Drifting away from the tried and tested method was an option when Shubman Gill and Co outbatted them to level the series 1-1 at Edgbaston a few days ago. But it was highly unlikely for them to go for it, especially for the Lord's Test, where the strip was being touted to be more conducive for the bowlers in comparison to previous two surfaces.
