India Faces England in Crucial Test at Old Trafford
In a cricket match between India and England, India's player, Yashasvi Jaiswal, had his bat break!
The match is in Manchester, where India has never won a test.
India's captain, Shubman Gill, made some changes to the team, and the England captain chose to bowl first.
Some experts are saying that India needs to play well from the start.
Another expert thinks the captain could have backed a player named Karun Nair.
With England leading the series, India has a tough task ahead to level it.
Yashasvi Jaiswal's bat handle snapped during the fourth Test against England.
India made three changes to their team for the fourth Test, including Sai Sudharsan replacing Karun Nair.
England won the toss and chose to bowl first under overcast conditions at Old Trafford.
