Team India battle against England in the Third Test in Trent Bridge
Date and Time : 18-22 August 2018, 3:30 PM IST
Venue : Trent Bridge, Nottingham
Team India after losses in the first two Test matches will be eager to bounce back and register a win in this five match series. They were outplayed in the 2nd Test match.
The batting needs to come good and the bowlers need to keep the good work going. The conditions will once again be testing and a loss here would mean the series is over, so they will have to give their all.
On the other hand, England are in a winning situation and they need to keep the good work going. They have batted well then India and the bowlers too have taken 20 wickets.
India is again going to provide tough competition for them and it should be a good learning experience for them.
So far India and England have played 119 Tests so far. Out of that India have won 25 matches while England have won 45 matches. 49 matches have ended in a draw.
