Here are some of the best bets for this England vs India 3rd Test match.
Shubman Gill has been magnificent in the series so far. He has piled on 584 runs in two matches, including three triple-digit scores. He was at his best in the previous game, scoring 269 and 161 in two innings.
Jamie Smith has scored 356 runs in the series from four innings. He made a couple of 40s in the first game and followed it up with 184 not out & 88 in the second. He has a solid technique and doesn’t have to face the new ball.
Jasprit Bumrah, who picked five wickets in the first innings at Headingley, will be back after resting. He has picked up 78 wickets in 15 Tests since last year at an incredible average of 15.80. He should pose a huge threat to England on the Lord’s pitch.
Lord’s is a venue where seamers thrive in the longer format. The pitch is expected to have more life in it compared to the pitches in the first two games of this series. The average first and second innings score at this ground in Tests stands at 309 and 298, respectively.
ALSO READ:
The two rivals have played 137 Tests against each other, with England holding an edge. They have been victorious on 52 occasions while India have claimed 36 games. Since 2018, England lead by 7-4 in matches played in their backyard.
After winning the series opener, the Ben Stokes-led side was obliterated by India in the second Test at Edgbaston. England lost by 336 runs in what was a pretty disappointing effort with both bat and ball.
England had reduced the visitors to 211/5 but ended up conceding a mammoth 587. In response, their top order collapsed, losing 5 for 84. Harry Brook (158) and Jamie Smith (184*) added a 303-run partnership, and it was the only period they dominated. Having been given a target of 608, England were bowled out for 271.
The home side has made just one change to the side with Jofra Archer replacing Josh Tongue.
Possible XI: Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Jamie Smith (wk), Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Shoaib Bashir.

Shubman Gill showed remarkable character to lead India to their first ever victory at Edgbaston. Batting first, he scored a flawless 269 to power the team to a strong total. After taking a 180-run lead, Gill hammered 161 in the second innings to set the hosts an insurmountable target.
India’s Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj were sensational with the ball on a flat pitch. Akash Deep claimed 10 wickets across two innings while Siraj bagged seven.
India will have Jasprit Bumrah back in the side for this game, with Prasidh Krishna making a way. Karun Nair could also be dropped with Sai Sudharsan taking the number three spot.
