The third match of the five-Test series between India and England will take place at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground from July 10. England clinched the first Test, while India bounced back with a convincing victory at Edgbaston to level the series 1-1.

With IND vs ENG Test series finely poised, Jasprit Bumrah’s return to India’s playing XI for the Lord’s Test is almost certain.

Let’s take a look at how Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj have performed at this historic venue.

Jasprit Bumrah’s record at Lord’s

Jasprit Bumrah has played just one Test match at Lord’s so far. In that game, he managed to take a total of 3 wickets across both innings. His bowling average at the ground stands at 37.33. While not a poor return, his figures are overshadowed by those of fellow pacer Mohammed Siraj at the same venue.

Mohammed Siraj’s performance at Lord’s

Mohammed Siraj also has one Test match experience at Lord’s, but he delivered a far superior performance.

Siraj claimed 8 wickets in that match with an impressive average of 15.75. His best figures at the venue were 4 for 32. Continuing his excellent form, Siraj picked up 7 wickets in the Edgbaston Test — 5 in the first innings and 2 in the second — making him a key player to watch in the upcoming match at Lord’s.

Akash Deep will also be in focus

Akash Deep is also expected to feature in the Lord’s Test. His exceptional bowling display at Edgbaston, where he took 10 wickets, played a major role in India’s commanding win.

Given his match-winning performance, it's unlikely he’ll be left out of the playing XI. Fans and the Indian team alike will be eager to see if Akash Deep can replicate his Edgbaston heroics at the Home of Cricket.
