The third Test between India and England is set to start at Headingley in Leeds on Wednesday.
Team India registered a stunning win in the previous Test to inch ahead in the five-match series. Although Virat Kohli and co. will eye another big win, England will look to bounce back in emphatic fashion in what promises to be a cracking game of cricket in Leeds.

IND vs ENG, 3rd Test
Date and Time: 25th August 2021, at 3:30 PM IST
Venue: Headingley, Leeds
Pitch Report
A competitive track beckons at Headingley with ample help on offer for the bowlers. As is the case in most venues around the United Kingdom, the pacers should get the ball to move around, keeping the batsmen on their toes. The spinners should get some purchase of the surface as well, making for a good contest on the backend of the Test match. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss.
Today's IND vs ENG Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Jonny Bairstow: Although Jonny Bairstow has been fairly consistent with the bat, he is yet to convert his starts into big ones. With the English middle-order batter playing in front of his home crowd in Leeds, one can back Bairstow to get some runs against the Indians.
Batsmen
Virat Kohli: Much like Bairstow, Virat Kohli is also due for a big knock for the Indians. Given his ability and experience of the English conditions, Kohli should be a good addition to your IND vs ENG Dream11 fantasy team.
Joe Root: Joe Root has been sensational with the bat for England with his 180-run knock in the previous game being one for the ages. He would love to continue his fine form in the third Test as he looks to lead his side to a big win in front of his home crowd in Leeds.
All-rounder
Ravindra Jadeja: Although Ravindra Jadeja hasn't been required much with the ball in the series, his batting ability has certainly added value to the Indian unit. However, spin is expected to play a part in the second half of the Test, making Jadeja a handy option at Headingley.
Bowlers
James Anderson: James Anderson has been England's best bet on the bowling front and hasn't missed a beat with the new ball in hand. With a couple of key fast bowlers already missing out, the onus will be on Anderson to deliver the goods against Virat Kohli and co.
Mohammed Shami: Mohammed Shami's relentless accuracy and ability to pick up wickets at crucial junctures of a game makes him a must-have in your IND vs ENG Dream11 fantasy team. Adding his handy batting ability only sweetens the deal for him and his chances of accumulating a heap of points in the third Test.
