After scripting a historic victory at Edgbaston, India, under the leadership of Shubman Gill, is now preparing for the next big challenge — the third Test at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground.

India registered their first-ever win at Edgbaston, defeating England by a massive 336 runs, which is also their biggest overseas Test win by margin. With momentum on their side, the team now turns its focus to Lord’s, where the past hasn’t always been kind.

India vs England 3rd Test: Date and Time

The third Test will be played at Lord’s in London, beginning on Thursday, July 10. The match will kick off at 3:30 PM IST, maintaining the same start time as the first two Tests. With the series finely poised at 1-1, both sides will aim to take the lead.

India’s Struggles at Lord’s

Team India’s overall record at Lord’s is underwhelming. In 19 Test matches played here, India has:

Won: 3

Lost: 12

Drawn: 4

However, recent performances at this venue offer hope. In their last 3 appearances at Lord’s, India has won two matches:

2014: India defeated England by 95 runs under MS Dhoni's captaincy.

2018: A heavy defeat followed, as India lost by an innings and 159 runs under Virat Kohli.

2021: India bounced back with a remarkable 151-run victory.

Series Tied at 1-1: All Eyes on Lord’s

The ongoing five-match Test series is evenly poised. India suffered a five-wicket defeat in the opening Test at Leeds, but stormed back in Birmingham to level the series. With two high-pressure games coming up, Gill’s young brigade will be determined to turn the tide at Lord’s and take the lead in the series.

India’s chances in the third Test have received a major boost with the return of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah, who was rested for the second Test as part of workload management.
