Sri Lanka tour of England 2024, 2nd Test:

  • Start Date and Time: August 29: 10:00 am GMT/ 11:00 am local/ 03:30 pm IST
  • Venue: Lord’s Cricket Ground, London

Lord’s Pitch Report:

The pitch at Lord’s Cricket Ground is expected to provide significant assistance to fast bowlers early in the match, especially with the new ball. However, as the summer progresses, the pitch is likely to become more batting-friendly, offering batsmen more opportunities to score runs.

If the weather remains dry and sunny, the pitch may deteriorate further, bringing spinners into play. Overall, Lord’s is known for producing balanced contests between bat and ball, offering a challenging yet rewarding experience for both sides.
