The India vs England 2025 Test series has shaped up to be a fascinating one already. After three Tests, the scoreline stands 1-2 in favour of the England National Cricket Team and the action will now head to Old Trafford in Manchester, where the IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025 is set to be played. India will enter the IND vs ENG 4th Test on the back of a heartbreaking defeat by 22 runs at the Lord's Cricket Ground. Chasing 193 to win, India were reduced to 112/8 at one stage after which Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah showed a lot of fight. Ravindra Jadeja then had another fighting partnership with Mohammed Siraj before the match ended with the latter unluckily being bowled off a delivery by Shoaib Bashir.Ā IND vs ENG 4th Test 2025, Manchester Weather, Rain Forecast and Pitch Report: Hereā€™s How Weather Will Behave for India vs England Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Match at Emirates Old Trafford.

The India National Cricket Team head into Old Trafford knowing that they are in a must-win situation to keep the IND vs ENG 2025 Test series alive. Already 1-2 down, another defeat will mean a series loss for Shubman Gill and co and it wouldn't be the ideal start for India in the ICC WTC 2025-27 (World Test Championship) cycle. The England National Cricket Team, on the other hand, will look to give their absolute best in bettering India at Manchester, an outcome which will hand them an unassailable 1-3 series lead.
