England Cricket Board has decided to start the Test against India early
Keeping the viewership from India in mind, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has decided to start the Test against India early. Usually, Tests in England start at 11:00 AM local time, but the game against India will start at 10:30 AM local time.
In India, this match will start at 3:00 PM IST on July 1. The normal day of play will be from 3 PM to 10 PM, but the officials can increase the time to 10:30 PM if 90 overs are not completed on the day. It will be interesting to see which nation comes out on top in Birmingham.
