Lord’s Cricket Ground Pitch Report
The Lord’s Cricket Ground surface is known for being batting-friendly, along with favouring bowlers with a good bounce in the first innings. Therefore, the captain winning the toss will prefer to bat first to put the opposition under the pump by posting a huge total on the board. However, the bowlers may create an impact by using the bounce in their favour by scalping early wickets against the batters.
