Team India is all set to take on England at the ‘home of cricket’ Lord’s Cricket Ground in the third Test match starting on Thursday (July 10). Led by Shubman Gill, the visitors will look to carry their momentum from Edgbaston having drawn level in the five-match Test series. Ahead of the latest Test, let’s have a glance at what happened last time India travelled to the iconic venue.&nbsp;<h2>What happened last time India played a Test at Lord’s?</h2>Having drawn the opening Test at Trent Bridge in Nottingham, Virat Kohli and his side produced an all-round show with bat and ball with the match starting on 12 August 2021. Having lost the toss, India were put into bat as Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul opened for the visitors with Virat Kohli in charge of the side. Rahul scored a superb 129 runs, becoming the latest Indian batter to score a hundred at Lord’s. He stitched an opening stand of 126 runs with Rohit Sharma (83) before the latter was dismissed.&nbsp;&nbsp;England soon bounced back as James Anderson led the charge, scalping five wickets for 62 and helping England bowl out India for 364. Virat (42) and Ravindra Jadeja (40) also contributed with the bat for India before getting dismissed.&nbsp;&nbsp;In response, England were bowled out for 391 runs in their first innings with Joe Root scoring 180. However, apart from him, there was no significant contribution with the bat from other batters as the hosts earned a slender lead of 27 runs. Mohammed Siraj bagged a tally of 94/4 while Ishant Sharma bagged three wickets.&nbsp;&nbsp;India in their second innings did not have the best start as they were 55/3 before a 100-run stand between Cheteshwar Pujara (45) and Ajinkya Rahane (61).

Ace Indian all-rounder <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/ravindra-jadeja" rel="dofollow">Ravindra Jadeja</a> enjoyed a thorough outing in the recently concluded second ODI against England in Cuttack; he returned with three wickets in the first innings before hitting the winning runs to see his team home by four wickets. Playing his first ODI series since the World Cup Final loss to Australia in November 2023, Jadeja credited his brief spell in the Ranji Trophy for Saurashtra for his match-winning performance.
Although Indian captain <a href="https://www.wionews.com/cricket/ind-vs-eng-2nd-odi-rohit-sharma-hits-100-as-hosts-in-driving-seat-8705296" rel="dofollow">Rohit Sharma&rsquo;s first ODI hundred in months made headlines as India clinched the series</a>, Jadeja&rsquo;s tight spell in the first innings helped India restrict England to 304 despite an outstanding start. He began by removing opener Ben Duckett in his first over before accounting for Joe Root, who scored a gritty 69 and Jamie Overton later for just six, returning with three wickets for 35 runs, including a maiden in ten overs.

Addressing the media following the conclusion of the second match of this three-match series, Jadeja admitted feeling good about his performance, later crediting his performance (for Saurashtra) against Delhi, wherein he picked 12 wickets in the match for helping him return to form in time for the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/champions-trophy" rel="dofollow">ICC Champions Trophy</a> starting February 19.
"Feeling very good," Jadeja said.&nbsp;
"Especially playing ODIs after almost two years. You have to adapt quickly in this format. I believe that the domestic game that I played [against Delhi] helped me a lot. I bowled almost 30 overs in that match.&nbsp;
&ldquo;So, I never lost my rhythm. And I am trying to bowl Test lines and lengths in ODIs as well. What we call the rhythm, the continuity, was in place because my break from cricket wasn't that long. So, in my view, I have benefited from the domestic match that I played,&rdquo; he continued.
<h2>Ranji Trophy back in the headlines</h2>
Following losing the away Border-Gavaskar Trophy for the first time in ten years, the BCCI put on several restrictions, including making it mandatory for all centrally contracted cricketers to return to the drawing board. From Rohit to Yashasvi Jaiswal, from Jadeja, Rishabh Pant to batting great Virat Kohli, everyone represented their respective states in the Ranji Trophy ahead of England ODIs.&nbsp;
While the Mumbai batters (Rohit and Jaiswal) failed across two innings against the touring Jammu &amp; Kashmir side, which beat Mumbai in the tournament&rsquo;s upset this season, Delhi batters Pant and Kohli got out cheaply against Railways at a home game.&nbsp;
KL Rahul also failed to score big in his return game for Karnataka, while the new ODI vice-captain Shubman Gill impressed everyone with his gritty hundred against Karnataka.&nbsp;
Jadeja, however, was among a few Champions Trophy-bound players to taste success during this short window playing in the Ranji Trophy.&nbsp;

Former India captain Virat Kohli is all set to return to the Playing XI for the side ahead of the second ODI against England on Sunday (Feb 9).

