IND vs ENG 4th Test: With India trailing 1-2 in the five-match series after losing the Lord's Test, pacer Jasprit Bumrah is set to play in the fourth Test, starting July 23 at Old Trafford in Manchester. India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate on Thursday said the team was in favour of playing the key pacer in the crucial encounter.
Speaking after India's only practice session at Beckenham after the Lord's loss, Doeschate said Bumrah's participation will be influenced by a number of factors.

Will Jasprit Bumrah play the 4th Test in Manchester?
- "We will take that decision in Manchester. We know we have picked him for one of the last two Tests. I think now that the series is at stake in Manchester, there will be a lean towards playing him," coach Ryan ten Doeschate said.
- "But again, we have to look at all the factors. How many days of cricket do we have to play there? What do we think is our best chance of winning that match? And then how does it match up with the Oval - the last two games have to be looked at as part of the series as a whole."

Arshdeep, who is yet to play a single match in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, suffered a cut while stopping a delivery from Sai Sudharsan on his follow-through. After the session ended, the medical team immediately conducted an examination.
India assistant coach Ryan ten Doeschate said, "When Arshdeep was bowling there, Sai got hit by a ball and tried to stop it, but he just got a cut on his hand. So we have to see how deep the cut is. The medical team has taken him to the doctor and obviously, whether he needs stitches or not will be seen in the next few days."
