ENG vs IND Dream11 Prediction: This series is beautifully poised after England’s formidable victory at Headingley. On the face of it, England’s victory at Leeds, so comprehensive in its nature, should give the hosts the advantage ahead of the fourth Test at the Oval. What sort of Indian team will the hosts encounter at the Oval remains to be seen. Both teams are set to do at least 1 change and this promises to be a riveting match. The forecast is set fair for the first four days of the game although there is a chance of rain on day five.

Traditionally the Oval pitch offers a little something for everyone. There is usually bounce and carry for the quicker bowlers while it tends to spin on days four and five as well. In between times, it is typically a nice surface on which to bat. All the indications are that the pitch for this game will follow a similar pattern although the day before the match, there was more of a green tinge to it than might be normal.
