Joe Root returned to form with a terrific century in the first innings at Lord’s. He looked good in the second innings as well in his 40-run knock. Root has 3,099 runs against India in the longer format at an average of 57.38.
KL Rahul has been solid at the top of the order in this series. He has amassed 375 runs in six innings with two centuries and a half-century. In the previous game, he made 100 and 39 on a tricky pitch.
Old Trafford in Manchester has historically been a good venue for batting with good pace and bounce on offer. Spinners should come into play more on the last two days of the match. The average first innings score at this venue stands at 331, and goes down to 275 for the second innings.

Following a heavy defeat at Edgbaston, England clinched a thrilling victory at Lord’s by a narrow margin of 22 runs. Batting first, England posted 387 on the back of a magnificent century by Joe Root, and fifties from Jamie Smith and Brydon Carse.
After the scores were levelled in the first innings, the hosts were bowled out for just 192. Defending that total, their bowlers did an excellent job. Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer bagged three wickets each while Brydon Carse picked up two scalps.
