Re: Test Cricket Prediction and Discussion Thread [self - mod]
England and India will be playing the important third test match today at Lord's. With both teams winning a single test match each, this test is very crucial for both teams and the one winning this one will get an advantage and a lead in the series. I have a feeling that the team who win this test may go on to win the series too.
The way India played in the last game, I think they would be the favorite in this test. In the first test at Leeds, the Indian team lost despite having a good batting performance and in the 2nd test match at Birmingham they further strengthened their batting and won it. Interesting to see how the team bats in this test, it may end up in a thriller match

It is an important moment for the two massive bowlers to come to the Lord's. Bumrah was resting at Edgbaston but Bumrah is normal and the special thing is Jofra Archer is coming to play a test match after four years. Last time he played a test match in February of 2021 in the Ahmedabad stadium against India and now he is making his comeback at Lord's.
Let's see, I am so excited for him to see him in white again after 4 years. And in that match, he only bowled for single innings and claimed a single wicket. India won that match, but now we have to see what will happen today.
Well Jasprit Bumrah has been wickets in the morning session but Nitish Kumar Reddy got two England wickets.
Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett had some sort of the start but they both got out quickly. England would have wanted one of them to stay but now Ollie Pope and Joe Root are making a good partnership. England team need partnership, probably a one big partnership of 80 - 100 runs will help them regain their batting confidence. Losing wickets at regular intervals wouldn't help them and they will find themselves at a stage where they are short on runs. Probably they need one session without losing any wickets.
