The West Indies head to the home of cricket riding the crest of a wave following their exemplary victory over the English in the second test. Few expected the series to go to a decider at Lords but with the scores level at one a piece, the spectacle will be thrilling. England are the test series betting favourites, but as we saw at Headingly, do not rule out the Windies just yet.

Key Players to Watch

Shai Hope’s stunning 118 not out knock for the Windies was the base of his sides victory and he will be looking to emulate that performance. Shannon Gabriel was the stand out bowler taking six of England’s wickets and is the pace bowler to watch out for. All-rounder for England Ben Stokes is a key threat for the Windies after still notching a ton in his underperforming side in the second test.

Both Teams Recent Form

With the series level at 1-1, it is the West Indies who enter the match with the better recent form. However, England ran riot in the first test winning by a whopping innings and 209 runs. That, coupled with victory over South Africa this year count heavily in England’s favour.

England vs West Indies Head-to-Head

The two sides have a long history of test cricket. However, remarkably, the second test of this series marked the first time the West Indies had claimed victory over England as tourists in a test match since 2000. Prior to that, the pair competed in the Wisden trophy in the Caribbean in 2015 in a tied 1-1 series.

England vs West Indies Prediction

One of the test series predictions is that the English should bounce back from what was deemed as a freak loss to the Windies last time out. Such was England’s dominance in the first test that it is hard to see that form disappearing for a second straight match. The Caribbean side are without the big hitters of yesteryear and at Lords, England will get the job done.

England vs West Indies Betting Tips

Thanks to the levelled series, there is value to be had in a number of places. England to win the five-day contest at 30/100 with Betway looks a decent price considering the sides man for man advantage over their opponents. Fast bowler James Anderson also goes well at Lords so back him to be the three-lion’s top bowler and his side to win at 3/1 with William Hill.
