It is the final day of the first Test between England and India, and the game is very much in the balance.

The visitors have set a lofty goal of 371 and will attempt to bowl them out as quickly as possible. This is a critical day for both teams, as they have the opportunity to win and establish an early lead in the five-match series.

England hopes to set a new record in the chase, and the spectators want to watch a wonderful game of cricket. It is also critical if the weather remains clear at Headingley. Though the weather appears dicey, fans will be praying that the weather gods do not interfere with a game that is currently in an exciting situation.

The England squad must chase down 371 on the final day, which will be their most successful chase at Headingley, surpassing the legendary chase in the third Test of the 2019 Ashes. The Ben Stokes-led side will be hopeful that a deluge does not disrupt the game and that they can complete another record chase in Leeds.

A cloudy theme in Leeds.

The weather in Leeds is now overcast, with a risk of precipitation. The temperature in Leeds is 19°C, with 78% humidity. One of the game’s most significant advantages is that there is no precipitation at the venue. While indications indicate that there would be only a light rain around 6 p.m., the weather does not appear encouraging, with a sea of clouds looming over the iconic field.

These cloudy weather may also indicate that the batsmen would encounter some hurdles on the last day, with the match on the line. It is a match in which all three outcomes are possible on the final day, and the players will be hoping to make the most of it before the rain gods spoil the party.
