How to watch England vs India: live stream Test cricket wherever you are

What a glorious summer of cricket it's been in England, with visitors India proving fantastically entertaining adversaries. First came the Twenty20s, which India won. Then England took the ODI series. And then came the serious cricket - a glorious five match test series for the Pataudi Trophy that has swung to-and-fro and finally the way of the hosts. We can tell you how to live stream the fifth and final England vs India Test cricket from wherever you are in the world.

Of course the big story of the fifth and final test at the Oval is Alastair Cook's decision to retire from international cricket. Can he score a test century in his last ever Test match?

Despite an absolute drubbing at Trent Bridge, England had the better of things in the fourth Test on the south coast to clinch the series victory. With the top four batsmen struggling for form, it's really been a tale of England's brilliant bowling - including a resurgent 36-year-old Jimmy Anderson, youthful Sam Curran and the spin of Moeen Ali.

And that's all despite Virat Kohli's extraordinary batting. Other than Pujara, his teammates just haven't been able to back him up sufficiently. And that means an extension to the fact that India haven't won a Test series in England for over a decade. They'll be desperate to retain some pride by winning the fifth test at the Oval in South London.

It's shaping up to be an exciting final week of international test cricket in England for 2018, and you can watch England vs India wherever you are in the world with a live stream. Below we'll talk you through how you can do that on your TV or via a stream to your favourite devices.
