Lord’s Pitch Report
The surface at Lord’s has had limited use this early in the English summer. A drier spring and recent hot weather may bring spinners into play as the game progresses. Seamers will still get assistance early with the famous Lord’s slope, offering lateral movement. Batting is expected to be challenging on Days 1 and 2, but it could become easier from Day 3 if the sun stays out.
