India and England are set to clash in the third Test of the ongoing five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground in London. The match begins on Thursday, July 10, 2025, and runs through July 14.

Following a dominant 336-run win at Edgbaston, a confident Indian team, led by Shubman Gill, is aiming to take the lead in the series, currently tied at 1-1. Gill made history in the previous Test, becoming the first batter to score both a 250-plus and a 150-plus in the same match, with innings of 269 and 161 respectively.

India’s bowling lineup receives a major boost as Jasprit Bumrah returns, pairing with the impressive Akash Deep, who claimed 10 wickets in the last match. England, meanwhile, are likely to revamp their bowling attack, with Jofra Archer expected to return to red-ball cricket after a long break.
