The second Test between England and India will be played at Lord’s between July 12-16. The weather is expected to play a huge role over the next five days.

As per Accuweather, there is no rain predicted for the first day’s play. There is clear sunshine expected with temperatures in between 23 degrees Celsius. The forecast shows 0.0 mm precipitation with 76 percent humidity. A 76 percent cloud cover could be expected.
