The free scoring run fest of the first two matches was succeeded by a much cagier affair at the home of cricket, with England eventually getting home by the skin of their teeth by a margin of just 22 runs. Monumental spells from talismanic Ben Stokes and comeback king Jofra Archer helped prevent the touring batters from chasing down the modest 193 target, and they'll want to wrap up the series at a ground this week where they've only lost a Test once in the last two decades.

India will feel rocked by their inability to get over the line in London, despite seeming to win most sessions in the match. Skipper Shubman Gill may still be new to the job, but he's already shown his resilience and his job will be to lift his side. The big question mark heading into selection is whether they let the awesome Jasprit Bumrah play in back-to-back games. Surely they can't rest the world's best bowler for such a crucial match?

It's set to be another five days of intriguing, engrossing red ball cricket, so read on and we'll show you how to watch the England vs India 4th Test online from anywhere in the world today, and potentially for free.
