England take on India in the third Test at Lord’s with the series tied 1-1; Bumrah and Archer set to return
England will face India in the 3rd Test of the India tour of England, 2025 on 10 July 2025 at Lord’s, London. This article will cover match details, pitch report, playing XI, player stats, Dream11 predictions and fantasy cricket tips for the IND vs ENG match.
Match Preview
With the series level at 1-1, the stakes are raised as India arrive high on confidence after becoming the first Asian side to win a Test at Edgbaston. That victory came without Jasprit Bumrah, who is expected to return for the Lord’s Test, bolstering India’s attack. Shubman Gill has been dominant with the bat, piling up 430 runs in two matches posing a major headache for England’s fatigued bowling unit.
England, under pressure at home, welcome Jofra Archer back to the Test side at the ground where he made his debut in 2019. Flat pitches so far have favoured India’s patience-heavy approach and dulled England’s attacking game. With Lord’s expected to provide more help for bowlers, the Dukes ball’s declining quality beyond 30 overs remains a concern. England must now balance risk with control to regain momentum in front of an intense home crowd.

IND vs ENG Pitch Report for 3rd Test
Lord’s could offer a classic Test match rhythm this time around, especially with temperatures expected to climb back to 32°C after a brief reprieve from the recent heatwave. There’s a greenish tinge on the surface going into the game, which should keep the seamers interested early on—just the kind of response England would want after Edgbaston. If recent games here are anything to go by, including the WTC Final, the pitch will start out testing but settle into a better batting track as the match progresses. Timing the innings well might be just as crucial as the toss.
