Indian batters failed to stand the test of England pacers led by Jofra Archer on a spicy day five pitch to slide to the brink of defeat in the third Test. Chris Woakes had Nitish Reddy caught behind at the stroke of lunch to leave India tottering at 112 for eight chasing 193.
Starting the day at 58 for four and needing another 135 runs on a rapidly deteriorating surface with variable bounce, India needed their experienced batters to fire for their fourth success at the iconic ground since 1932 but it was not to be.
The loss of Rishabh Pant (9 off 12 balls), K L Rahul (39 off 58) and Washington Sundar (0 off 4) inside the first hour made chasing 193 an improbable task for India.
The key for India was the presence of Rahul and Pant in the middle but both departed in a space of 18 balls. They needed to see out Archer's spell but the tearaway pacer struck twice in a fiery spell to put England on top.
Pant, who injured his left index finger while keeping on day one, clearly looked in discomfort facing the extreme pace of Archer, wincing his hand in pain every time the ball hurried on to his bat.
Pant tried his best to make a difference, collecting a couple of fours via a flick and a one-handed drive off the Barbados-born bowler.
Archer, making a Test comeback after more than four years, flaunted his X-factor once again as he produced a beauty to send back a half-fit Pant back into the dressing room.
The ball straightened just enough from the angle to shatter Pant's off-stump.
Considering the occasion and the high intensity of players from both teams, it was not a surprise to see Archer having a quick word to Pant as the wicket-keeper started his long walk back to the players' balcony via the legendary Long Room.
Rahul, at the other end, needed to hold the innings together but when he departed three overs after Pant's dismissal, the writing was on the wall.
England captain Ben Stokes bowled his heart out from the Nursery End and got the all important wicket of the in-form Rahul with a ball that seamed back profusely to trap him lbw.
The on-field umpire thought the ball was not hitting the stumps but Stokes got the decision overturned, drawing a loud roar from the crowd, through the DRS.

'Rishabh Pant made the call. Was an error...': Shubman Gill says 'KL Rahul was in danger' in 'turning point' at Lord's
The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between India and England is living up to the hype, and the five-match series is going down to the wire. The Lord's Test turned out to be a cracking contest as England went 2-1 up by registering a 22-run win at the home of cricket on Monday. After the loss in London, India captain Shubman Gill admitted that Rishabh Pant's run-out in the first innings turned out to be a game-changing moment. Shubman Gill said Rishabh Pant's run-out in the first innings turned out to be the game-changing moment in the Lord's Test. (PTI) In the first innings, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant were performing well, and India looked set to take a lead. However, on the cusp of the lunch break on Day 3, Rishabh Pant ran himself out as he tried to bring KL Rahul back on strike so that the latter could complete his century. A rocket throw from Ben Stokes at the non-striker's end caught Rishabh Pant short of the crease, and the left-hander walked back to the hut after scoring 74 runs off 112 balls with the help of eight fours and two sixes. Pant and Rahul put on 141 runs for the fourth wicket, but the run-out paved the way for England to sneak through the back door. Gill refused to pin the blame on KL Rahul, saying it was Rishabh Pant who made the call and asked the right-hander to charge for a run. Also Read: Shubman Gill breaks silence on 'grow some f*****g b***s' episode involving Zak Crawley "We always talk about keeping the team first. But I think it was more an error in judgment rather than someone thinking about their 100. KL Rahul might have told Rishabh 'It would be good if I complete my 100 before lunch. The batter feels the pressure when he is batting on 99. But I wouldn't say Rishabh Pant got out because of the personal milestone of KL Rahul," Gill told reporters. "It was an error of judgment. Rishabh made the call. The danger end was KL Bhai. I would say it was an error of judgment. It can happen to any batter," he added. Fitness update on Rishabh Pant There is also an injury scare surrounding Rishabh Pant after the wicketkeeper got hit on his hand while trying to collect a Jasprit Bumrah delivery. He then didn't do wicketkeeping in the remaining first and second innings. Dhruv Jurel came in as a substitute wicketkeeper, and he donned the gloves for India. However, Gill said there is nothing to worry about as Pant should be fit in time for the fourth Test in Manchester. 'Rishabh did go for the scans. There is nothing major there, so I think he should be fine for the next Test,' said Gill. Speaking of the Lord's Test between India and England, nothing separated the two teams after the first innings, as both sides posted 387 runs on the board. Washington Sundar then returned with four wickets in the second innings as India bundled out England for 192. However, India fell 22 runs short as they failed to chase 193. India were reduced to 112/8 at one stage in the final innings, but Ravindra Jadeja (61*) put in a valiant effort with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.

