The fourth Test between England and India starts on Wednesday (July 23) in Manchester. Find the latest weather updates ahead of day one of the match here.
India will be playing just their second Test match in Manchester in the last 35 years, having last played at Old Trafford in 2014. India have not managed to win a single Test at the venue in nine attempts, their joint-worst record at any Test venue. England, on the other hand, have won 33 and lost 15 matches this venue, the win/loss ratio of 2.20 being their second-best for any venue where they have played more than 50 Tests.
India are heading into the match with multiple injury concerns and several selection questions hanging over their heads. They'll be disappointed at trailing 1-2 leading into the fourth Test despite having dominated major parts of each of the three matches so far.

Their bid to turn things around, however, could be met with poor weather in Manchester. Rain in the lead up to the fourth Test forced teams to practice indoors and there's some forecast for showers during playing hours over the course of the next five days as well.
Earlier in the series, the Edgbaston Test was affected by rain as it gave England a lifeline by cutting a few overs off on the fifth day. Which team rain helps in Manchester, if at all it does, remains to be seen.
