ENG vs IND Weather and Pitch Report
Pitch Report
The Lord’s pitch for the upcoming Test is expected to be a green, lively surface that will favor bowlers, especially seamers. With thick grass cover and a well-watered base, it promises early movement and a serious challenge for batters throughout the match. The famous Lord’s slope further complicates batting, causing the ball to move differently from each end.
Historically, first and second innings scores at Lord’s have been modest, reinforcing its bowler-friendly nature early on. However, batters who adjust well—playing late and staying patient—can still score big as the ball softens and the outfield quickens. The toss will play a key role here on this pitch, with the balanced surface and no clear indication of what will come as a clear advantage to the batting or bowling first over the years. So the captain must carefully read the conditions as the green pitch and slope offers both challenge and opportunity.
