IND vs ENG 4th Test Live: England Won The Toss And Choose To Bowl

Background

IND Vs ENG: Team India is back in London again and this time, on a spin-friendly track of the Oval. India would like to exploit the conditions using Ravichandran Ashwin's off spin.  

It has been a "spicy" series as Virat Kohli exclaimed on the eve of the Oval Test match and it is bound to get only "spicier" as per him. Well, it has to if India has to make a comeback after a rather humiliating loss at the Lord's Stadium in London. 

MATCH DAY 💪🏻

The Oval's surface has a history of favouring the spin bowlers, especially in the second innings. Oval's surface is very interesting. It gets better as the Test match progresses but then, it starts turning again on Day 4 or 5.
