Wooooww!!! What a responsible batting! England lost their seventh wicket by 271 runs. I thought England would score a maximum of 320. But England did not lose any more wickets till lunch break and scored 353 runs. England scored 353 runs in 105 overs.
Jamie Smith scored 51 not out from 53 balls and Brydon Carse scored 33 not out from 62 balls. I am surprised to see Brydon Carse batting. Brydon Carse is playing well against experienced Indian bowlers.

The average score in the first innings on this Lord's pitch is probably 309 runs. If England can somehow score 400+, it will be a good score. Even though Indian batsmen are in good form, it is quite difficult to score 400+ on this pitch

Joe Root opened the game today and he was out right after completing his century. Right now, the main motive of the remaining batsmen is to make as many runs as possible.
Already, England have lost their seven main wickets in which Pope, Duckett, Harry Brook and Ben Stokes are included. But this time I think England could be more powerful as Jofra Archer is part of the playing 11 and he can take multiple wickets and also it would be new for the India batsmen as there are not many experienced players in the team like Kohli or Rohit Jaiswal. Most of the players did not face him ever in their career, while Shubman Gill would also be new for him.

Joe Root managed to collect 100+. At the same time, if experienced batsmen like Harry Brook and Ben Duckket could have collected more than 400, England could have collected more than 400. Even then, due to the 50+ innings of Smith and Carse, England was able to collect 387 runs in the end.

India has lost wickets quite quickly. But the team is still in a good position. India's innings will depend on the first session of the upcoming cup. If India does not lose any wickets in the first 10 overs, then India may be able to take the lead. The Indian team will be able to collect close to 400. But if India stumbles early in the day, then it may not be possible for India to collect 350+.
This match will not be one-sided like the second match, that is for sure. Both have the possibility of winning
