Lord’s Cricket Ground, London: Pitch Report
The historic Lord’s Cricket Ground offers conditions that slightly favour the batters. The dimensions of the ground are not the largest, helping batters get good value off their shots, which is also aided by the quicker outfield. The bowlers, however, are never completely out of the game due to the infamous slope present at the venue.
