In a highly anticipated showdown at the historic Lord's cricket ground, England's skipper Ben Stokes won the toss and chose to bat first against India in the third Test match. The decision comes as England aims to benefit from early-playing conditions, with the country's cricketers fully prepared for the home challenge.
Team India, led by captain Shubman Gill, arrives with confidence bolstered by their recent successes. Notably, India's previous performances at Lord's have been commendable, having secured victory in two of their last three outings. Key players like Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep were pivotal in recent matches, showcasing exceptional skill in both bowling and batting.
As the competitors face off once again, the atmosphere is tense. With England historically dominating at Lord's, capturing 12 wins from 19 encounters, India is looking to disrupt the status quo. The inclusion of star player Jasprit Bumrah could prove to be a game-changer for the tourists as they aim to continue their winning momentum.
