The home team is already grappling with a string of injuries to their pacers. Already Jofra Archer, Stuart Broad and Chris Woakes are ruled out of the Test series due to their respective injury concerns and another injury to Wood would be a serious concern for the team.



It is noteworthy that all-rounder Ben Stokes is also on a break and has left no indications about his return. Moreover, England head coach Chris Silverwood has stated that the management will not force the all-rounder to cut short his break and continue with the test team.

"The medics are working on him (Wood), we'll find out more in the next couple of days," England coach Chris Silverwood said Tuesday.



"We will make a decision, along with him and our medics, closer to the time. But if he's not right, he's not right. I certainly won't push him into playing if he tells me he's not right. I will look after him."



Wood while fielding on day four of the second test match hurt his right shoulder following which the pacer was in extreme pain. The injury was triggered and aggravated when he resumed bowling on the fifth day. All these development makes England pacer Mark Wood doubtful for the upcoming test matches.



The third test match between India and England will begin on 25th August at Headingley Leeds. It is important to note that England has not revealed its team for the upcoming test matches. The team announced earlier was for only the first two test matches.

ENGvsIND: England pacer Mark Wood doubtful for third test owing to shoulder injury

With the visitors winning the second test match at the ?Mecca? of cricket, ?Lords?, all eyes were set on how India performs in the upcoming test match. Turns out the squad has had a tough time getting through the English bowlers. India was bowled out for 78 runs itself in their first innings of the 3rd&nbsp;test. It was an absolutely clinical performance by the English pacers, which was hard to bear for the Indians. The pain was then piled on by the English openers who went on to score 130 glorious runs at the end of the day?s play. Here?s a look at how the day panned out: -&nbsp;



<h2>1st&nbsp;session: -&nbsp;</h2>



The entire day belonged to England and so did the first session. In the first over of the innings itself, KL Rahul nicked the ball through to the keeper. It was off Jimmy Anderson and Jos Butler to a comfortable catch. Next in was Pujara. Pujara had a stage set but again failed to make a mark scoring 1 run of 9 balls. When Pujara went off similarly as Rahul, the scorecard read 2-2. King Kohli walked in, but much to the dismay of Indian fans Kohli too departed! Next in was Jinx, the deputy captain. Having shown some form in the previous innings, the fans expected Rohit and Jinx, the Mumbai duo to fire. But it was not the case. Ajinkya tried to build the partnership, not before Ollie Robinson took him out! Lunch was called at Rahane?s wicket.?



<h2>2nd&nbsp;session: -&nbsp;</h2>



The second session too was bossed by the Brits. At the very beginning of the session, Ollie Robinson took the wicket of the last recognized batsman Rishabh Pant. Rishabh was caught in the slips slashing hard to a ball outside off stump. His game mindset was questioned after it was seen that Rishabh had thrown his wicket away. Next in was Sir Jadeja. But by then the tide was over the head. Before Jadeja could find the very middle of the bat, England struck the final nail in the coffin. Rohit Sharma, the resilient opener was sent back. And then, the 37th?and 38th?over derailed the entire Indian innings. Sam Curran and Craig Overton cleaned up the Indian tail within a matter of the above-mentioned overs. 78 all out!! It was hard to believe but this had happened.? English openers then came in to bat.??



The English openers boosted with confidence showed intent and application right from the front. They were helped a bit by the Indian Bowlers spraying the ball around but it doesn?t overshadow the fact that they played very well.??

<h2>3rd&nbsp;session: -&nbsp;</h2>



The 3rd?session belonged to the English openers. Burns and Hameed were at their A-game. They very well tackled the Indian quadrat. Be it Siraj, Shami,?Bumrah,?or Ishant, the openers played well. The illustrious cover drives were a treat to watch. Rory Burns was initially aggressive but then turned passive. With this, the day ended with England on 120-0. How the Indian Bowlers are going to make a comeback today is the big question? But with the kind of character that Indians have shown in recent times, I?m sure they?ll bounce back!!?

The SRH vs MI match on April 23, 2025, at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium is crucial for both teams, especially for Mumbai Indians, who are closer to qualifying for the playoffs with four wins so far. Sunrisers Hyderabad, with only two wins, are on the verge of elimination and must win all remaining matches to stay in contention. The pitch heavily favors batsmen, making it a high-scoring ground, and the team batting first has a 60% win rate. Mumbai holds the upper hand in head-to-head records, winning 13 out of 23 matches. However, SRH’s home advantage and aggressive batters like Travis Head and Abhishek Sharma could still turn the game around.
