Lord’s Pitch Report  

Lord’s typically offers a balanced contest between bat and ball. Early on, the pitch tends to assist seam bowlers, with good carry and some lateral movement. As the match progresses, it usually flattens out, offering opportunities for batters to score freely.  

Spinners may come into play on days four and five, especially if the surface dries out, creating some turn. Historically, chasing in the fourth innings at Lord’s can be challenging, making the toss a crucial factor. Captains will likely aim to bat first and put runs on the board, leveraging the fresh conditions for their pacers.
