Fifth Test between England and India cancelled ...

[TheLoneRanger]

"Following ongoing conversations with the BCCI, the ECB can confirm that the fifth LV= Insurance Test between England and India Men due to start today at Emirates Old Trafford, will be cancelled."

"Due to fears of a further increase in the number of COVID cases inside the camp, India are regrettably unable to field a team."

Protect the IPL at all costs. I think Agnew is right.

 

[Darran]

India win 2-1.

 

[Niigata Jack]

India win 2-1.

Nope, they forfeit this game, cause they've pulled out, series drawn I think.

"The postponed fifth Test between England and India will be held at Edgbaston from July 1-5 next summer, instead of its original venue at Emirates Old Trafford, and will also determine the result of the series, with India currently leading the series 2-1, following their victories at Lord's and The Kia Oval."
