Following a thrilling victory in Birmingham, India is full of confidence as they prepare for the third Test of the five-match series at Lord's, an iconic venue rich in cricket history. With a series leveled at 1-1, the match in London on July 10 looks to be an exciting one.

India has a lot of momentum going into this Test. They not only secured their first-ever Test victory in Edgbaston, but they also level the series with a convincing victory in the second Test. It was a demonstration of intent rather than merely crossing the line. The team appeared cohesive, the bowling was accurate, and the batting clicked. They will now try to maintain that pattern as Lord's is up next.

It was a run-fest in the first Test at Leeds. Both teams' batting performances were impressive. With significant knocks, India's four centurions—KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Shubman Gill—all rose to the occasion. However, Ben Duckett's outstanding 149 gave England the last word and helped them win the match.

In Edgbaston, everything changed. India was in control from the beginning. With a double century in the first innings and another hundred in the second, Shubman Gill was in outstanding form. The bowlers also played a role; Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj kept England under continual ball pressure and prevented them from settling. It was just what India needed, a resounding 336-run victory.

Will Weather Play Spoilsport In Lord's Test?

Now that the action has moved to Lord's, there has been some discussion about the weather, which makes sense given that rain fell at different times throughout the two previous Test matches. However, the outlook appears to be favorable this time. With five days of sunlight predicted, fans should expect an uninterrupted complete match. Both teams will benefit from that, particularly the quick bowlers like Jofra Archer and Jasprit Bumrah, who will seek extended stretches in favorable conditions.

Overall, it looks like Lord's will be an exciting competition. Conditions, momentum, and shape are all present; the only question now is who can make it matter.

There are no rain projections for any of the five days of the Test match, according to AccuWeather and the BBC. It is predicted that the weather will stay sunny and clear, with mild winds and constant temperatures between 30 and 31 degrees Celsius. Fans may anticipate nonstop activity and five days of top-notch cricket at the storied Lord's if these forecasts come to pass.

The green-top surface of the famous Lord's pitch may provide some inconsistent bounce. That was the focus of the most recent Test played here, the World Test Championship Final. Edges frequently died short because to the erratic bounce, which both batters and slip fielders found problematic. Fielders were compelled to stand closer as a result, but they were taken by surprise by low, sharp catches, many of which went down.
