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.

There are six sessions still left in the match and even if it rains, it will have no impact on the match. The game will have a result in any case. England has resumed the innings and has lost Ben Duckett. This is a big blow for them as he was the man in form and he made a 50 too. Ideally, he should have stayed for long, but now Ollie Pope has a big task on his hands. If England loses one or two more wickets in this session, the match will be completely under Indian control.
