IND vs ENG 3rd Test 2025 Pitch Report
It is being said that England has asked for a Grassy pitch keeping their fast bowlers in mind, so that the batsmen can play carefully with the ball, there is a bit of greenery in the wicket, this pitch has more grass than the pitches that we have seen in the last two Test matches, which will help the fast bowlers more, but tomorrow the final cut will be made, whatever final cut is done before the match, after that we can talk that usually the pitch of Lord’s is comparatively less in the scores of the first and second innings, from this we can expect that it will be helpful for both the bowlers.
