England vs India Cricket Betting Tips 2nd Test Live Score

ENG vs IND Prediction: The first test between India and England had a shameful ending as rain played spoilsport on day 5. Both sides had chances of winning the match and a draw was never in the equation. But a full day of rain ensured that the points have to be split up. That result completely shifted the focus to Lord’s for the second test of this much-anticipated series. The home of cricket will host the two sides from Thursday for the second Test. Can India continue their good form yet again or will England have the final word? Let’s find out.

The first Test was a true indicator of how equally strong these two sides are. But the fact still remains that India has a slight upper hand over the hosts. If not for rain, we would have had India taking a 1-0 lead in this 5 match series. But unfortunately, that is not the case to be. They have a very balanced side and will be hoping to cross that final last step in this match if rain allows them to do so.

England on the other hand looked very out of form with the bat and few changes are expected in that department. They have also called Moeen Ali back into the side. So he may find a place in the eleven as well. So considering the equal depth of the side and the overcast conditions predicted, it is safe to bet for a draw.

But the prominent betting sites are predicting a draw.

Players who are expected to perform well as per ENG vs IND Dream11 Prediction.

Top Batsmen:

ENG

Joe Root: He was the man of the match in the last match and is England’s lone hope with the bat. He made a century in the last match and looks in great touch.

IND

KL Rahul: He, who replaced injured Shubman Gill and Mayank Agarwal looked a million dollars in the first test. Apart from the score that he made, it’s his technique and confidence that take the limelight. Expect a fine innings from KLassy Rahul at Lord’s.

Top Bowlers:

ENG

J Anderson: The legend is still going strong. He bamboozled Pujara and Kohli in a single over in the first test and has climbed up the ladders to the third position in the overall wicket-takers list in Test cricket.

IND

Jasprit Bumrah: Bumrah silenced all his critics in style in the last match. After the WTC final many wrote him off. He proved everyone wrong with his fiery spell. Expect the same from him at Lord’s as well.
