In the fifth and final Test match against Team India, England skipper Ollie Pope has won the toss and elected to bowl first at The Oval.

The Shubman Gill-led India is trailing the five-match Test series by 1-2 against the 'Three Lions'. The hosts will miss the services of their skipper Ben Stokes and lead pacer Jofra Archer. Stokes was ruled out of the fifth Test match, as he sustained a shoulder injury.

On the other hand, Team India will look to make the most out of the opportunity as England will line up without the likes of these two players. India, too, will line up without the likes of swashbuckling batsman Rishabh Pant and lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah. In Pant's absence, Dhurv Jurel will don the 'Big Gloves', and Prasidh Krishna has made the cut as the think tank decides to provide rest to Bumrah.
