Lord’s, London: Pitch Report
The Lord’s surface is expected to provide a good balance between bat and ball. The new ball is likely to offer seam movement and carry, allowing the fast bowlers to make an early impact. Batters who survive the initial burst can capitalise on the true bounce and quick outfield. Spinners could also come into play during the middle phase by varying their pace and using the larger boundaries effectively.
