Following a dramatic victory in the second match at the Lord's Cricket Ground, India would be very confident and upbeat as they head into the third Test match against England on August 25, Wednesday. The match would be played at the Headingley Cricket Ground in Leeds and is scheduled to start at 03:30 pm IST (Indian Standard Time). India, already with a 1-0 series lead can be considered favourites ahead of the match. From what looked like an inevitable defeat, Virat Kohli and his team turned things around dramatically on the final day to walk out with a victory. The early wickets and Rishabh Pant and Ishant Sharma did peg the Indians back on the fifth day. But what followed next was something that the English team just weren't prepared for. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami joined forces in the middle and took the attack to the opposition. The duo freely played their shots, unleashing some powerful hits and ended up putting together an unbeaten stand of 89 runs, which eventually was the difference-maker.India Likely Playing XI for 3rd Test vs England: Probable Indian Cricket Team Line-Up for Cricket Match At Headingley 

With the ball in hand. Bumrah and Shami once again wreaked havoc before Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Siraj joined the party. KL Rahul's classy hundred in the first innings along with a solid performance by the batting unit, was what set the tone for the memorable win. For England, Dawid Malan is expected to feature in their top-order. Also in Mark Wood's absence, Saqib Mahmood is expected to make his Test debut in a bowling lineup led by the experienced James Anderson. India, despite having a winning combination, might include Ravichandran Ashwin to give him his first Test match of the series. Fast bowler Shardul Thakur is also fit and available for selection after missing the second Test match.England Likely Playing XI for 3rd Test vs India: Probable England Cricket Team Line-Up for Cricket Match At Headingley
