Headingley Test: Will rain hamper high-voltage Day 5?
24 Jun 2025


The first Test match of the England-India series is heading toward an exciting conclusion at Headingley.

The hosts need another 350 runs to win, while the visitors are eyeing 10 wickets on the final day.

However, rain could be a major factor in determining the outcome of this closely contested match.

Despite some rain interruptions on days two and three, day four was uninterrupted with a full day's play.

Here we look at the weather report.


Rain likely to interrupt the proceedings
Weather forecast


Overnight rain in Leeds has raised concerns for day five of the match.

AccuWeather predicts a 55% chance of rain at 10:00am local time, just before play is scheduled to start at 11:00am.

However, the likelihood of precipitation decreases as the day progresses. By the start of play, there's expected to be a 40% chance of rain.

Despite this, there's still a good possibility that some overs could be lost due to weather conditions throughout the afternoon hours.
