An injury-hit Indian side will face tough challenge when they take on England in the fourth Test against England at Old Trafford in Manchester on Wednesday (July 23). Having lost the Lord's Test by a narrow 22 runs, India come into the game trailing the series 1-2.
England captain Ben Stokes once again won the toss - fourth consecutive time in the series - and opted to bowl first. India made three changes to their squad - Sai Sudharsan, Anshul Kamboj and Shardul Thakur replacing Karun Nair, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Akash Deep.
On the other hand, Liam Dawson came in place of injured Shoaib Bashir as the only change in the England playing XI. But the real question is how have India fared at Old Trafford in Manchester in Tests?
