England Captain Ben Stokes promised a strong reaction from the home side in the third test of Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, which will be played in Lord’s in London from 10 to 14 July. ** Stokes insisted that England had never taken India easily and promised that his team would come to visitors in offer to get forward forward in what was forward in what was forward in what was forward in what was in the subject.
After winning the opening test in Leeds with a record persecution of 371, England was thoroughly exaggerated in the second test in Birmingham and suffered from 336-Run defeat. Their bowling lacked bites and their dough couldn’t cope with the pace of duo Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj. Meantime, SHUBMAN GILL created a record display with a batscoring 269 and 161, when England tried to detain an Indian fighter on a flat playground in Edgbaston.
To strengthen their bowling attack, England had remembered Jofra Archer on XI. The express stimulator, which endured a number of injuries, returns to the test team after four years of absence.
“It has always been a series with tides and flows – two strong teams that have come to the top of Headingley; they did it in Edgbaston. I don’t think we feel we have an advantage over anyone – we respect our opponents.
England has shown resistance in the past, often reflected from failures without leaving their aggressive approach. Lord’s, however, has not been a particularly successful place in recent years, especially against teams from the subcontinent. India recorded the victory at Lord’s in 2014 and 2021.
Large score at Lorda
Meanwhile, Ben Stokes remained guarded when he asked his own form with the bat.
Over the past two years, Stokes haslened a slim run in the test cricket. In 2024 he played 13 tests and scored only 602 runs on average 28.66. Its form in 2025 further immersed, only 95 runs in three tests on average 19.00.
His lack of runs came under growing control and the former crickets questioned his contributions. Contrast with the Indian captain, SHUBMAN GILL – who broke the records with ease – added only pressure. Stokes did not exceed the 40-running brand in the ongoing series.
During the ashes of 2023, however, can draw inspiration from its second century in this place.
“That was two years ago, so I’m almost over it now. But yes, hopefully there is another big score,” Stokes said, adding that he felt good about his workload and the current rhythm with the bat.
Dukes Ball both?
Stokes also repeated the fears of SHUBMAN GILL from Ball Dukes, who was distorted during the series before expected. His notes came the day after The Dukes Ball Manufacturer Has Has Harm this ProductInstead, guilt lies with bowling units and uninding playgrounds.
“Yeah, look. We’re not the only ones – whenever tourist teams come here, the ball problems were flexed and out of shape. I’m not sure the rings we use are the standard rings of the dukes,” Stokes said.
“It’s not ideal, but you will deal with it. If you think the ball is out of shape, you ask the referee to check it, and if it passes through the ring, you just burst. If it is not – as soon as it is out of shape – you get a new one.
England will hope for the pitch that the pitch -mounted people are offering more dough -friendly matches. However, the greater question may be whether their launch set can withstand the threat, which is an Indian pace of attack, which will be strengthened by Jasprit Bumrah, which missed the Birmingham test.
