England have seen a complete turnaround in their test side after an abysmal series in West Indies, with a 3-0 series victory over New Zealand and a mammoth run chase against India on Tuesday getting Ben Stokes’ captaincy off to a flying start.

After a Covid outbreak in the India camp in October last year, the fifth and final test of this series, due to be played at Old Trafford, was postponed and will now take place this weekend in Edgbaston.
