After England's dominant win in the first Test, they’ll be looking to seal the series early; but not without drama. Captain Joe Root dropped fast bowler Brydon Carse after a video surfaced of him in handcuffs outside a nightclub. Root wasn’t holding back; calling it “unacceptable.” The team is trying to refocus on cricket after a string of off-field incidents; from curfew breaks to altercations; that have overshadowed their performance. Josh Tongue said Root’s talk was “needed” and “resonated” with the squad. Now, they’re hoping a win at Lord’s will shift the spotlight back where it belongs. For Indian fans, the match will be streamed live on SonyLiv. Pakistan’s Babar Azam might return from injury; adding spice to a series that’s already packed with tension, talent, and trouble.