The former India captain has struggled in the recent months with the bat including in the tour Down Under against Australia.<o:p></o:p>
According to Shubman Gill, Virat suffered swelling on the morning of the Nagpur match leaving him out of the Playing XI. Interestingly, the 36-year-old has played only two ODI matches since the 2023 World Cup final against Australia, which came in the Sri Lanka tour in July 2024.

IND vs ENG, 2nd ODI: Virat Kohli to return for Cuttack contest, confirms batting coach Sitanshu Kotak

India star batter Virat Kohli could feature in the second ODI against England on Sunday (Feb 9) after he missed the opening contest of the three-match series on Friday. The claim comes after Shubman Gill opened up on the former India captain&rsquo;s fitness issue in his post-match comments as the hosts beat England by four wickets in Nagpur. Gill played a crucial 87-run knock in the opening ODI which helped India propel to a 1-0 lead in the series. <o:p></o:p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Virat fit for Cuttack ODI, claims Gill<o:p></o:p></h2>
"When he woke up in the morning, he had some swelling in his knee. He was fine till yesterday's practice session. There's nothing to worry. He will definitely be fit for the next game," said Gill in the post-match interview. <o:p></o:p>
The Indian vice-captain&rsquo;s 87-run knock was one of the feature innings as they beat England comprehensively. However, the win came in the absence of Virat who had a knee issue heading into the match. His absence meant Yashasvi Jaiswal got the nod as the opener while Gill dropped into the middle-order. <o:p></o:p>
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">India make light work of England</h2>
Asked to chase 249 runs to win, the Indian team did not have the best start to their innings as they lost skipper Rohit Sharma (2) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (15) in the opening six overs. However, the Indian team then came good with the bat Gill and Iyer started India&rsquo;s recovery. The pair put together 84 runs for the third wicket before Iyer was scalped by Jacob Bethell on 59 in the 16th over.

Gill was then joined by Axar Patel as they stitched a partnership of 108 runs as India established an iron grip over the contest.

However, Ravindra Jadeja (12) and Hardik Pandya (9) helped India get over the line and win the match. <o:p></o:p>

He will definitely be fit for the next game," said Gill in the post-match interview. The Indian vice-captain’s 87-run knock was one of the feature innings as they beat England comprehensively. However, the win came in the absence of Virat who had a knee issue heading into the match. His absence meant Yashasvi Jaiswal got the nod as the opener while Gill dropped into the middle-order. India make light work of England Asked to chase 249 runs to win, the Indian team did not have the best start to their innings as they lost skipper Rohit Sharma (2) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (15) in the opening six overs. However, the Indian team then came good with the bat Gill and Iyer started India’s recovery. The pair put together 84 runs for the third wicket before Iyer was scalped by Jacob Bethell on 59 in the 16th over.

Vice-captain Harry Brook (51) showed little resilience with the bat but was not enough for the visitors.
Jos Buttler (2) failed to find his rhythm and English batters down the order hardly contributed. Harshit Rana was the pick of India bowlers with figures of 33/3 while Ravi Bishnoi also ended with 28/3 as England were bowled out for 166 in 19.4 overs.&nbsp;

IND vs ENG: Pandya, Dube lead from front as India pocket T20I series with win in Pune

It was a bowling spectacle for England&rsquo;s Saqib Mahmood as he displayed a flawless performance with the ball in the fourth T20I against hosts India on Friday (Jan 31). Playing at the Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune, Mahmood scalped the trio of Sanju Samson (1), Tilak Varma (0) and skipper Suryakumar Yadav in one over to set the stage on fire. This left India in a spot of bother before Shivam Dube (53) and Hardik Pandya (53) rescued India from a vulnerable position.
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Saqib Mahmood runs riot</h2>
In the second over of the Indian innings, Mahmood was in superb form as he first dismissed Samson followed by Varma to be on hat-trick. He got the better of both Indian batters on back-to-back deliveries leaving India all over the place. Captain Suraykumar Yadav was the next prey for Mahmood as he got the better of him on the last ball of the over, again on a duck.
From 12/0, India were soon 12/3 as they struggled against the pace attack led by the 27-year-old. To add more woes for the hosts, the triple wicket over ended up being a maiden as England were at the top of their game.

