Lord’s Beckons: India and England Set for Rain-Free Battle in 3rd Test
London’s rare stretch of consistent sunshine means uninterrupted play is highly likely across all five days of the Lord’s Test. With the pitch expected to remain firm and dry, it could progressively favor spinners toward the final innings—giving both sides strategic angles to consider in their team selection and approach.
India’s bowling spearhead Bumrah, returning from rest, will aim to strike early on the lively surface. Youngsters like Shubman Gill and Yashasvi Jaiswal also carry momentum from Edgbaston. England’s eyes remain on Jamie Smith, the most consistent performer so far, while hopes are pinned on Joe Root and Ben Stokes to rise to the occasion.

The psychological edge of leading 2-1 in a five-Test series adds immense pressure and opportunity for both teams.
