Head to head
England and Windies have played 18 Test matches at Lords and no doubt England is far ahead with 12 wins while the West Indies have won just two matches. Four have been drawn.
Pitch Report:
The pitch at Lordâs typically favors bowlers, especially fast bowlers. New ball movement and swing are significant, making it challenging for opening batsmen. Spin bowlers also get assistance, with good turns and bounce.
In the first innings, the pitch is relatively easier for batting, but as the match progresses, it becomes more favorable for fast bowlers and spinners.
