England in Trouble at Lord’s as India Turn Up the Heat in Third Test

England find themselves in a tough spot at Lord’s as they aim to set a competitive target for India in the fourth innings of the third Test. Indian captain Shubman Gill was visibly frustrated by what appeared to be deliberate time-wasting from Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett.

Only one over could be bowled before stumps, with England ending the day holding a narrow two-run lead. India struck early on Day 4, as Mohammed Siraj removed Duckett for 12 and gave him a fiery send-off, setting the tone for the morning session.

With the pitch beginning to show signs of uneven bounce and turn, batting last is expected to be a stern challenge for India. The visitors will be aiming to bundle England out as cheaply as possible to stay in control of the contest.

Ben Stokes-Led England Fought Back on Day 3 with the Ball

Earlier on Day 3 of the third Test, England, led by Ben Stokes, fought their way back into the match by breaking a crucial 141-run stand between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant. Stokes made a significant impact with a brilliant direct hit to run out Pant.

Shoaib Bashir dismissed Rahul shortly after his century, having him caught in the slips. Bashir later suffered a finger injury while attempting to catch Ravindra Jadeja. The Men in Blue were eventually bowled out for 387 runs, with key contributions from KL Rahul (100), Rishabh Pant (74), and Ravindra Jadeja (72).

Chris Woakes was the standout performer for the hosts, finishing with figures of 3 for 84 in his 27 overs. Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer claimed two wickets each.
