ENG vs IND 3rd Test Match：Day 5

Stumps：England beat India by 22 runs.

Chasing just 135, India were favorites heading into Day 5, but England had other ideas. Jofra Archer, back in whites after four years, made an instant impact by sending Rishabh Pant’s off stump flying in just his first over. It set the tone for a fiery morning where wickets tumbled fast. Ben Stokes then turned the screws, removing KL Rahul via a gutsy review and bowling marathon spells like a man who didn’t believe in limits. At one point, a coach had to remind him he’s human.

India’s hopes rested on Ravindra Jadeja, who once again showed his class with a gutsy 61 not out. He fought tooth and nail, first with Reddy and then with Bumrah, carefully building partnerships and playing smart cricket. But England kept coming. Chris Woakes found an edge to dismiss Reddy. Then, after 131 balls of resistance, Stokes finally got Bumrah with a short ball, and Bashir, playing through a fractured finger, bowled the No. 11 to end the match. India all out for 170. England won by just 22 runs. Lord’s went wild. And Stokes? Too tired to celebrate. So his team ran to him instead.

GET IN! 🦁

ENG vs IND 3rd Test Match：Day 4

Stumps：India need 135 runs.

India’s thrilling chase is down to the wire after a whirlwind Day 4 at Lord’s saw 14 wickets tumble like dominoes! England were rolled for 192 in their second innings, thanks in no small part to Washington Sundar, whose 4-for-22 spell was pure magic, taking out heavy hitters like Root, Stokes, and Smith. With both teams tied on first-innings scores (387 apiece), India now needs 135 to win, but they’re wobbling at 58 for 4. Carse was electric late in the day, snatching two wickets in four overs, and Stokes delivered a final sting by castling nightwatcher Akash Deep.

Earlier, England had a shaky morning, losing Duckett and Pope early to Siraj and Bumrah’s fiery pace. Crawley and Brook tried to steady the ship, but India kept chipping away. Brook briefly entertained with a flurry of boundaries before being bowled trying to sweep Akash Deep. Then it was the Washington show post-lunch, cleaning up Root and Smith and wrapping up England’s innings with precision. With just six wickets left, India’s chase is on, but they’ll need grit and a bit of magic to pull off a win at this historic ground.

ENG vs IND 3rd Test Match：Day 3

Stumps：England lead by 2 runs.

This Test match at Lord’s is turning into an epic tale of fine margins and dramatic flair. India matched England’s 387, thanks to a century from KL Rahul, who played both anchor and artist. But the real chaos began when Pant tried to sneak a single to help Rahul get his ton before lunch, only to be met with a lightning-fast Ben Stokes and a direct hit that said, “Not today.” Archer then took over with a furious four-over spell that had Lord’s echoing with every ball. The man was hitting 150kph on a tired pitch, pure theatre.

Still, the day ended in deadlock, with England quietly strolling to 2 without loss. Crawley and Duckett milked every second, dragging their heels and the over rate, clearly not in a hurry to bat. Tensions simmered. Tempers flared. Jadeja’s calm 72 felt like the glue in India’s innings, holding it all together as wickets fell in clumps around him. With everything even after three days, this Test is now on a knife’s edge, balanced perfectly, with enough firepower left on both sides to tilt it either way.

That is just outrageous! 😱

ENG vs IND 3rd Test Match：Day 2

Stumps：India trail by 242 runs.

Day Two at Lord’s had all the drama you’d expect: fast bowling fireworks, comeback stories, and one seriously annoyed KL Rahul who simply refused to budge. England posted a hefty 387, thanks to a classy Joe Root century (his 37th!) and handy knocks from Carse and Smith. But the day truly belonged to Jasprit Bumrah, who stormed back with a five-for and scribbled his name on the Lord’s honours board like he was born to do it. Siraj and Reddy chipped in too, but Bumrah’s mix of swing, seam, and swagger was next-level stuff.

India’s reply was wobbly at first, with Jaiswal and Gill falling to Archer’s thunderbolts, but KL Rahul stood tall like a monk in chaos 53* at stumps, cool as you like. Karun Nair played a steady hand with 40, while Rishabh Pant, bandaged but brave, hung in there on 19*. The deficit still stands at 242 runs, but India has hope, and it’s currently batting at the crease with calm eyes and a straight bat.

ENG vs IND 3rd Test Match：Day 1

Stumps：England chose to bat.

So much for Bazball! England hit the brakes at Lord’s, trading flair for focus as they ended Day One on 251 for 4 against India. Joe Root was the rock in the middle, finishing just one run short of a century; his 37th in Tests and potentially his eighth at Lord’s. It was England’s slowest full day of batting in the McCullum era, but Root and Ollie Pope showed serious grit, putting on 109 for the third wicket. Mohammed Siraj tried to stir things up with some cheeky stump-mic banter, calling out for more “entertaining cricket,” while Shubman Gill dubbed it the return of “boring Test cricket.” England, unbothered, just kept grinding.

India bowled with discipline on a sluggish surface, and while their strike duo Siraj and Akash Deep went wicketless, they still managed to keep England from running away. Nitish Reddy made the biggest splash, grabbing two wickets in a single over, including a peach to get Crawley, and nearly bagged a third had Gill held onto a tough catch. Bumrah and Jadeja chipped in too, while Rishabh Pant’s injured finger saw Dhruv Jurel step in behind the stumps and take a sharp catch. With Ben Stokes nursing a groin issue and Root eyeing a milestone, Day Two promises more drama…if not more speed.

ENG vs IND 2025 3rd Test: Can India beat England once again at Lord’s?

The third match of the India tour of England series will take place at Lord’s Cricket Ground, where the two teams had previously met in 2021. Back then, India, playing as the visiting team, defeated England by a convincing margin of 151 runs despite England having the home advantage. On July 10th, the teams will meet again at Lord’s, with India still playing as the away team. Will England manage to turn the tables and claim victory this time?

England’s Key Players to Watch

• Joe Root (Batter) – The former captain loves Lord’s, with its true bounce suiting his elegant drives. His experience in big games is vital.
• James Anderson (Pacer) – Even at 43, his mastery of swing at Lord’s (where he averages 24) makes him a threat.
• Ollie Pope (Batter) – Excels against spin; his quick footwork could counter India’s spinners on a wearing Day 4-5 pitch.
• Stuart Broad (Pacer) – His height and seam movement off the slope are deadly here (remember his 8/15 vs Aus?).

India’s Key Players to Watch

• Virat Kohli (Batter) – Chases legacy; his 2018 century here shows he can dominate even in swing-friendly Lord’s.
• Jasprit Bumrah (Pacer) – Reverse swing and yorkers on the abrasive Lord’s pitch could rip through England’s middle order.
• Ravindra Jadeja (All-rounder) – Batting depth + left-arm spin that thrives on uneven bounce later in the game.
• Mohammed Shami (Pacer) – His seam position and old-ball skills are perfect for Lord’s slope-assisted movement.

Although Lord’s didn’t host its first international match until 1884, it gradually gained popularity and became a favored venue for major games. Over the years, it has hosted numerous significant matches, including the finals of the Cricket World Cup on three occasions: in 1983, 1999, and 2019.
