Team India is currently on a tour of England, where a five-match Test series is being played between the two sides.

So far, two matches have been played, with England winning one and India securing the other. The series is now level at 1-1.

In the second Test, India brought the contest alive by beating England at Edgbaston. In that match, captain Shubman Gill put up a magnificent batting performance, registering a double century along with a century.

The third Test will now be held at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground. In this match, Indian bowlers will need to be wary of Joe Root, who has an excellent record at this venue, even though he didn’t score much in the Edgbaston Test.

Joe Root’s brilliant stats at Lord’s

Joe Root couldn’t do much with the bat in the 2nd Test in Edgbaston, where he managed only 22 runs in the first innings and 6 in the second.

However, Root is the kind of batter who can stage a comeback at any moment and punish bowlers mercilessly. His statistics at Lord's back this up.

Root has consistently troubled bowling attacks at this ground. He has scored 2022 runs in 40 innings at an average of 54.7 at Lord’s. His record includes 7 centuries and 7 half-centuries, along with a double hundred, making him a massive threat to India’s bowling lineup.

Match-winner returns to England squad

Pacer Gus Atkinson has returned to England’s squad ahead of the third Test at Lord’s.

Atkinson had been out due to a hamstring injury but is now fully fit and may be included in the playing XI. He has played 12 Test matches for England, taking 55 wickets and scoring 352 runs with the bat.

His tally also includes a century, making him a valuable asset with both ball and bat.

The third Test of the series will be played from July 10 to July 14 at Lord's in London. Team India is putting in intense practice sessions for this crucial fixture. India will be aiming to go up 2-1 in the series with a win here. Jasprit Bumrah is also expected to return in this match, further strengthening India’s bowling attack.
