Green pitch in offing in Lords, the role of spinners may be less

Therefore, it is only natural that the pitch has become the center of focus for England, after the hosts losing to India in Edgbaston by a large margin of 336 runs. So much so that, even coach Brendon McCullum had to request Lord’s Curator to prepare a wicket that would suit his pacers, and would bowl normally. But then, certainly nothing can be said, with just a few days for the introduction of the third IN ING test.

In response, England scored 391 runs, and then India replied with 298 in the third innings. Post that, the hosts were excluded for 120.
