Lord's, London Pitch Report 

The surface at the Lord's Cricket Ground in London is generally a balanced surface. There is pace, bounce and movement available with the new ball. However, the spinners and batters can be effective after the first few overs. 

There is some dryness in the pitch that makes the pitch slow as the game progresses. Hence, chasing is difficult here as the batting first team has been more successful at the venue.
