In the Lord’s Test, India and England scored 387 runs in their first innings. At the same time, the England team had scored 192 runs in the second innings, in response to which Team India had lost 4 wickets till the stumps on the fourth day. The condition of the Indian team was not very good on the fifth day, because the wickets kept falling one after the other. After all, why is it very difficult to chase a score of 100 runs on the fifth day on Lord’s ground, while India got a target of 193 runs.

The history of Lord’s ground has been that in the beginning, especially fast bowlers help, swing is seen in fast bowling due to grass on the pitch. At the same time, as the pitch gets old, it becomes difficult to bat. By the fourth day, there are light cracks in the pitch, due to which fast bowlers get good seam movement in bowling. The Lord’s Test has an unusual bounce in the pitch by the fourth and fifth days. At the same time, the spinners also get help, that is why Washington Sundar was able to take four wickets on the fourth day in the Indo-England match.

By the fifth day in the Lord’s Test, the effect of the swing decreases, but due to the seam movement, the ball starts changing the fork after eating. KL Rahul also became a victim of some such ball, which was dismissed by Ben Stokes. The result of a change in the nature of the pitch is that the Indian team was seen struggling in the third Test of the series. Let us tell you that the biggest score, which was successfully chased by the Indian team at Lord’s ground, is 136 runs, which he achieved in 1986 under the captaincy of Kapil Dev.
