Lords, London Pitch Report
Lord’s is known for its balanced pitch that provides assistance to both batters and bowlers. The surface typically favors seam bowlers early on due to the grassy covering, while later in the innings it becomes more conducive to spin and stroke play. The unique slope at Lord’s adds an extra challenge for the players.
The pitch is expected to be batting-friendly, with a quick outfield aiding the scoring. Pacers can expect some early swing and bounce with the new ball. Spinners may not get much turn and will need to rely on accuracy.
