Live: IND vs ENG Live Match Today, 3rd Test Match, Lord's, London | Live Scores & Commentary | India vs England Live Match Today | India Tour of England 2025
PREVIEW: It’s a new dawn for Indian cricket, with a new Test captain, a relatively new coach, and fresh faces in the XI. India is already without Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and R. Ashwin, and for two of the five Tests against England, they will also be without Jasprit Bumrah. That leaves a massive void in skills and experience for Shubman Gill and Gautam Gambhir. How they handle that challenge and how the rest of the squad steps up will determine the course of the series.
England has traditionally been seamer-friendly, but the hot and dry summer of 2025 could bring batters and spinners into the game more than usual, particularly at Headingley. Three county games have been played at the venue this year: in one, Yorkshire piled on the runs; in the other two, bowlers dominated. However, those matches were played in April and May, and the pitch has since had six weeks of summer to bake further.
Two batting spots and two bowling/all-rounder spots are up for grabs. The leading contenders among the batters are Sai Sudharsan and Karun Nair, polar opposites in many ways. Sudharsan lacks a strong first-class record, while Nair has been prolific. Sudharsan is young and raw, Nair a seasoned campaigner. Sudharsan is eyeing his debut, and Nair is on the comeback trail. Yet both appear ready. Despite his lack of experience, Sudharsan has impressed all who’ve seen him bat. Nair, meanwhile, has made his case with sheer weight of runs.
The open spots in the XI are at Nos. 3 and 6. Whether Sudharsan or Nair bats there remains to be seen. Rishabh Pant has indicated he’ll bat at No. 5, with Gill at No. 4.
