Match Preview: ENG VS IND 2ND TEST MATCH:

Hey guys, welcome back to SlogVlog! Today I’ll be writing a preview about the 2nd Test match between ENG AND IND. So let’s start by looking at the probable 11 for both teams.

PROBABLE 11 FOR ENG:

1. Joseph Burns
2. Sibley
3. Johny Bairstow
4. Joe Root
5. Olver Pope
6. Jos Buttler
7. Moeen Ali
8. Sam Curran
9. O Robinson
10. Stuart Broad
11. James Anderson

As you can see, I have made one change in England’s team. I have replaced D Lawrence with Moeen Ali. This is because Moeen is fit to play and can add more stability to England’s bowling attack.

PROBABLE 11 FOR IND:

1. Rohit Sharma
2. KL Rahul
3. Pujara
4. Virat Kohli (C)
5. Rahane
6. Rishabh Pant (WK)
7. Jadeja
8. Thakur
9. Mohammad Shami
10. Bumrah
11. Mohammad Siraj

I have not changed India’s 11 because they played Very Good in the 1st Test.

Anderson VS Kohli: The next round:

Matches this Series: 1

Anderson wickets: 1

Kohli Runs: 0 (1)

WOW! That sounds surprising, doesn’t it? Kohli, the same man who didn’t get out at all by Anderson in 2018, got out by him on the FIRST BALL HE PLAYED! Anderson created a new record by getting Kohli Out. He is the first International bowler to get Kohli Out on 0 twice. Anyways let’s see who wins ROUND 2 OF THIS EPIC RIVALRY.

Pitch Report:

This will play this match in the GREATEST CRICKET STADIUM OF ALL TIME. Can you all guess which stadium? YES! You are right. It is the home of cricket LORD’S. Okay, that was the most straightforward question a cricket fan could answer but still. Anyways back to the topic. The Lords is like a neutral stadium. It favors both batsmen and bowlers. But the team batting first on the new wicket could have a slight advantage.

Why?

This is because the Lord’s wicket starts to dry up around day four or day 5. So that means both the Spinners and Pacers can be VERY LETHAL AND DANGEROUS.

So I would suggest that the team which wins the toss should elect to Bat first.

Weather Forecast:

The Second Test is mostly likely to have absolutely no distractions by rain or bad weather. We are hoping that nothing happens to this Test as it happened to the 1st Test. The Temperature expected is to be about 22 degrees.

Prediction:

We pick Team India to win this Test Match. After the cricket they have played in the 1st Test, it seems kinda unfair to select England. However, if Joe Root comes and plays like a superhero for England, the Test will most likely go England’s way. OH GOD, PLEASE JUST DON’T MAKE THIS TEST ALSO A TIE! Good Luck To Both Teams.
