England won the toss and decided to field in the last Test match of the series. England got off to a good start. India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal and Kl Rahul for just 38 runs. Jaiswal scored just 2 and Rahul returned to the dressing room with 18 runs.

The decision to field was a good one after winning the toss. This pitch at Oval cannot be called batting friendly. It is quite difficult to collect 350+ on this pitch. If England's bowlers can bowl in a controlled manner, it will not be possible for India to collect a big total. The possibility of this match being drawn like the last match is very low.
