IND vs ENG Key battles:
Shubman Gill vs Chris Woakes
The captain of the Indian Test team, Shubman Gill, who scored more than 400 runs in the last match, will look to carry that form in the next game at Lord's.
Gill will be up against Chris Woakes, who bowled well in the second match but wasn't able to pick a lot of wickets, courtesy of certain decisions that could have gone either way.
Rishabh Pant vs Ben Stokes
India's vice-captain Rishabh Pant scored an entertaining half-century at a rapid rate in the second which gave India the much-needed momentum while setting a target for England.
The left-hander has already scored two hundred and one fifty in four innings in the series so far and would wish to build on the form he is in.
Pant will once again face the challenge of Ben Stokes, who looked bamboozled by the batter's attacking approach in the second innings.
Joe Root vs Akash Deep
The ball that Akash Deep bowled to get rid of Root in the second innings was a treat to watch as the batter looked shell-shocked to receive such an unplayable delivery.
The battle, which will resume in the third Test, will be a mouth-watering one given the quality of the batter and the form that Akash Deep is in.
Harry Brook vs Jasprit Bumrah
Harry Brook, who was involved in a 300-run partnership with Jamie Smith, would wish to get another big score under his belt in an important game in the context of the series.
Brook will have to tackle the bowling of Jasprit Bumrah, who will be a part of the playing XI for the third Test at Lord's.
The fast bowler will look to get the better of Brook after failing to do so in the first match, courtesy of a no-ball.
IND vs ENG Key Players:
IND- KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
ENG- Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue, Chris Woakes
IND vs ENG Weather Report:

Conclusion
India would like to take a crucial lead in the series courtesy of a win in the third Test at Lord's.
As far as England is concerned, the home team would be itching to bounce back after an embarrassing loss in the last game.
