ENG vs IND Today’s Match Details

Playing Test cricket in England is always the toughest challenge for any visiting side. Team tasted a series victory on English soil 18 years back when Rahul Dravid and his men conquered England for the very first time in 2007 with a margin of 1-0 in a three-match series. Since then, the Indian team has been in a drought. However, in their last visit, Virat Kohli and his men came close to conquering England yet again.

In the 5-match series, India was leading 2-1 up until the final Test, which was called off due to the COVID pandemic. However, when the rescheduled 5th Test happened under the leadership of Jasprit Bumrah, just before the WTC 2023 final, India lost, and the series ended in a 2-2 draw.

Meanwhile, like India, the hosts England are also going through a sort of transition phase. With the departure of the stalwart bowling duo of James Anderson and Stuart Broad, the current English pace attack looks weak, even in home conditions. With Chris Woakes being the only pacer with experience, the likes of Josh Tongue and Brydon Carse will have to step up big time to support Woakes. Despite playing at home, English bowling attack will be under a lot of pressure to support their ‘Bazball’ batting approach.

The Headingley pitch for the IND vs ENG 1st Test on June 20 is expected to offer early assistance to seamers, with a green tinge and moisture aiding swing and movement. Batting will be challenging initially, but the surface should flatten out from Day 3, allowing stroke play. Spinners may come into play late in the match if rough patches develop. On the weather front, typical English weather with clouds looming throughout the 5 days is on offer.

Venue: Headingley, Leeds
Live Streaming Details: The live TV streaming of this match will be available on Sony Ten 1, Ten 3, and Ten 4 channels. The online live streaming will take place on the JioHotstar app.
