New Delhi: India will face England in the third Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Lord’s in London, starting from Thursday, July 10. The Men in Blue lost the opening Test by five wickets but made a great comeback to win the second Test match in Birmingham by 336 runs and levelled the series at 1-1.
Shubman Gill became the first batter in history to register a 250-plus and a 150-plus score in the same Test match. The Indian captain played two sensational innings, amassing 269 in the first innings before a 161-run knock in the second. His brilliant innings helped India set England a target of 608, which the hosts failed to chase and were bowled out for just 271.
India’s bowling attack looks much stronger as star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is set to return in the third Test. The inclusion of new-ball specialist Akash Deep also provides great variety to the side. Bumrah opted out of the Birmingham Test due to workload management, but Akash Deep stepped up and picked up his maiden 10-wicket haul, ensuring that Shubman Gill and Co. did not miss Bumrah.
England made just one change to their playing XI with Jofra Archer returning to the team after four years, replacing Josh Tongue. Batting for both teams is likely to remain the same unless a forced injury change occurs.

Lord’s Pitch Report
The cricket pitch at Lord’s in London is considered to be good for the fast bowlers. A green-top pitch is expected at the venue, and the pacers are expected to get extra movement from the surface. A few media reports have suggested that the hosts requested a pitch with more grass to benefit their pacers, and it will not be a batter’s paradise, unlike that of Headingley and Birmingham.
