Pant was batting well but due to pain he did not return to bat again. With Jadeja getting out early Indias middle order now looks weak and the teams position is in danger. The imperative of victory and historical statistics India is trailing 2-1 in this five-match series and it is important for them to win in Manchester so that the series can be leveled. But historical statistics are not in Indias favor - they have not won a single Test in 9 attempts at Old Trafford so far. Englands strategy and Indias challenge England captain Ben Stokes won the toss for the fourth consecutive time and decided to bowl first. After not getting any wickets in the first session England made a comeback in the match by dismissing KL Rahul Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill in the second session. Now that Pant is injured and Jadeja is also out Indias lower order has come under pressure. BCCIs update on Pant BCCI has given information about Pants injury and said that he can come out to bat as per the teams need. However it is still uncertain whether he will return to the field again or not.
