The first batch of the Indian Test contingent had reached the UK last week and underwent their first training session. Rahul Dravid, Shreyas Iyer, and Rishabh Pant left for the UK on Monday after the series against South Africa got over.

India are currently leading the five-match Test series 2-1 and the side would look to win the rescheduled Test to win their first series in England since 2007 which co-incidentally had come under the leadership of Rahul Dravid.

The fifth Test was rescheduled after a string of positive COVID-19 cases within the Indian camp last year.
