The waiting is over as England return to Test action at the Home of Cricket this summer.  Last summer saw the West Indies and Sri Lanka were vanquished.  In 2025 the red-ball action goes up a notch with a showdown against India taking place from Thursday 10 July to Monday 14 July.  A packed crowd is expected at NW8 for an England Test match at Lord’s between two age-old rivals. 

PREVIEW – ENGLAND TEST MATCH LORD’S

England’s Men welcome India to the Home of Cricket on Thursday 10 July as part of a five match Test match series in the summer of 2025.  India will be hoping for a repeat of their thrilling day five win in 2021.

England will aim to continue the scintillating home form at Lord’s they rediscovered in the first of three Test matches against the West Indies in 2024.  The West Indies were no match for an England side in which James Anderson made his final appearance after a stellar career.  Anderson bowed out with four wickets, to take his tally to an astonishing 704 wickets in a Test career spanning over two decades.  Meanwhile Gus Atkinson plundered twelve wickets in total as the West indies were well and truly outplayed in the first of three Tests between the sides.

And it was Atkinson who went on to star against Sri Lanka, producing another stunning performance in his debut summer as an England Test cricketer.  Atkinson scored a maiden hundred and took five wickets in the second innings.  England won by 190 runs.

In 2025, attention turns towards the visit of cricketing powerhouse India.  The showdown at Lord’s is the third game of a five match Test series which starts at Headingly on Friday 20 June, before heading to Edgbaston at the beginning of July.  

Who will come out in top in this latest edition of a historic cricketing rivalry?  All will be revealed over the next five days on the hallowed Lord’s turf in St John’s Wood.

The MCC Museum is open to all ticket holders during the duration of the match.  Located behind the Pavilion it’s a treasure trove of cricketing history housing an extraordinary collection of memorabilia.
