This has been one of the most entertaining and watchable Test series in a long time and we expect the fun and games to continue in this match in Ranchi.
England's ultra-attacking approach saw them criticised from many quarters in the last Test but if there is one thing we can be sure of from England is they will not take a backward step in this Test.
Rohit Sharma's side will now look to build on their heavy win in Rajkot but they have experienced players missing. Will England be able to take advantage and level the series at 2-2 to setup a decider in Dharamsala.

India won the last Test at a canter but with Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Jasprit Bumrah all not in action in this Test, their replacement players must step up to the plate! However, after the debutants Dhurv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan produced some exceptional batting in Rajkot, the selectors will be expecting them to help dig them out of a whole again in this match.
Jasprit Bumrah is the leading wicket taker in the series and his absence is likely to be welcomed by England's batters! But we know that India have just as much depth in their bowling attack as in the batting line up.
India can wrap up the series in this Test, but will they do it?

The 434 runs defeat for England in Rajkot was one of the most extra-ordinary turnarounds in a Test ever seen as England looked to have a very strong position toward the end of Wednesday.
Can England turn around the momentum though? After two successive defeats they are in trouble but the lack of Jasprit Bumrah could be just what England need to level the series.
Ben Stokes' captaincy will always create opportunities for the bowlers who just need more consistency and runs to play with in this game!
Can England delivery? We'll soon find out.

As with the other three Tests we have seen so far, no rain is forecast. It will be very warm in Ranchi on all five days of the Test.
The pitch is likely to play well in the opening session before starting to mis-behave! There are large cracks outside the off-stump of the right-handers and this could mean a quick and low-scoring game.
This is certainly a bat first pitch as the surface is already showing signs of deterioration. Whoever bats first will be wanting to make a score of just over 350 to be in the game.
You can never write England off in any country and we expect them to be better in this game but probably not up to a sufficient level to beat an under-strength India. Our prediction is for India to enjoy a comfortable victory.
