The MCC has allowed its members to go jacketless in the Pavilion, that’s how hot it’s expected to get at Lord’s. The second Test of the summer at this historic ground already carries a different weight, not the ceremonial grandeur of last month’s WTC Final, but the sharp edge of a contest after two rounds of traded blows. The series, level, now moves to a ground…
