IND vs ENG 3rd Test: What is England’s Test record at Lord’s Cricket Ground? | Cricket News
All eyes are on Lord’s as India and England get ready for the third Test of what has already been a gripping series. With the scoreline locked at 1-1, both sides know the importance of landing the next punch — and what better stage than the ‘Home of Cricket’. After England pulled off a record chase at Headingley, India responded in style with a commanding 336-run win at Edgbaston which was their first-ever Test victory at the venue. Now, the focus shifts to Lord’s, a ground rich in history and pressure, where legends are made and momentum swings hard. Adding spice to the contest is the expected return of India’s pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested for the second Test. England could also welcome back Jofra Archer, with the team management keeping a close eye on his fitness. If the Lord’s pitch offers even a bit of assistance for the quicks, fans could be in for a mouth-watering contest between two high-quality pacers.
England’s record at Lord’s includes 59 wins in 145 Tests. They’ve scored as high as 653/4 declared here (against India in 1990), but they’ve also been bundled out for just 53 (against Australia in 1888). Lord’s can be unpredictable — a fact both teams know all too well.
Poll
Who do you think will win the third Test at Lord’s?
The venue’s trademark slope, combined with typical overcast English weather, usually keeps seamers interested. But with two in-form batting units and a lot on the line, this match could swing either way. With the series delicately balanced, the Lord’s Test could well define the narrative for the remaining two matches. Expect high drama, tense passages of play, and possibly, a few twists that only Test cricket can deliver.
