ENG vs IND Dream11 Prediction: Welcome to the second Test between England and India at the iconic Lords. The first test ended in a draw after the rain robbed us of what could have been a fascinating final day at Trent Bridge. India would feel slightly disappointed with that result as they were in the driver seat coming to the last day and would have loved to come to Lords being 1-0 up. The forecast at the moment is thankfully much better for this game although in England you never know what to expect with the weather. Let’s hope for an entertaining game of cricket.

The Lord’s pitch offers a good balance between bat and ball and that is likely to be the case again, particularly if some grass is left on, as it was earlier in the summer.