IND vs ENG 3rd Test: 'Don't just blame Day 5' - Dinesh Karthik explains how India lost grip on the Lord's Test
England's players celebrate their win against India (AP Photo/Richard Pelham) Former cricketers Dinesh Karthik and Nasser Hussain analyzed the crucial moments that determined the outcome of the third Test match at Lord's, where England secured a 22-run victory over India. Despite Ravindra Jadeja 's resistance with tail-enders Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, India fell short in their chase of 193 runs. India's batting collapse in the first innings proved costly as they went from 376/6 to 387 all out, matching England's total. KL Rahul 's dropped catch of Jamie Smith, who went on to score 51 runs, also impacted the game significantly. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! "If you are going to judge the match based on what happened today, I think you are looking at the wrong side. You have got to look at 376-6 in the first innings to 387 all out. Again a bit of a mini-collapse. The catch that KL Rahul dropped, Jamie Smith on five," Karthik said on Sky Sports. "How much do those things matter to you? Those are the conversations you need to have. There were moments India could have gone ahead and couldn't for the third time this series," Karthik added. Hussain highlighted the run-out of India's vice-captain Rishabh Pant by England captain Ben Stokes as a pivotal moment.

Extremely crucial Somewhat crucial Not very crucial On the final day, Stokes and Jofra Archer reduced India to 82/7 in the opening hour. Despite Jadeja's unbeaten 61, India's hopes were dashed when Shoaib Bashir dismissed Siraj. "This will be a tough one for India to take. If we had those pie charts up about who has won sessions in this series, they have won so many sessions. They have played so much good cricket. But they are 2-1 down because of the key moments - little collapses, dropped catches, Pant's run out here at Lord's. India need a break. If we had back-to-back Test matches, this would he hard for them," Hussain concluded. For real-time updates, scores, and highlights, follow our live coverage of the India vs England Test match here.

IND vs ENG 3rd Test: ‘I told him...' – Jofra Archer reveals what he told Rishabh Pant
England bowler Jofra Archer celebrates with Ben Stokes (Photo by) England fast bowler Jofra Archer marked his return to test cricket after 4.5 years with a match-winning performance against India at Lord's on Monday, taking five wickets to help secure a 22-run victory and 2-1 series lead. The performance came exactly six years after Archer helped England win their first Cricket World Cup at the same venue. Archer made an immediate impact on the final day, removing Rishabh Pant 's off stump and taking a one-handed caught-and-bowled to dismiss Washington Sundar early in the morning session. Working with captain Ben Stokes , Archer helped reduce India from their overnight score of 58-4 to 82-7 in the first 40 minutes. India, chasing 193, was eventually bowled out for 170. "Yeah, part of the reason I went with Jof this morning ... six years ago now to the day," said Stokes. "He played a major role, and I had a feeling he'd do something special and crack the game open."

Archer consistently troubled the Indian batsmen with speeds reaching 90 mph (145 kph), though Stokes managed his workload carefully with five-over spells spaced well apart. "I had a gut feeling that Jof's going to do something in his first game back," Stokes said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Our one of a kind Patented Cold Water Extraction Process Superior Ginseng Undo "Every time he's announced on the tannoy, the ground erupts, and when the speeds go up on the screen, the feeling changes." The careful management of his bowling spells frustrated Archer, but he understood the precaution given his history of elbow and back injuries. "It was pretty hectic, for the first game back," Archer told Sky Sports. "I probably bowled a few more overs than I thought I would've but every single one mattered today so I'm not too fussed about it. Only played one test at Lord's and that one was just as special as this one. It's been a long time coming, a lot of rehab, a lot of training. But moments like this make it worth it." Archer remained confident about his return to test cricket despite his last test being in February 2021 in Ahmedabad and his previous home test in August 2020. "I'm not totally out of the woods yet but it's a good start," he said. "The style of cricket that this team plays, it means I'm going to bowl a lot of overs!" Poll Do you believe Jofra Archer is back to his best form? Yes, he's back! Not yet, but close No, he needs more time The match was marked by verbal exchanges, particularly after Archer dismissed Pant and Sundar. "We came together as a group yesterday and said, you know, sometimes we're too nice. We go to other places and some teams are not as nice to us as we are to them so I guess we just tried to shift it. I don't know if it gave us a bit more of a buzz in the field or not but we will keep it in the bank for the future!" Regarding his exchange with Pant, Archer said: "It wasn't a proud moment. I just told him to cherish that moment. He came down the track and that annoyed me a little bit so when the ball nipped down the slope, I was so grateful." "Managing the workload is still very hard, being told you can bowl some days and not others," Archer added about his ongoing recovery process.
