IND vs ENG 2021 Rain update: Weather in London on Thursday (September 2)

Expect consistent cloudy weather when India takes on England in the fourth Test at The Oval, London on Thursday (September 2).

The series marks the start of the second World Test Championship (WTC) cycle. The visitors will be keen to get their campaign off to a winning start and make amends for their loss to New Zealand in the first WTC final in June.

With the series tied 1-1, India will be eager to wrap up the tour on a winning note. It was an admirable effort from England in the third test as they fought back from 1-0 down to equalize the series.

Ollie Robinson's fifer dismantled India's batting as they crumbled without a fight.

Related: Wood, Woakes boost for England for 4th Test

Mark Wood and Chris Woakes' return from injury will bolster England ahead of the fourth Test in London. Wood's shoulder injury in the second Test at Lord's forced him out of the third Test with Craig Overton replacing him. It was a good run for the latter as he picked up six wickets.

Chris Woakes is back in contention after recovering from a heel injury he suffered in the T20 blast game for Birmingham Bears against Kent. He remains a strong contender to play at the Oval. Jos Buttler will miss the game, with Jonny Bairstow set to take the gloves.
