The conditions were mostly overcast, a slight drizzle delayed the start before action resumed ad India had to take early lunch due to rain. Since then, it has been smooth sailing with no stoppage, as Virat Kohli and Co. cruised to 276/3 on Day 1, on the back of a KL Rahul century and Rohit Sharma’s classy 83.

@14:48 – This is what England is serving at Lord’s. It’s tough to judge the Lord’s pitch by the looks of it. So going by the stats whoever wins the toss should bat first.


@14:30 – It looks like we are going to have a sunny day at Lord’s

As per metoffice.gov.uk, there will be a cloud cover that will benefit the pacers with the temperature expected to be hovering around 23-degree Celcius.
