England and India will feature in the third Test of the five-match Test series starting August 25 at Headingley in Leeds. India claimed an emphatic win in the second Test to take an early 1-0 lead in the series. The hosts will have a lot to ponder coming into the third Test after their batting debacle at Lord's saw them face an embarrassing defeat. On the other hand, Team India will be keen to continue their winning momentum and take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series.

However, the weather for the upcoming five days at Headingley in Leeds promises to be more suitable for cricket action to continue without much interruption.
