The much-awaited Test series between England and India, named the Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy, kicks off on June 20 at Headingley, Leeds. This is not just the start of a five-match series, but also the beginning of the ICC World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle for both teams. India finished third and England fifth in the last cycle.

This match is historic for India as they begin a new journey without Test legends Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Ravichandran Ashwin, who have all retired from the format. Shubman Gill takes over the captaincy and hopes to lead India to a strong start in English conditions. Both teams are injury-free and expected to field strong XIs. For England, Ollie Pope will bat at No. 3, while Brydon Carse and Josh Tongue will lead the pace attack. 

For India, Karun Nair is likely to return to the Test side after 8 years, and Shubman Gill will bat at No. 4.  Now, let’s talk about the session timings for Day 1 of the Test:
