IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 5: All eyes will be on Jasprit Bumrah in the first half an hour as the overcast conditions will help him make life difficult for the English batters. India need early wickets to strengthen their position otherwise England will take the game away from them in no time.

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 5: The covers are coming off - a big update from Headingly Leeds as the sun is out. We might expect to play to start at the scheduled time. 

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 5: On the other side, the experience, quality, and clutch that is offered by Joe Root and Ben Stokes means they will be the key men India are antsy to get out early. They will remember Root's innings from Edgbaston 2022, and Stokes from Headingley 2019: they are the key men.

But surrounding them is plenty of quality, with Pope and Brook scoring well in the first innings, and Duckett and Crawley capable of giving an electric platform. England won't be daunted at the start of their chase today, that is for certain.

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 5: Why the conditions will be good news is because it brings Siraj and Shardul into major consideration as wicket-taking choices for Gill, meaning he can afford for Bumrah to have shorter, sharper spells multiple times through the day. It might also add a dimension to Ravindra Jadeja with any dampness in the pitch. Keep an eye on the weather.

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 5: Gloomy skies and a light drizzle has begun in Leeds. However, it's positive news: an on-time start is expected for day 5, according to our man at the venue reports. Covers going on as well just as a precaution to ensure that happens.

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 5: The anticipation is seriously beginning to build now. There are so many different avenues this match could take, so many different ways to reach its final destination. It is rare and special to have a mach in such a position, maintaining its tension and balance every single day. A pleasure to be along for the ride.

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 5: Such is the form and quality that Jasprit Bumrah has shown in recent matches, he is essentially a one-man instrument of mass destruction at the deployment of his captain. His back-breaking effort Test after Test is a sign of concern, certainly, but in situations such as these, he is worth his weight in gold to India. 

Equally, he will be the one player who will make England just breathe that much shallower: how the batters can handle themselves against him, particularly Joe Root and Harry Brook, will determine the outcome of this match.

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 5: Rain will play a role in the morning in Leeds, meaning a damp start, and maybe some interruptions. However, the weather is expected to stay clear through the afternoon onwards, providing a grand finale to this match. Fans will be hoping day 5 isn't truncated too much — but Bumrah, Siraj and co. watch on with interest.

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 5: That's a really tough question to try and answer, isn't it? India have had the best individual performances this match, but haven't taken their chances with bat or ball, and England have just had enough players chipping in in all phases that they have managed to stay neck-and-neck. Two very different forms of excellence, and it's tough to say which will shake out at the end. Is there enough brilliance still in the tank for India to make the difference or will England's steady string of consistency bring them joy at the end of the evening instead?

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 5: This match has played host to an excellent Test pitch, as the game-state heading into Day 5 can attest to. But at the same time, it has still been a batting-friendly surface, which means bowlers really need to toil to even create half-openings.

However, there were better signs for bowlers on Day 4, with uneven bounce entering the picture and lateral movement off the pitch. KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant were just spectacular in countering it. And England have their own batters of that calibre to do so for sure.

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 5: All three results remain on the table, including a draw, but this won't be one of those that is almost pre-decided and just winds down towards the end of the day. 

England will at the very least push it close with their deep batting order. They are not the kind of team to go into a shell if things start looking a little tricky, so they will push for a win even if they find themselves in a position where others might accept a draw. A mentality that opens a window for India as well.

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 5: Meanwhile, India's aim will be to snap up 10 wickets, which owuld have seemed tougher even just 2 days ago. But with the pitch degrading and England managing 8 wickets on day 4, there is hope for India that they can manufacture enough from the surface throughout the day to give themselves a solid block of chances to take those scalps.

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 5: England ensured their target was within plausible bounds by bowling out India's tail extremely cheaply for the second time in this match — something which across that match might have saved a solid 60-70 runs on their target. What that means is that they are left with 350 to win after being 21/0 overnight. That's a stiff task, but with Bazball's central thesis, England are still threatening heavily…

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 5: There is plenty of excitement in the air, and so much to talk about as we get things going for the final day of this first Test match at Headingley. As we get further and further into the day, that tension and drama will only grow. Stick along for the ride!
