India vs England: The Decider Begins
It’s crunch time in London. With England leading the series 2-1, India must win this one to level things up and avoid a series defeat. All eyes are on The Oval, where Day 1 promises to set the tone for what could be a classic Test match.
England are facing a bit of a setback, though—Ben Stokes is out with a shoulder injury. But he’s confident his squad has the depth to get the job done without him. Meanwhile, India is hungry to bounce back and spoil the party on English soil.
