Lord's Test: England win toss, elect to bat first against India
London/IBNS: England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and elected to bat first in the third Test against India at Lord's Cricket Ground in London on Thursday.
Both the teams have introduced one change to their respective teams.
Bumrah, whose absence was not greatly felt in the second Test due to brilliant bowling by Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj, replaced Prasidh Krishna, who failed to impress with the ball in the first two matches.
Jofra Archer, who is representing England in a Test match for the first time in more than four years, replaced Josh Tongue in the playing XI.
The five-match series is currently balanced at 1-1 after India scripted history in the second Test by registering their maiden win at Edgbaston in Birmingham by 336 runs.
The Indian batters- particularly captain Shubman Gill- are in sublime form. Gill, who scored a double hundred and a hundred in the two innings at Edgbaston, amassed 430 runs in the second Test.
Akash Deep had picked 10 wickets in the second Test, which was played at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
