London, July 9 -- Ahead of his side's third Test against England at Lord's, Indian wicketkeeper-batter and vice-captain Rishabh Pant spoke on the ball getting out of shape too much during the matches, saying that such things have never happened and it is "not good for cricket".

The third Test between India and England will take place at Lord's from Thursday onwards. With the series one-one each, Team India heads into the match with massive morale, having won two of their last three matches at Lord's.

So far in the series, the Dukes ball has frequently become out of shape, causing a lot of trouble to bowlers, who are not entitled to a ball change every time they need it. A new ball is usually introduced 80 overs into an innings.
