The gripping first Test between India and England at the Headingley Cricket Ground, Leeds is set for a thrilling finish on Day 5, with all outcomes still on the table.
After an intense Day 4, both KL Rahul and Josh Tongue addressed the media, reaffirming that their sides will push for victory. With crucial World Test Championship points at stake, neither team is looking to settle for a draw. However, weather could be a major hurdle on the final day.
High chances of rain on Day 5
Forecasts for Tuesday, 24 June, suggest a high chance of rain throughout the day in Headingley. The UK Met Office predicts an 84% chance of precipitation, with the heaviest showers expected around noon local time (6:30 PM IST). Light rain is forecast to transition into sunny intervals by early evening, meaning weather interruptions are likely.
Conditions are expected to fluctuate, with the sun making brief appearances amid overcast skies, potentially making batting tricky. Though Day 4 saw heavy cloud cover without rain, Day 5 may not be as fortunate.
Any long delay due to weather could diminish the chances of a result. As the match stands, England need 350 runs to win with all ten wickets in hand, while India require ten wickets to go 1-0 up in the five-match series.
