IND vs ENG Highlights: India’s hopes of clinching a famous victory at Lord’s were dashed on the final day of the third Test, as England held their nerve to register a tense 22-run win and take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. Despite a valiant effort from Ravindra Jadeja (61), India fell short in their chase of 193, ending an intense battle at the home of cricket.

Chasing 193 for victory on the final day, India were firmly in the contest at one point. However, what followed was an unexpected and shocking collapse. The Indian batting unit, known for its resilience in recent overseas outings, crumbled under pressure, losing wickets in clusters and surrendering the advantage.

Disastrous start to Day 5

India endured a disastrous start to Day 5 of the high-stakes third Test at Lord’s, losing three key wickets in under 40 minutes.

Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul, and Washington Sundar all fell in quick succession during the opening session, pushing India into serious trouble and putting their hopes of back-to-back Test wins in England under immense threat.

Jofra Archer delivered a fiery spell with the ball, dismissing Pant with a delivery that jagged in sharply and then pulling off a spectacular catch to send Sundar packing. The pressure kept mounting as KL Rahul fell soon after, trapped by a sharp piece of thinking from England skipper Ben Stokes, who nailed a timely DRS review to get the decision in his team’s favour.
