ENG vs IND 3rd Test Day 5 Preview

As Day 5 dawns at Lord’s, India face a daunting task, needing 135 runs with six wickets in hand to chase 193 and secure a 2-1 series lead. KL Rahul (33*) and Rishabh Pant, with his history of clutch performances like the 2021 Gabba chase, hold the key to India’s hopes. However, England’s pacers, led by Ben Stokes and Brydon Carse (2/11), will exploit the pitch’s uneven bounce and lateral movement to target India’s middle order. Jofra Archer’s return adds firepower, while Shoaib Bashir could trouble batsmen if the pitch deteriorates further.

England, buoyed by their late strikes on Day 4, including Shubman Gill’s cheap dismissal, need six wickets to clinch victory and regain series momentum ahead of The Ashes. India’s batting depth, with Ravindra Jadeja, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar to follow, offers hope. But they must navigate early seam movement under potentially cloudy skies. The match is finely poised, with England’s assistant coach Marcus Trescothick highlighting Rahul and Pant as pivotal.

Lord’s Pitch Report Day 5

The Lord’s pitch, initially green with an 8-foot slope aiding lateral movement, has evolved into a challenging surface by Day 5. While early days favoured seamers with swing and uneven bounce, the pitch has slowed, offering less for pacers but potential for spinners as cracks open up. Spinners like Washington Sundar and Shoaib Bashir could find grip, especially from footmarks, while pacers will rely on the slope for movement. Batting remains tricky, with the ball occasionally keeping low or shooting up, demanding patience and technique from India’s batsmen.

Highest Successful Chase at Lord’s in Test

The highest successful chase at Lord’s in Test cricket is 344/1 by West Indies against England in 1984, led by Gordon Greenidge’s 214*. India’s best chase at Lord’s is 151/5 in 2021. The current target of 193 is achievable but challenging, given Lord’s history of low fourth-innings averages (154).

London Weather Report

The Met Office forecasts warm, sunny conditions for July 14, 2025, at Lord’s, with temperatures between 17°C and 32°C, high humidity at 84%, and light winds of 10 km/h. No rain is expected, ensuring uninterrupted play. Early cloud cover may assist seamers, but the pitch could flatten out under sunlight, aiding batsmen later.
