Preview

Hello and welcome to another of the England vs India Test Series and this is the 3rd match of this series and all set to take off today at 3:30 PM IST. England is again battling injury concerns as one of their main fast bowlers, Mark Wood has been ruled out of the third Test. David Malan is back on the national team. England is all set to try the new opening pair at Headingley.

India, on the other hand, played brilliant cricket on the 5th day of the Lord’s Test, where tail-enders played a major role in the win. Everyone contributed greatly, and as a result, the visitors broke through to England’s Fort, Lord’s, to go 1–0 up in the series for the third time. Virat Kohli and his boys are all set to maintain the same intensity on the field in the third Test as well.

Pitch Report

While most surfaces in England are lean seamer-friendly, suspect it will not have much momentum. On the other hand, there is not much grass on the pitch, initially, the batsmen can trouble the bowlers a bit at the start of the match and by day two and a half, the pitch will start making a comeback for the bowlers and the fast bowlers. Spinners can also get wickets.
