Follow UsThe Lord’s Test match reached a critical juncture at the end of Day 3, with neither India nor England gaining the upper hand as both teams finished their first innings exactly at 387. KL Rahul was the standout player of the day, scoring his second century at Lord’s. Ravindra Jadeja continued his rich form, marking his third successive fifty in the series. England then added late excitement by surviving a dramatic over from Bumrah, setting the stage for a mouth‑watering Day 4.
Here are possible things we can expect on Day four at Lord's.
Like the first three days, pacers have managed to be lethal on Day 4 as well as they have averaged 22, which is far better than any other venue in England. Team India pacers will be expected to deliver some outstanding spells on Sunday.
Jasprit Bumrah has tormented England in his career, managing 70 wickets so far. He has taken 19 of those 70 on Day 4, averaging just 17.3, which is his best across the five days.
Joe Root, who became the highest run scorer at Lord's in the first innings, will be coming to Day 4 with a bad record behind him. In 11 innings that Root has batted on the fourth day, he has scored 202 runs @ 22.4, which is his worst across five days at this venue. This will give team India huge confidence as they would want to dismiss Root cheaply.
According to AccuWeather, there is no significant rain forecast for Day 4 of the Lord’s Test on July 13 (Sunday). Expect typical English summer conditions, with the temperature peaking around 30°C.
