Jasprit Bumrah vs Joe Root
England's stalwart, Joe Root, has been struggling to put on a big score in the series so far, but has been a consistent performer for the side. On the other hand, Jasprit Bumrah, who missed out on the second Test match, will enter the third Test with high confidence after the side's victory in Birmingham. Bumrah, known for his toe-crushing yorkers, will be aiming to 'uproot' Joe at Lord's
Akash Deep vs Harry Brook
Pacer Akash Deep was the hero of the second Test for Team India. Coming in as a replacement for Bumrah, the pacer claimed 10 wickets in total. Surprisingly, in both innings of the second Test match, Akash accounted for the wicket of Harry Brook. Will Akash be able to replicate his tactics against Brook at Lord's as well?
Jofra Archer vs Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill has been in red-hot form since the start of the five-match series. With back-to-back centuries, the right-hander will probably need to be cautious in the third Test. England will likely play Jofra Archer at Lord's, and if the pacer makes his appearance, there are chances of Gill struggling to score runs in the gaps
Karun Nair vs Brydon Carse
India's Karun Nair, who has made his return to the Test side after years of scoring runs in the domestic circuit, is yet to put on a big show. In the second Test match, Nair has been a victim twice against Brydon Carse. The pacer has been successful in breaking partnerships at crucial times. It will be interesting to see if Carse manages to dismiss Nair, yet again, at Lord's
The third Test match between Team India and England will kick off on July 10 at Lord's Cricket Ground
