India v England: When is the next Test, where is the cricket match and how can I watch it?

ENGLAND's test cricket team continue their tour of the sub-continent with the third test against India, looking to win their first match of the series.

Having drawn a two-test series against Bangladesh in October, they moved on to India where they drew the first match in an entertaining game.

But last game in Visakhapatnam, they succumbed to a classic England cricket collapse to lose miserably, being bowled out in their seconds innings for a paltry 158.

But when is the next match, and where can you watch Alastair Cook's side try and get a win on the board?


When is the next India vs England Test match?

The match will start at 4am UK time and will be played at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium in Mohali, and area of the city of Chandigarh in northern India.

Played over the next five days in searing sub-Continental heat, they will be faced with another lively, spinning wicket - a staple in India.

You'd better get up early to watch the match, as it begins when most over here are in bed, and tends to finish around midday UK time.

Who will win the next test between England and India?

England are set to make three changes for the next Test against India in Mohali after conceding that youngster Ben Duckett is struggling to bridge the gap between county and Test cricket.

Cook rated Stuart Broad’s chances of being fit for Mohali as slim and that he would be a big risk to play, while Zafar Ansari suffered a back spasm as well as illness which limited his involvement in Visakhapatnam.

Chris Woakes will likely come in for Broad, while England could try and see if their stronger pace lineup is the way forward, with Jake Ball possibly in for spinner Ansari.

But if the pitch spins like they have been doing, it will be hard to look past a superb India who usually win on home soil thanks to the world's best spinner Ravi Ashwin.

What are the odds ahead of the test match?

India are of course strong favourites to win in Mohali at 8/15, while an England victory is a good price at 7/2 thanks to Sun Bets.

A draw is also 7/2 as Mohali has a knack for high scoring ties, while India skipper Virat Kohli is 11/5 to be top batsman and Ravi ASkwin 6/5 to be top bowler.
