After an epic victory at Lord's, England will look to seal the series and retain the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy when they take on India in the 4th Test of the five-match Test series. The match will be played at Old Trafford, Manchester, from 23 July 2025 to 27 July 2025 at 3:30 PM IST. England England registered a clinical 22-run victory against India in the Lord's Test match and extended their lead to 2-1 in the series. With the fourth Test not too far away, a victory will see them clinching the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy. Joe Root, Jofra Archer and skipper Ben Stokes were the star performers for the team in the last outing. Root scored his 37th Test ton, Archer clinched five wickets across both innings, and Stokes not only scored 76 runs but also took 5 wickets across both innings. England have not made any fresh changes for the fourth Test match except for the injured Shoaib Bashir, who has been replaced by Liam Dawson. The left-arm spinner is set to appear in his first Test match after 8 8-year hiatus. India Following a massive 336-run victory at Edgbaston Indian team was shattered by a disappointing 22-run loss at the Lord's, a fortress that they breached during the 2020-21 tour under the leadership of Virat Kohli. Despite some resilient knocks from KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja and some brilliant bowling display from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, India couldn't cross the winning line. A defeat in Manchester will see them lose the trophy, but a victory will keep their hopes alive. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Akash Deep will miss the fourth Test match due to injury. It will be interesting to see what the head coach and captain duo opt for.

Moreover, the pitch is likely to be a little balanced this time, offering a little help to spinners and other bowlers across all five days. ENG vs IND 4th Test: Weather Report The conditions in Manchester are worse currently. It has been raining continuously in Manchester since July 17, and due to this, the fourth Test match is likely to be affected by rain on the first two days of the match.