IND vs ENG, 4th T20I live streaming: When and where to watch India vs England live on laptop, TV

England legend Kevin Pietersen has backed Sanju Samson to flourish despite his failure in the latest T20I against the visitors on Tuesday (Jan 29). According to Pietersen, the wicketkeeper-batter has nothing to worry about and has the mentality to succeed in the format. England beat India by 26 runs in the third T20I on Tuesday and they now trail India 1-2 in the five-match series.
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Pietersen backs Samson</h2>
&ldquo;I think mentally he's sound. I really like Sanju Samson as a batter. I actually love him. I was pretty surprised that he hasn't had more of a consistent role over the last few years. Yes, he's got a game here at the top of the order, but listen, these things happen. Things happen so quickly in the shortest form of the game,&rdquo; Pietersen told the broadcasters after the match.
India were beaten in the Rajkot T20I having won earlier in Kolkata and Chennai as Samson endured form. The Rajasthan Royals captain has been in great form recently, having scored two centuries in the South Africa tour, but failed to replicate the same on Tuesday. The 30-year-old was dismissed for three and with question marks on his batting technique. &nbsp;

<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">England dominate India in Rajkot</h2>
While Samson&rsquo;s form has been the talking point, England kept their hopes of winning the series alive with a dominating win. Having scored 171/9 in 20 overs, England restricted India to 145 and trimmed the hosts' lead in the series. Ben Duckett was the top scorer for England with 51 runs off 28 while Liam Livingstone also contributed with 43.
India on the other hand struggled with batting and were 85/5 at one stage before the mini-revival. Hardik Pandya top scored with 40, but lack of support at the other end saw the Men in Blue end on a losing note.
The two sides next meet on Friday (Jan 31) in Pune as India will have another opportunity to pocket the series while England could take the series to the decider if they end up on the winning side.

The contest in Rajkot will be the 27th head-to-head meeting between the sides in the T20I format with India leading 15-11.

India will rely on the services of Tilak Varma, having played a match-winning 72-run knock in Chennai.<o:p></o:p>
England on the other hand will rely on Jos Buttler and Harry Brook, as they look to keep alive the team&rsquo;s hopes in the series. England have lost the last three head-to-head meetings against India, including the T20 World Cup semifinal in the West Indies in June.

<h2>Abhishek equals mentor Yuvraj's record</h2>
During his innings, Abhishek also equalled his mentor Yuvraj Singh's record who had also hit 20-ball fifties twice in his career, against Australia in 2007 and against Sri Lanka in 2009. Abhishek's 20-ball fifty is also the joint fourth fastest for India along with Yuvraj and Axar Patel (vs SL in 2023).
The 20-ball fifty is also the second fastest for India against England in T20Is behind Yuvraj's magnificent 12-ball fifty in 2007 T20 World Cup.
Abhishek also explained his big hitting and said during the post-match presentation: "I practice my trigger movements before the match, I knew they'd bowl short and check my patience."
<h2>India spinners tame England</h2>
Earlier, skipper Suryakumar won the toss and elected to bowl first because of dew at Eden Gardens. His decision was proved right quickly as Arshdeep Singh took two wickets inside powerplay and became India's leading wicket-taker in T20Is.
Spinner Varun Chakravarthy then took three wickets, including two in one over, as England failed to get any momentum despite English skipper Jos Buttler's 68.

England have appointed young star player Harry Brook as the new vice-captain of the white-ball side ahead of the India tour which starts on Wednesday (Jan 22). Brook, one of the consistent performers for England in the last couple of years, will act as deputy to regular skipper Jos Buttler starting from Wednesday. The right-hand batter is a consistent feature in the England side in all three formats, and has been tipped to lead the side as a full-time skipper in the future.
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Harry Brook appointed new skipper</h2>
In an announcement made on Tuesday (Jan 21), the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced Brook as the vice-captain of the side. He comes with a wealth of experience in the side, having established himself as an all-format player. Brook&rsquo;s rise in the last two years has been remarkable considering he has scored runs both home and away.
In October, he scored a triple hundred against Pakistan in the Multan Test as England rewrote record books on multiple fronts.
In 20 ODIs played in his career so far, Brook has scored 719 runs at an average of 39.94 and a strike rate of 106.83 with one hundred and five fifties. In T20Is, he&rsquo;s played 39 games and scored 707 runs at an average of 30.73 and a strike rate of 146.07 with three fifties. Brook was also a part of England&rsquo;s T20 World Cup 2022 triumph in Australia and represented Lucknow Super Giants in the 2023 Indian Premier League.

IND vs ENG: England appoint Harry Brook as new white-ball vice-captain

England head coach Brendon McCullum has all but confirmed skipper Jos Buttler&rsquo;s role in the field as they set their sights on the upcoming T20I series against India. The series starting on Wednesday (Jan 22) will see England kick off the white-ball tour before they play in the Champions Trophy 2025. According to McCullum, Buttler will feature solely as a batter and will not keep wickets. Instead, Phil Salt will act as the wicketkeeper, with Buttler given added incentive to go around the field and build team tactics while in conversation with the bowler.
<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">McCullum lifts lid on Buttler&rsquo;s role</h2>
"It's really a really positive thing for us, because it gives Jos the opportunity to have the last say with the bowler, and to have that relationship built at that last second, rather than from 22 yards away. We've got great keeping options within the side as well,&rdquo; said McCullum at the pre-match press conference.
England will start their eight-match white-ball tour to India on Wednesday where they will play five T20Is followed by three ODIs. Buttler will have huge duties on his shoulders as England look to add another ICC title to their arsenal. Since 2019, England has won the ODI World Cup and the T20I World Cup and would want to add another feather to his impressive hat.

