Indian cricketers, including skipper Rohit Sharma and opener Shubman Gill, on Monday hit the nets here ahead of the rescheduled fifth and final Test against England, starting in Birmingham on July 1.

The form of Stokes and Co. is not lost on Dravid, who left for England in the early hours of Monday after the T20 series against South Africa. "In terms of the Test match, it's going to be exciting for us. It is just a one-off Test match, but WTC points and series are on the line and guys who played a part in it will want to do well and are looking forward to that. England are playing well at the moment and it is going to be a bit different from last year when England were probably a little bit on the backfoot. "They have played some good games and we have a pretty good side as well. Hopefully, we will have a good match," Dravid pointed out.
