In recent years, franchise tournaments have fostered a friendlier environment in international cricket, according to England's assistant coach, Marcus Trescothick. However, the intensity remains, as evident in the latest Test match at Lord's.
The encounter between India and England has featured spirited exchanges, bringing a competitive edge without straying into outright hostility. As Trescothick noted, this balance enhances the series' atmosphere.
With the third Test evenly poised, India needed 135 runs with six wickets left. England, charged by their recent bowling success, braces for the decisive final day's first hour that could determine the match's outcome.
