India, on the other hand, played brilliant cricket on the 5th day of the Lord’s Test, where tail-enders played a major role in the win. Everyone contributed greatly, and as a result, the visitors broke through to England’s Fort, Lord’s, to go 1–0 up in the series for the third time. Virat Kohli and his boys are all set to maintain the same intensity on the field in the third Test as well.
Pitch Report
While most surfaces in England are lean seamer-friendly, suspect it will not have much momentum. On the other hand, there is not much grass on the pitch, initially, the batsmen can trouble the bowlers a bit at the start of the match and by day two and a half, the pitch will start making a comeback for the bowlers and the fast bowlers. Spinners can also get wickets.
