Lord's Cricket Ground Pitch Report
The surface at the iconic Lord's cricket ground has traditionally been favourable to both batters and bowlers. There will be a hint of movement off the pitch early on, which the seamers can exploit. But the pitch will flatten and turn into a batting beauty with the game's progression. Spinners will come into play, with the track offering enough turn on the last two days.
London Weather Forecast
Although cricket fans across the globe are awaiting for this exciting contest, bad weather might spoil their party. This game might be affected by inclement weather, as Accuweather predicts rain and scattered thunderstorms across all days, barring Friday. So, we might witness a rain-curtailed contest at Lord's.
