England v India on TV 2025: 5th Test schedule, coverage and live stream
Your complete guide on how to watch the England v India Test series, featuring TV schedule, times and more.
England couldn't quite wrap up a Test series win in the recently concluded fourth test against India at Old Trafford – with the visitors digging in to secure a draw.
But the result still puts England in a strong position going into this week's deciding test at The Oval, with the home side remaining 2-1 up and needing only to avoid defeat to secure the series – with an overall loss now also out of the question.
Captain Ben Stokes struggled with injury throughout the match at Old Trafford, but has said that it is "very unlikely" that he will miss the final test as a result. Given his impressive form throughout the series, that will come as very welcome news for fans.
In Manchester, Stokes became only the fourth English player in history to both take a five-wicket haul and score a century in the same Test, and so if he manages to take this form into the decider it certainly bodes well.
Meanwhile, India have a few injury woes of their own to contend with. Wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant has been ruled out with a foot injury, while it remains to be seen if star bowler Jasprit Bumrah will be fit enough to play, having already played three tests despite struggling with a back injury earlier in the year.
There's a relatively quick turnaround between the tests, and so it's already time to turn our eyes towards The Oval as we await the all-important decider.
