Weather at London

Pitch Report: Since it has rained so much since the past two days, the track at Lord's Cricket Ground is expected to be on a slower side with green grasses. The pitch will be a paradise for pacers and the team winning the toss should bowl first and restrict the opposition side on a lower total.

Tim Paine's Australia side will look forward to taking a 2-0 lead in the 5 match Test Series. On the other hand, Joe Root side must have worked on their previous match batting woes and are expected to display better performance in this match. But most importantly, both for fans and players of both sides, the weather should be in favour of the game for the 2nd Test match to produce some result.
