Former India captain Rahul Dravid feels India are the favourites to win the five-match Test series against England. Dravid went on to predict the scoreline of the series as well, saying he feels India will trump it 2-1.

Speaking to BBC 5 Live Sport, he said: “I do think the Indian team has a good chance here but the key would be to take 20 wickets. I have no doubt that we will score runs at some stage but the key is to keep our fast bowlers fit. We have got a good crop of young pacers but it’s five Test matches in six weeks.

“When we won here in 2007, the same bowling lineup played in all three matches and we were lucky that nobody got injured and that made a big difference. If we get our best bowling lineup on the park for at least four of the five games, we will give ourselves a good chance.

“I have to say India, I will say India 2-1."
