The last match of the five-match Test series between India and England will be played from tomorrow (March 7) at the HPCA Stadium in Dharamshala. Meanwhile, England has announced its playing eleven for the fifth and final Test against India to be played in Dharamsala from March 7 (Thursday). Compared to the Ranchi Test match, the visiting team has made one change for this match.

Mark Wood, who was out of the Test match played in Ranchi, has been included in the playing XI for the last match. Ollie Robinson has been dropped for the fifth and final Test match. Interestingly, amidst all the talk about rest and workload management, experienced James Anderson is playing his fourth consecutive Test match on this tour.

He has bowled 94 overs in three Test matches so far, taking eight wickets, the most by a fast bowler in the series. Now he has a great chance to achieve the big feat of 700 wickets in Test cricket. He is just two wickets away from becoming the first fast bowler to reach this historic feat. He would like to achieve this feat in this test match.

Jonny Bairstow will play his 100th test match

It was believed that the England team could reduce one batsman and include a fast bowler. In this situation, Jonny Bairstow’s cards seemed to be cut. However, the management has given another chance to this batsman who is going to play his 100th Test.

In such a situation, if the fast bowlers get help amid the cold in Dharamshala, then Ben Stokes can be seen bowling. He has not bowled in the series yet. However, he has been seen bowling in the nets many times. The Indian team is also going to field with only two fast bowlers, because here too a spin friendly wicket will be prepared.
