Brandon McCullum has a dangerous trick, Shubman Gill will have to prepare the plan, tension before the third Test!

New Delhi. Hurt by 336 runs defeated by 336 runs in the second Test match of the five -match series against India, England have demanded the helping pitch of fast bowlers for the third Test match starting at Lord’s from 10 July. The return of fast bowler Joffra Archer in England’s XI is almost certain, while Gas Atkinson has also returned to the team. England wants him to get a helpful pitch for fast bowlers. In such a situation, Shubman Gill will also have to prepare his plan.

Archer is ready to return to the test after recovering from elbow and back injuries for a long time. He played his last Test in February 2021. Atkinson missed the second test due to the problem of hamstring (muscle stretch). With his return, the team is expected to strengthen the fast bowling attack. England coach Brandon McCullum said that he wants a ‘slightly higher speed, bounce and swing’ pitch from MCC’s main groundsman Carl McDermot.

He cited last month’s World Test Championship Final, where Pat Cummins and Kagiso Rabada managed to swing the ball. “It will be a blockbuster in any way,” McCullum told ‘ESPNcricinfo’. I think if the pitch helps the fast bowlers, it will be a great match. ”

England had earlier preferred flat pitches suited to their aggressive sports style. The team won by five wickets in the first Test played on a high bouncing pitch in Leeds, while Edgbaston’s ‘subcontinent conditions’ faced a crushing defeat. Archer practiced with England before the second Test. McCullum said, “He will definitely be available for selection.” He said, “Our fast bowlers have done well in two Tests. We need to keep an eye on Etkinson’s recovery from injury. “
