India won the fourth match at The Oval, London by 157 runs with Rohit Sharma taking the player of the match honours last year. The win helped India take a 2-1 lead. Then as the teams headed to Old Trafford for the decider, the visiting camp was hit by coronavirus and India, as the ECB initially said, forfeited the match. But the two cricket boards agreed to reschedule the match later. So, now it's England vs India, 5th Test (Rescheduled match).

India have since changed their leadership. Rohit Sharma has taken the reins from Virat Kohli the captain and Rahul Dravid is now the head coach. But Rohit will miss the match after testing positive for COVID-19. In his stead, Jasprit Bumrah will lead India at Edgbaston. The 28-year-old pacer thus will become the first pacer to lead India in a Test match in 35 years.
