2nd Test: England v India at Lord's

Jul 17-21, 2014

So it is perhaps understandable to some degree that the build-up to the Lord's Test :

has been dominated by allegations of an unseemly spat between James Anderson and

Ravindra Jadeja in the drawn first Test at Trent Bridge.

Tempers were frayed, the sledging no doubt ripe.

Welcome it or not, it will add additional edge to the series....

I really think the series starts off only with this test.Since both teams have staved off a whitewash,they will play the game seriously now.Ashwin should be playing this test,as jadeja was not exactly spinning the ball and many english players have often had trouble reading the carrom ball,so ashwin stands a better chance to scalp wickets.

Match begins in: 8 hours   

Excited for this. I hope poms can muster up some runs without the help of their best batsman, Jimmeh Anderson  ;D

Seriously, their batsmen really need to step up. I hope the pitch is good this time.

England win the Toss and will bowl on a grassy Pitch..
India and England are both unchanged.
I would have loved Aaron and Ashwin's inclusion instead of Binny and Jadeja.
