Manchester/IBNS: Virat Kohli-led India will be looking for the series win against England in Manchester where the fifth Test begins Friday.

Though doubt was raised over the fifth Test after a support staff of Team India tested COVID-19 positive, the match will be on as Kohli's team tested negative for coronavirus.

Earlier Indian coaches Ravi Shastri, Bharat Arun and R Sridhar had to isolate themselves after Shastri tested positive for coronavirus.

Following which, all members of Team India had to undergo the RT-PCR test.

England, who are down 1-2 to India in the series, will have to win the fifth Test to avoid series defeat.

India had won the England Test series under captain Rahul Dravid in 2007.
