The only way this test end in a draw is if their is uninterrupted rain for two days. Today is important day because today we will see winner of this test. It looks like India in good position to win this test but they must not feel relaxed and continue to put pressure on English batting lineup. India got important wicket of Ben Duckett at end of day 3 plays and they must try to get at least 2 wickets in first session today. Mohammed Siraj has done good work in first innings along with Prasidh Krishna and they must bowl well in second innings to level the series. Their is 40 to 50% chance of rain in the afternoon today at Oval.

Although the match was delayed due to rain, the chances of the match being drawn are very low. It is unlikely that it will rain for the entire two days. I have checked the weather report of the Oval. There is a slight chance of rain. However, I do not see the possibility of it raining for two consecutive days.

England lost the wicket of Zak Crawley on the first day. England lost the important wicket of Ben Duckett earlier today. Ben Duckett was out after scoring 54 runs from 83 balls. England are now at 87 runs. There are two experienced batsmen like Oliie Pope and Root at the crease. England still need to collect a big score of 287 runs to win. If the Root-Pope pair can play well and build a partnership of at least 100 runs, England have a chance of winning. But if this pair fails to do well, England will probably not win. Staying at the crease on this pitch of the Oval on the fourth and fifth days will be a big challenge for the batsmen.
