England will take on New Zealand in the final test match of the three match series, to be played at the Yorkshire Cricket Ground in Leeds England at 3:30 PM IST.
Both the teams will have a lot to play for. The Yorkshire pitch is expected to do a lot with the new ball and as the ball gets older the bowlers might struggle a bit to pick up wickets. The challenge for them will be to pick up quick wickets, not forgetting the pitch is a batting paradise on the first day; generally expected to assist in swing with the new ball and turn around only by the fourth and the fifth day of the test match.
This is going to be a nerve-wrecking clash to watch, with some top notch players taking the field to create a cricket feast. So buckle up and get ready to enjoy an exceptional test match.
