Everything around it has set up the environment wonderfully. The venue is Lord's. This is the 2000th Test, and the 100th between the two teams. The No. 1 ranking is at stake in the series. As this game often does, this series presents individual excitement too. Sachin Tendulkar could score his 100th international hundred possibly at Lord's, where he has never scored one.
Duncan Fletcher, coaching a team for the 100th time in Tests, is plotting against a side whose revival he played a major part in. The man he kept out of his English team, Graeme Swann, is now their lead spinner and the best spinner in the world according to the ICC rankings. MS Dhoni comes with a winning record in Test series. This could be the last time that Lord's gets to watch Rahul Dravid, VVS Laxman and Tendulkar.
