The ongoing India vs England Test series is coming to an end at The Oval, London, which is the home to Surrey Cricket Club and Oval Invincibles (The Hundred). Meanwhile, the Three Lions are leading the series 2-1 after having won the first and third matches. The visitors won the second Test and drew the fourth one comfortably. They can’t win this series but can definitely level the series.
This could be a great result given that the team had moved on from the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. Talking about the pitch report, India head coach Gautam Gambhir was taking some notes before he had an altercation with the groundsman. Meanwhile, the pitch at The Oval has mirrored the pitches at the Indian subcontinent.

India vs England Pitch Report & Conditions:
The Oval pitch hasn’t changed over the years. It starts as a seam friendly on day one but becomes a batting paradise for day two and three. In the last two days, spinners could be effective, which has been seen historically. Batting first won’t be a bad idea even if the wicket isn’t conducive for batting on day one. However, there is a heavy rain forecast on Day One, which could tempt teams to bowl first
