3. Lord’s pitch report
The Lord’s pitch often has smattering of grass on it making the pitch a lively one. However, the pace and bounce here is more consistent in nature than disconcerting, and it will encourage batsmen to stay on course. On the other side, bowlers, especially the quick ones, will be eager to stamp their authority using the bounce and swing on offer here.
