Any Test Match at Lord's is an unforgettable one for both fans and players, and this week's match between England and Sri Lanka promises to be no exception! It's always interesting to see how the visiting XI performs at a venue rich in history while also providing opportunities for pace bowlers with a slope and batters with the wicket's true and consistent nature. Despite the stormy conditions in Manchester, the first Test proved to be an entertaining match in which both teams had to be patient. England is in excellent form in this format at home, but they will not be at full strength once more, so there may be an opportunity for the tourists.

SL vs ENG Probable Winners:

Sri Lanka trailed throughout the first Test but responded admirably with the strike in both innings. As a result, if they can get off to an excellent start at Lord's this week, they have the potential to run England close. The hosts will miss Mark Wood's outright pace, which adds to a long injury list, but we believe they will have enough to win. Considering the team combination, England is expected to win this match.
