India vs England, 4th Test Day 1 Live Cricket Updates: England Opt To Bowl, Umesh Yadav, Shardul Thakur In India XI

England captain Joe Root received the toss and determined to bowl towards India at The Oval as Virat Kohli introduced in Umesh Yadav and Shardul Thakur rather than Mohammed Shami and Ishant Sharma. After dropping the third Check match by an innings and 76 runs in Leeds, India might be seeking to make a powerful comeback. Root led from the entrance because the hosts outclassed India at Headingley to stage the five-match sequence 1-1. On the eve of the fourth Check match, India added quick bowler Prasidh Krishna to their squad. For England, Mark Wooden and Chris Woakes’ availability bolstered their squad for the penultimate Check of the five-match sequence. After their emphatic efficiency, Root urged his aspect to be “ruthless” towards Virat Kohli-led India. “A world-class aspect like India, led by Virat Kohli, I count on nothing lower than a response. It could be naive to assume in any other case. We have simply received ourselves again to stage and, if we discover ourselves forward of the sport at any stage, we should get ruthless once more,” Root had stated. (LIVE SCORECARD)
