India and England are ready to face off in the third Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, starting July 10 at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground in London.
After losing the opening match in Leeds, India bounced back in style and levelled the series. Without seasoned fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, the visitors inflicted a humiliating 336-run loss on the hosts and kept the five-match series alive.
