India grounds guide - Mumbai
Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai (Bombay)
Third Test: 18 March

Mumbai (Bombay) is regarded as India's cricket capital, and that point has been reinforced since the emergence of hometown hero Sachin Tendulkar.

England won a Test at the Wankhede in 1980 when Ian Botham produced one of the great all-round performances, with 13 wickets and a score of 114.

But since then, England have lost twice, on the 1984-85 tour and in 1993.

The wicket tends to favour swing in the morning sessions while the spinners get some help over the last two days.
