Ind vs eng 3rd test: The third Test match between India and England will start from July 10. The match is to be played at London’s prestigious ground ‘Lords’. Where the batsmen may face a tough challenge. In fact, the host English team has demanded a pitch for the third Test, which is helpful for the fast bowlers. That is, it will not be easy for the batsmen to score runs in the next match.
What is England’s strategy?
In the last two matches played in Headingley and Edgbaston, the pitch has been favorable for batting, where the batsmen of both teams have scored a lot of runs. However, in the second Test, Indian bowlers performed brilliantly compared to England. Due to which India has registered a historic victory. Changes in England’s bowling order are possible after the defeat in Edgbaston. In which the return of Gas Atkinson and Jofra Archer is fixed. Both fast bowlers are returning to the team for a long time. Atkinson’s record in Lord’s is excellent. In such a situation, England wants to pressurize the Indian batsmen through these two bowlers. For this, there is a high speed, bounce and demand for swing pitch from them.
English team head coach Brandon McCullum said that he wants a slight speed, bounce and swing pitch from the main groundsman Carl McDermot of Lord’s. ESPNcricinfo McCullum told, ‘It will be a blockbuster in any way. I think it would be a great match if the pitch helps the fast bowlers. During this, he also cited the WTC final, in which fast bowlers from Australia and South Africa performed strongly.
England’s bets do not turn upside down
Demand for greater speed, boom and swing pitch from the host team shows that they want to keep Indian batting silent, but this claim may be upside down on them, as India have the best bowlers like Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammad Siraj and Akash Deep. This trio is capable of demolishing any batting order. According to the latest reports, Bumrah is ready to return to the next Test after resting the Edgbaston Test.
