TEAMS PREVIEW
England Preview
England head into the new World Test Championship cycle with fresh energy. They had their moments in the last one, but overall, the team underperformed by their own standards.
A home series is always a good place to reset. This group looks confident, especially with a batting order that seems ready to dominate.
Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett will try to go after the Indian bowlers early. Both are known for aggressive starts, and that could put pressure on the visitors straight away.
Joe Root will be the anchor in the middle. He has scored 1574 runs against India in just 15 home Tests at an average close to 75, so a solid performance from him is expected.
Harry Brook is another batter to watch. He has already hit eight hundreds and 11 fifties in 25 Tests, and will play an important role in this series.
Their bowling does look a bit light, but Brydon Carse has impressed with 27 wickets at 19.85 from five Tests since early 2024. He will support Chris Woakes, who brings experience to the attack.
Josh Tongue and Sam Cook could find it tough going against a deep Indian lineup due to their limited experience, but Shoaib Bashir is in rhythm and should be able to keep things tight at his end.
England Predicted Playing XI:
Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Jamie Smith (wk), Chris Woakes, Josh Tongue, Brydon Carse, Shoaib Bashir

India Preview
The touring Indian squad has a new look this time, and there’s some uncertainty around how they settle on the batting order and pick the right mix of players for the conditions.
That said, this group does carry a lot of promise. At the top, Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul form a strong opening pair, with both players capable of putting up big numbers. Yashasvi, in particular, should be confident after scoring over 700 runs against England in their last visit to India.
Karun Nair is back after a solid County stint, and he joins new skipper Shubman Gill, who will be expected to guide the team through the middle overs.
Rishabh Pant is the unpredictable piece in the puzzle. On his day, he can tear through any bowling lineup, but his aggressive style often brings quick dismissals.
The bowling unit brings more strength to this team. Jasprit Bumrah will lead the attack, with Mohammed Siraj expected to work in tandem and apply pressure on a strong English top order. Prasidh Krishna adds some spice to the pace mix. His bounce and seam movement make him well-suited for these pitches.
Shardul Thakur and Ravindra Jadeja round out the bowling options. How useful they turn out to be may depend entirely on how the pitch behaves.
India Predicted Playing XI:

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Overcast skies and a fresh breeze often bring swing into play early on at Headingley, making life tricky for openers. Seamers who stay patient around the fourth stump tend to get results. The pitch can flatten out by day two and three, giving batters a better chance to build. Spinners usually come in late, especially if the surface dries out.
The weather in Headingley will be mainly cloudy and warm for the first three days, followed by two days of proper sunshine.

Average Turn
Teams batting first at Headingley tend to score around 304 on average. The team starting on day one will need to tread carefully early on, as the new ball can cause problems. But if that period is managed well, reaching 350 or more is a real possibility. Since batting last can be difficult on this surface, putting up a strong total in the first innings will matter.
Total Over/Under Betting Tips
The average total match score at Headingley, Leeds, is 1008 runs. It is considered a moderately scoring ground, offering a fair balance between bat and ball. The average first innings score is 310 runs, and this average is observed to decrease by 50 runs per innings as the match progresses. Both teams boast strong bowling lineups, and we predict an even contest with the total match score to be under 1116 runs.
We back the visitors India to win the coin toss against England in the 1st Test match at Leeds.
Toss: To Bowl
Captains winning the toss often lean toward bowling first when conditions look helpful at Headingley.
ENG vs IND
Winning Prediction
Both sides have plenty at stake in this Test, as a strong start could shape the rest of their summer. India’s squad has plenty of new faces, and they’ll take time to figure out the right mix. Most of their players haven’t had much time to adjust to local conditions, which makes this opener a tough one, no matter the talent on paper. England have looked confident at home with their aggressive style under Bazball, and they look better prepared heading in. For India to compete, their fast bowlers will need to do something out of the ordinary to slow down England’s batting lineup. If that doesn’t happen, it’s hard to see England slipping here.
England are favorites to emerge as the winners of this match.
