IND vs ENG Lord’s London, Weather Forecast, Pitch Report, Head-to-Head record, venue record, and key stats
India will cross swords against England in the second ODI at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground on Thursday, July 14. The Indian side was too hot to handle in the first ODI as England faced a thumping defeat by 10 wickets.
Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bowl first on a green pitch at Oval. Indian pacers ran riot over the opposition batters as the trio of Jasprit Bumrah (6/19), Mohammed Shami (3/31) and Prasidh Krishna (1/26) bowled out England for mere 110 runs. In response, the experienced opening pair of Rohit Sharma (76*) and Shikhar Dhawan (31*) stitched together a 114-run opening stand to take India comfortably over the line.
England were absolutely baffled by a strong Indian performance. Captain Jos Butler was the only batter who could spend some time on the crease. England’s test heroes Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, and Ben Stokes perished on the Oval pitch. The Englishmen will now want to work as a unit and mark a strong comeback at the Lord’s stadium on Thursday.

Pitch Report
The Lord’s pitches are lively because it usually has patches of grass on it. The pace and bounce on the pitches are more predictable and do not vary much. Batters can trust the pitch and will get value for their shots as the outfield is quite quick. The bowlers, on the other hand, will strive to establish their supremacy by taking advantage of the bounce and swing that this venue provides. There won’t be much in it for the spinners.
