🏏England vs India, 3rd Test Day 5, Lords - Jul10- 14 - Page 46

Dinesh Karthik says the innings started 90 seconds after schedule

Andy: "Some stunning hypocrisy on show from both sides here - love to see it!"

Another fascinating day of play at Lord's. This Test has been a slow-burn, but things are shaping up nicely going into the last two days. No way to say which team is ahead at this point. They couldn't be separated on first innings with India also finishing on the same total as England - 387. There were ebbs and flows throughout the day. The visitors dominated to begin with as KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant thwarted everything that England threw at them with the old ball.However, a run out on the stroke of lunch courtesy a piece of brilliance from captain Ben Stokes gave them the opening they desperately needed. Rahul soon departed after lunch, immediately falling after raising his second hundred of the series.But if England hoped that they could blow the lower middle order away, that wasn't the case. Ravindra Jadeja defied them, compiling useful partnerships with Nitish Reddy and Washington Sundar to ensure that they ended the day on level terms.

Another 10 overs lost today after multiple stoppages. The time lost on all three days combined, it amounts to more than a session lost because of over rate. But it's not easy on the players in this heat either. And there isn't much there for spin, so pacers are doing most of the running. Thankfully the action on the field has been engrossing enough. So that's all for today. Back tomorrow to see how it all unfolds. Goodbye!

Same scores made me

Hope ind wins

Cant see eng winning

Pant and Jadeja have done a good job in taking India's score closer to England's first innings' score.

The match is in the balance and it is totally anyone's game now.

Cheers..

Great day by our 3rd Level team >> in 88 ovs we have pile up 450/6 also in england, without Vaibhav Suryavanshi's help

Back to the point, what a innings by Pant/ Jadoo ( 3rd 50 in 3 innings) & Rahul

Very rarely, it happens, scores are levelled and now Eng lead by 2 runs!

Woakes, Carse and Archer ended India's first innings quickly in the last session.

Now, the match is balanced; let us see.

IND 387

ENG 387 & 2/0 (1)

CRR: 2

Day 3: Stumps - England lead by 2 runs

2 minutes silence for me,I missed this udta Panjab jab from Gill

Grow some 🏀

Koi bataye ga please..day ke last over me kya kya hua? Some heated argument or what?
