Notably, India have a poor record against England in tests at Old Trafford. They have never defeated England in the longest format of the game at this venue. Out of nine tests, the hosts have won four games and five ended in a draw.

Hence, the visitors will look to break the jinx and script history in the ongoing Manchester test. Moreover, India need to win this encounter to keep hopes alive for series win as the hosts lead the five-match series 2-1 after the first three games.
