ENG vs IND: India had a spectacular performance at Edgbaston, which led them to rewrite history, and Shubman Gill became the first Asian captain to win an Edgbaston test. Now India will bring back their biggest match winner, Jasprit Bumrah for the Lord’s test.
The action for the third game will start at 3:30 PM IST between July 10 and 14. England are also adding their premium pacer Jofra Archer to the scheme of things, which will make this game spicier. India have been very consistent throughout, but some errors cost them a win in the first game.
They came more prepared for the second game and outplayed the hosts in all departments. England need to change their approach a bit, and they might also make some changes to their squad. The game is played at a historic venue, and we are in for another five days of intense cricket between two cricketing giants.

ENG vs IND: Weather Report
As seen in the pictures of the surface for the game, it is a green top, which is likely to assist the fast bowlers. The fast bowlers might get pace and movement, and it might be consistent throughout the game. Batting on the last two days will be tougher, and chasing can be a challenge. Hence, batting first can be a good call at the toss.
ENG vs IND: Predicted XIs:

ENG vs IND: Dream11 Team
· Wicket-keepers: Rishabh Pant, Jamie Smith
· Batters: Shubman Gill (Captain), Joe Root (Vice captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Ben Duckett, Harry Brook
· All-rounder: Ravindra Jadeja
· Bowlers: Jofra Archer, Jasprit Bumrah
Dream11 Prediction: England have been poor with the ball in both games, while India won the second game without Jasprit Bumrah. That says a lot about the two bowling lineups. Meanwhile, the form of Shubman Gill is the biggest factor for India. If India can keep on doing what they have done so far, they have a great chance.
England need some change of plans. They might swap their complete pace attack for the third game and bring in more all-rounders. But the approach of England sometimes works against them. That is why we believe India are favorites to win the third test.
