What To Expect At the Oval?

India need to win at the Oval to draw the series. They are injured; Rishabh Pant is out with a toe fracture. Also there is uncertainty over Jasprit Bumrah playing due to workload management. The plan was for him to play only 3 games on this tour. He has already played 3, so the team management has a selection headache. The Oval pitch is known to be a batting friendly one so expect plenty of runs. India’s lack of bowlers might be a problem in the next game.
