The fifth and final day of the 3rd Test at Lord’s has been a tense affair, with England inching closer to victory but India showing grit in the face of adversity. Chasing 193 for a famous win, India began the day at 58/4, needing another 135 runs on a pitch offering variable bounce. However, early wickets dented their hopes.
India lost Rishabh Pant (9), KL Rahul (39), and Washington Sundar (0) in quick succession during the first hour. Pant, battling a finger injury, was bowled by Jofra Archer after striking two crisp boundaries. Rahul fell lbw to Ben Stokes, with the DRS overturning the on-field decision. India collapsed to 112/8 when Nitish Reddy edged Woakes to the keeper just before lunch.
Post-lunch, Jasprit Bumrah joined Ravindra Jadeja with India still over 80 runs adrift. The pair offered brief resistance, rotating strike smartly, and frustrating England. Bumrah, though largely solid in defense, fell attempting a pull shot off Stokes, leaving India 9 down.
Jadeja stood firm, completing a fourth consecutive fifty in the series. He was joined by Mohammed Siraj as India reached 163/9 at tea. England introduced spin through Root and brought back Shoaib Bashir despite his injured hand, but Jadeja remained resolute, refusing risky singles and carefully shielding Siraj.
As the final session looms, India still need 30 runs with one wicket in hand. England are favourites, but Jadeja’s defiance has ensured a dramatic finish is on the cards at Lord’s.
