ENG vs IND Probable Winners:

This has been a hotly contested Test series, with power shifting from one team to the other almost daily. England hasn't looked their sharpest, but they still lead 2-1. India has had the upper hand for several days, and with a little more control, it could have been in front. The determination they demonstrated in the final two days of the previous Test should give them confidence heading into the decider. England has an advantage because it is at home and leads the series. However, India will be buoyed by their narrow escape from defeat and is expected to arrive fired up for the fifth Test. Considering the team combination, India is expected to win this match.
