England: Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Jamie Smith (wk), Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Shoaib Bashir.

Lord’s Cricket Ground generally produces pitches with good movement for bowlers. But the pitches have been flatter under the current England regime. Expect decent assistance for bowlers on the first couple of days.
The weather in London should be mainly clear on all five days of this fixture with occasional clouds. The chance of precipitation is predicted to be under 5%.

India have dominated the proceedings for the most part of these first two Tests. They have found their best bowling attack and it could pose some serious problems to a vulnerable English batting unit at Lord’s.
