As the third Test of the five-match series between India and England gets underway on July 10 at Lord’s, all eyes are on how both sides will respond after a dramatic turnaround in Edgbaston.

Now, the action shifts to the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground, a venue steeped in history and tradition. Since their first Test clash at Lord’s in 1932, England and India have met 19 times at this iconic ground. The numbers firmly favour the hosts.
