England vs India live stream: how to watch the 3rd Test online and on TV, India battle back

Virat Kohli's India mounted a spectacular comeback yesterday, crushing England's hopes of an easy 3rd Test victory at Headingley. India trail the hosts by just 139 runs. Play resumes today at 11am BST (3.30pm IST). The 1st Test ended in a draw before India put on a thrilling display to take the 2nd Test at Lords. Aussie viewers can watch India vs England free with this kayo Sports 14-day trial. Handy. For everyone else? Make sure you know how to watch an India vs England 3rd Test live stream from anywhere in the world.

With England seamer Mark Wood now joining Stuart Broad, Jofra Archer and Chris Woakes on the injury list, Joe Root's side will face an uphill battle when they go head-to-head with a buoyant India in Leeds.

Virat Kohli's classy side displayed some sublime skills when they thrashed England by 151 runs at Lords last time out. The heroic efforts of batsmen Jasprit Bumrah, who put 89 runs for the ninth wicket, and Mohammed Shami deserve a special mention.

England head coach Chris Silverwood has said that his side will continue to "fight fire with fire" and try to hit back hard at India in the 3rd Test, but there's no doubt Kohli and co. have the momentum to go 2-0 up in this five-Test series.

"There has been no sense of what England are aiming for either tactically or in terms of their mentality: the performances have been a mish-mash, with a few outstanding individual displays glossing over a lot of very average cricket," noted former England captain Michael Vaughan.

Here's how to catch every wicket with an India vs England live stream, wherever you are in the world. The first ball is at 11am today.

England vs India live stream abroad using a VPN

Even if you have subscribed to the relevant India vs England Test cricket rights holders, you won't be able to use them when outside your own country. The service will know your location based on your IP address, and will automatically block your access.

A Virtual Private Network (VPN) helps you get around this obstacle. A VPN creates a private connection between your device and the internet, such that the servers and services you’re accessing aren’t aware of what you’re doing. All the information passing back and forth is entirely encrypted.

There are many VPN providers out there, with some more reliable and safe than others. As a rule, we’d suggest a paid-for service such as ExpressVPN which offers a 100 per cent risk-free money back guarantee. If you're not happy with the service any time within the first 30-days, then you can cancel with no penalties at all.
