Preview of England vs India Headingley Test

Having already taken the lead in the five-match series after winning the Lord's Test, Team India will be hoping to take 2-0 lead in the series by winning the England vs India Headingly Test.  The visiting team will welcome pacer SHardul Thakur in the team after the bowler was ruled out of the 2nd Test due to injury.

England skipper Joe Root in a press conference ahead of the England vs India 3rd test stated that England has taken some "good learning" from the defeat at Lord's last week on how to tackle Virat Kohli's Team India and are now "desperate to bounce back" at Leeds.

He further added, “I think the most important thing for us regarding the theatre and everything else surrounding the game is we've got to make sure we play the game how we want to play it and we look after it the best we can. And not get too distracted or drawn into anything that's not us. We've got to be genuine to ourselves, genuine to how we are as individuals, and collectively and be as good as we can be. Now Virat and his team will play how they play, and I just want us to go about and be the best version of ourselves”
