On the first day of the third Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy in London, Team India put up a decent show with the ball. Talking about England, they will be relieved as they still have the chance of posting a fine total on the board. Joe Root has done a fine job with his bat so far as he scored his 67th Test fifty. The veteran showcased his batting mettle at the time when England lost their openers Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley at a score of 43. However, Root didn’t lose hope and built a 109-run stand with Ollie Pope, who chipped in with his 44 off 104.
However, India made a comeback in the match as Ravindra Jadeja removed Pope from the crease. Harry Brook, who scored a hundred in the previous game, failed to tackle Jasprit Bumrah, who cleaned up the youngster. After the first day’s play, Root, who is on 99*, along with his skipper Ben Stokes, is at the crease and both veterans will look to become a threat for India.
ENG vs IND 3rd Test: Weather is expected to be humid and warm in London on second day
Discussing the weather for day two of the Lord’s Test in London, it’s highly likely to be humid and warm with 20% chances of precipitation at 5 o'clock in the evening. If the weather prediction turns out to be true, the game may be stopped in the final hour of the match as rain might intervene.
However, amidst these forecasts, both teams will look to play quality cricket on the second day. India will strive to bundle out England as soon as possible while the hosts’ endeavours will be to post a massive total on the board.
