England will face India in the 4th Test of the India tour of England, 2025 on 23 July 2025 at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester. This article will cover match details, pitch report, playing XI, player stats, Dream11 predictions and fantasy cricket tips for the IND vs ENG match.
Match Preview
As the series stands at 2–1 in England’s favour, both teams arrive in Manchester carrying the scars of a draining Lord’s Test. The eight-day break offered recovery time, but signs of physical and mental fatigue remain evident.
Rishabh Pant’s light-hearted antics at training and Jofra Archer’s collapse after his match-winning spell underline the toll. With Stokes and Bumrah battling fatigue and key players sidelined, reinforcements have been drafted for a high-stakes encounter.
India must win to keep their series hopes alive, while England can seal the series with a fourth-Test victory.

IND vs ENG Pitch Report for 4th Test
At Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester, the weather could play just as big a role as the pitch itself, with light rain forecast across all five days and potential interruptions looming. The surface has previously hosted big first-innings scores in County games, though conditions have changed since May with heavy rain in the lead-up. The overcast skies might tempt captains to bowl first, hoping for early movement, but there’s a twist, no team has ever won a Test here after choosing to bowl first. It’s a classic Manchester conundrum: play the conditions or respect the history.