IND vs ENG, 1st T20I: Brendon McCullum lifts lid on Jos Buttler's role, 'to play as pure...'

<a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/shami">Mohammed Shami</a> has returned to the Indian Team, since ODI World Cup final (in November 2023), bowling full throttle in his first training session on Sunday in Kolkata. Ahead of the T20I series opener against England on Wednesday (Jan 22) at the Eden Gardens, Shami&rsquo;s bowling was the focus as he threw 'rockets' in the nets with the strapped knee.
The ace Indian quick looked in his element and bowled for over an hour in the nets, with the bowling coach Morne Morkel keeping a close tab on his progress. Upon returning to competitive cricket late last year, Shami played several Ranji Trophy matches (for Bengal) before plying his trade in the domestic white-ball competitions &ndash; Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy and Vijay Hazare Trophy.

Although he recovered from the swelling on his knee, something India captain <a href="https://www.wionews.com/tags/rohit">Rohit Sharma</a> pointed out as one of the reasons for Shami's delayed international comeback, the selectors decided against picking him for India&rsquo;s tour of Australia. In his absence, Jasprit Bumrah shouldered the entire burden, even captaining India in two matches, while returning with 32 wickets across nine innings &ndash; the most by any bowler in BGT 2024/25.
Shami began training by marking a spot on a good-length area on the practice pitches, warming up by bowling with a half run-up for close to 20 minutes. He then bowled full run-ups to openers Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma before getting down to fielding drills with coach T Dilip and head coach Gambhir. Following the net session, Shami wrapped up the evening with a full-throttle ten-minute spell on the practice pitches.

Fit-again Shami throws 'rockets' in training with strapped knee - Watch

Ace seamer Mohammed Shami has returned to the Indian Team for the first time since the 2023 ODI World Cup Final against Australia, as BCCI announced a 15-man squad for the England T20Is starting January 22 in Kolkata. Suryakumar Yadav leads the star-studded side, with no Rishabh Pant and Shubman Gill.
<h3>Here is India&rsquo;s T20I squad for England series &ndash;</h3>
Suryakumar Yadav (C), Sanju Samson (wk), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Rinku Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Axar Patel (vc), Harshit Rana, Arshdeep Singh, Mohammad Shami, Varun Chakaravarthy, Ravi Bishnoi, Washington Sundar and Dhruv Jurel (wk)
<h2>Team India ready for England</h2>
Most players who featured in the four-match T20I series against South Africa in November retained their places, while a few made the cut on current form.&nbsp;
Abhishek Sharma, Sanju Samson and Tilak Varma will play in the top order alongside the skipper SKY, with Hardik Pandya, his fellow all-rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy and Rinku Singh taking care of the middle-order duties; senior campaigner Axar Patel to play Surya&rsquo;s deputy.
Meanwhile, the selection committee named all-rounder Washington Sundar alongside backup keeper-batter Dhruv Jurel.
The highlight of this squad selection is the return of ace pacer Shami, who will don the Indian jersey for the first time since the 2023 ODI World Cup final in Ahmedabad (on November 19). The right-arm quick played the showpiece event with an ankle injury, which later ruled him out of all cricket action for almost a year. Shami, however, returned to the domestic structure in 2024, playing for Bengal in the Ranji Trophy and the Vijay Hazare Trophy and impressing the selectors with his form and fitness.
Although the Ajit Agarkar-led selection committee decided against picking Shami for the recently concluded BGT Down Under, they roped him in the 15-man squad for England T20Is.
<h3>No Jaiswal, Gill or Pant</h3>
While the T20I squad indicates that the selectors are clear on whom to play in which format, the absence of three-star players &ndash; Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant raised a few eyebrows.
However, per the latest reports, the selectors rested Gill and Pant, while Jaiswal was never in the scheme of things, considering plenty of options at the top in this format. Though both might return for England ODIs and Champions Trophy 2025 squads, no word on Jaiswal&rsquo;s inclusion has been shared.
Besides, should KL Rahul also get picked for the eight-team tournament scheduled in Pakistan and the UAE, he will play as a specialist batter.&nbsp;
The squads for the remaining two series will be named in one week.&nbsp;
