.
Heading into the fourth Test, the Ben Stokes-led England side only made one change to their playing XI. Liam Dawson has come in as a replacement for an injured Shoaib Bashir. The spinner was ruled out for the remainder of the series owing to an injury.
