That was after England had posted 669 in their reply to India’s first innings total of 368.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h2>England vs India: Cricket Fifth Test Betting Preview</h2> <p>The Test Series is firmly poised, with the hosts holding a 2-1 lead. They won the first Test before India drew back, before taking the third to put them in the driving seat.</p> <p>They would have felt they were in a commanding position to make it 3-1 in Manchester at Old Trafford, especially as they had key performances from openers <strong>Zak Crawley</strong> (84) and <strong>Ben Duckett</strong> (94) for a stand of 166, before centuries from <strong>Joe Root</strong> (150) and <strong>Ben Stokes </strong>(141) helped propel them to 669. Add in the early bowling display from Woakes, and they looked positioned to get the win.</p> <p>However, India’s middle order had other ideas, as three centurions put the brakes on and claimed a valuable draw for India.</p> <p>How does The Oval play into this upcoming fifth and final Test?
