West Indies

In this match, West Indies will start with their captain Kraigg Brathwaite, and rookie Mikyle Louis. With players like Kirk McKenzie, Kavem Hodge, and Alick Althanaze in the playing XI, they have an inexperienced middle order. Jason Holder and keeper Joshua Da Silva will give their batting lineup more depth and experience. 

With Jason Holder in the starting lineup, Alzarri Joseph, Shamar Joseph, and Jayden Seales will make up a potent core of pace. Gudakesh Motie and Kevin Sinclair will compete for the playing XI’s lone spinner position.

ENG vs WI outfield report

Lord’s London

If either captain wins the toss, they will both try to bat first because the first two or three days of the match will be ideal for batting.  The weather predictors predict that London will see bright and sunny weather for the first two days, followed by overcast and dark conditions for the next two days. 

Historically, Lord’s has had a solid pitch that balances the bat and ball. To aim the bowlers, batsmen must be able to see through the new ball spell.
