IND vs ENG, Headingley Weather Update: Indian cricket fans hoping for a full day of play at Headingley on Monday may see mixed conditions that are typical of an English summer. The first Test between India and England heads into Day 4 with the match finely balanced and the weather likely to play a key role. According to the forecast, Leeds will see a mix of cloud and sunshine on Monday. Short spells of rain are expected in the morning, which could cause brief interruptions during the first session. Cloud cover may remain between 70 and 80 percent through the morning but is expected to decrease gradually by the afternoon. This may help avoid the use of floodlights like on Sunday.
The forecast indicates breezy conditions throughout the day with dry spells in the later sessions. A long period of bright sunshine like Day 1 is not expected but enough clear weather could allow for a major part of the day’s play. Both teams will look to make the most of the conditions. India will aim to stretch their lead beyond 300 while England will search for early wickets. The weather may still influence the momentum, but chances of a full day’s play remain hopeful.
