Sports News: After India's historic win at Edgbaston on Sunday, former English fast bowler Stuart Broad has issued a warning to the Ben Stokes-led England team. India won the match by a massive margin of 336 runs and recorded their biggest victory away from home. India's captain, Shubman Gill, led from the front and provided India the first win in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. With the next match at the iconic Lord's, India leveling the series has made the competition even more anticipated. Ahead of the much-awaited test, Broad has called India's bowling unit "dangerous."
Broad's Warning to England
India's dominance with the ball in both innings has left Stuart Broad a bit worried. "This Indian attack would worry me if I was in that England batting line-up," said Broad to Sky Sports after India's impeccable win. "The ball just nips down that slope at Lord's. Akash Deep brings those stumps into play, and if it swings, Bumrah will be lethal with the late movement." Akash Deep claimed a historic 10-wicket haul in the Edgbaston test." England plays well at Lord's, but this Indian attack—especially with Bumrah's back—could pose a serious threat.
India's possible team combination
With Jasprit Bumrah set to return, one bowler will make way for him. It is certain that Mohammad Siraj and Akash Deep will play after a commendable performance. Prasidh Krishna, who had a disappointing outing at Edgbaston, will most likely make way for Bumrah. Former England skipper Mark Butcher said that India are unlikely to make many changes. "Bumrah will come back; rest everything will be the same," he added. Kumar Sangakkara agreed with the former and said that Prisidh might make way for Bumrah, with India opting to retain Washington Sundar at no.8 for the balance he provides.
Last time when the two teams met at Lord's
The last time the two teams played each other at the home of cricket, the visitors came out on top. The iconic team huddle with Virat Kohli as the skipper said, "For sixty overs they should feel hell out there." And his bowlers actually did it, bowling England out for 120 and winning the match by a massive 151 runs. Both teams will meet again at Lord's on Wednesday and will look to take the all-important lead in the series.
