The reason for that was the heroic efforts Indian batters had displayed on the final day at Manchester when England had the game in their hand but could not go through the resilient partnership of Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar, who both managed to score their tons to help India register a famous draw.

Jasprit Bumrah is expected to miss out, and who will replace him is to be seen.
