England v India 3rd Test Match Cricket Betting Tips 10/07/2025

England face India in a crucial third Test at Lord’s with the series well poised at 1-1, so here’s our England v India 3rd Test Match Cricket Betting Tips. Having thrown away a position of strength after a fine performance at Headingley, England have left themselves with plenty to do to reclaim their lead in the five-match series. India came roaring back in Birmingham last week, dominating from start to finish in a show of their strength in this series. With players returning, could India gain a further edge in this clash? England vs India begins at 11 a.m. and will be shown live on Sky Sports.

Form & Team News

England have had a rollercoaster start to this series against India. The hosts began positively at Headingley and hit back against a tough India side to eventually win by five wickets. However, the Three Lions couldn’t show the same resilience at Edgbaston in the second match. England were completely outplayed from start to finish, losing by a huge total of 336 runs. India recovered from their disappointing collapse at Leeds to produce one of their finest overseas performances in recent memory at Edgbaston. The victory was built on magnificent batting displays, with Shubman Gill scoring the second-most runs in a Test match ever to leave England chasing over 600 in under four sessions. More impressive was how India’s bowling attack managed to take 20 wickets on a batting-friendly Edgbaston pitch, even without their star bowler Jasprit Bumrah. 

England changes are likely and Jofra Archer and Gus Atkinson are likely to come into the Three Lions’ bowling attack. India will be boosted by the return of Jasprit Bumrah. 

Match Winner Bet

England remain the betting favourites to win the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy, despite a heavy defeat at Edgbaston. The hosts were outplayed in all departments and looked short of ideas against India’s world-class batting lineup. However, England will be boosted by the fact they have won their last two tests at Lord’s by convincing scorelines, thrashing Sri Lanka by 190 runs and the West Indies by an innings and 114 runs. At 19/20, BresBet have the best price for a home win. After a commanding win last week, it’s hard to see anything other than an India win in London. The tourists’ batting order hit seven centuries among them, and Bumrah’s return will only boost India’s chances here. In addition, India have won on two of their last three visits to Lord’s. Back India to assert their dominance against a struggling England in the third test, with AK Bets offering good value odds of 6/4,

Team of Top Batsman Betting

India’s batting unit has been in sensational form throughout this series and looks well-placed to dominate again at Lord’s. Shubman Gill has 585 runs across the first two Tests of this series, including a mammoth 269 in the first innings at Edgbaston and England have rarely created chances against the Indian captain. The tourists’ top order has been relentless in their run-scoring and should continue to flourish on a traditionally batting-friendly Lord’s surface. India’s collective batting strength makes them the standout pick for the team of top batsman, with Sky Bet offering 11/10 odds for the visitors to outscore England’s batting lineup again.

Man of the Match

Jamie Smith leads all England players with 356 runs across four innings and looks in good touch ahead of this crucial third Test. He’s not scored fewer than 40 runs in an innings so far this series, and passed 50 in both outings at Edgbaston. Smith, batting at number seven usually, could rise up England’s order at Lord’s, possibly giving him more opportunity to attack India’s bowlers early on. A Smith man of the match performance remains a relative long shot, so it may be worth a small outlay, as Star Sports are offering 18/1 odds. Shubman Gil is the man of the moment for India. The new captain dominated England with 269 and 161 in Birmingham. That performance earned him the Player of the Match award for the second test. Gill has been in sublime form throughout this series, racking up a series high 585 runs in just two games. It’s worth sticking with another Gill stunner at Lord’s with Star Sports providing 10/1 odds for another outstanding display.
