In the much-anticipated third Test match against Team India, England skipper Ben Stokes has won the toss and elected to bat first at the Lord`s Cricket Ground.
The clash promises to be a highly engaging contest due to where the series stands as of now. Also
Ahead of the match, the spectators are eager to witness England`s fierce pacer, Jofra Archer, in action, donning the whites. The pacer has made a return to the Test side after a long time and will aim to make it a memorable one.
Also, after missing out on the second Test match, lead pacer Jasprit Bumrah is all set to make his appearance in the third. His inclusion has provided a major boost to Team India.
Indian skipper Shubman Gill and opening batsman KL Rahul will be the top two players to watch out for in the match.
Considering his recent form, Gill will be looking to make his impact at the iconic venue. On the other hand, Rahul already has a century to his name at the venue. He seems to be in fine touch in the ongoing series, but it will be interesting to see if he can replicate his performance from the previous clash.
