The third Test of five-match series between England and India will begin at Trent Bridge in Nottingham.
England has already taken a lead of 2-0 and will seek to seal the series here in Trent Bridge. For England, top order batsmen's form is a concern as both the openers haven't scored a fifty-plus score yet and their bowling have been excellent in this series so far. On the other hand, India fell flat in the Lord's Test match after a good performance in Edgbaston.
Except for Virat Kohli, no other Indian batsman could put up a fight against England's top quality swing and seam bowling. And to stay alive in the series both Indian batsmen and bowlers have to play some exceptional cricket.
