Highlights
- Third Test between India and England is to be played from July 10
- Jasprit Bumrah’s return fixed in Lord’s
- Expectation of change in batting order is very low
The third Test of the five -match Test series between India and England is to be played from 10 July at the prestigious Lord’s ground. India won the second Test and kept the series alive. England would not have expected such a demonstration from India. After winning the second Test, India will now want to take an edge in the series by winning the Lord’s.
In this match, veteran fast bowler Jaspreet Bumrah is scheduled to return, who was rested in the second match. He may get a chance to replace Mohammad Siraj in Lord’s. Siraj has so far thrown more than 70 overs in two Tests and has nine wickets in his account.
No change in batting order
Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant have scored a lot of runs for the team in the first two matches. In such a situation, there is little hope of any change in the batting order of the team. Of course Karun Nair has not scored much runs for the team, but he is seen in good touch during batting at the crease.
Apart from this, Nitish Kumar Reddy is one of the players who had no contribution in the Edgbaston Test. But still the team can retain them in view of their ability.
England asked for bouncy wickets for Lord’s
It seems that England could not digest the defeat in the second Test against India in Edgbaston. This is the reason why the team’s head coach Brendon McCullum has asked for more bounce wickets than the curator of Lord’s. For this match, the hosts have included Gas Atkinson in the team and there are indications that Jofra Archer will play his first Test in four years.
India’s possible playing XI for Lords: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Karun Nair, Shubman Gill (captain), Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Akashdeep Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Jaspreet Bumrah.
