There was absolute madness in the final half hour of Day 4 in the third Test at Lord's. After bowling England out for 192 and setting themselves a target of 193, India found themselves in serious trouble.
A dramatic top-order collapse left them reeling at 58 for 4 at stumps, still needing 135 runs to win on Monday's final day.

Despite the setback, India all-rounder
Washington Sundar
remains optimistic, believing India still have the firepower to pull off a memorable victory at Lord's.
India had seized control earlier in the day by bowling England out for just 192 in their second innings, with Sundar starring with a brilliant spell of 4 for 22.
But the momentum shifted late in the day when England picked up three wickets in the space of 30 minutes, tilting the balance slightly in their favour.

, Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Sundar himself yet to bat, the visitors still have depth in their lineup.

NHL Trade Rumor: Connor McDavid's loyalty tested as he reportedly chooses between Oilers loyalty and free agency freedom
Connor McDavid Expected to Sign Massive Extension with Oilers Despite Speculation (Getty Images) Connor McDavid isn't going anywhere—at least not anytime soon. Despite a wave of swirling rumors suggesting that the Edmonton Oilers captain could explore free agency or leave for a better shot at the Stanley Cup, trusted NHL insider Elliotte Friedman has all but shut the door on that speculation. Connor McDavid finally decides his NHL future—will Edmonton celebrate or crumble? According to Friedman, a new contract extension is very likely in the works for McDavid, which would secure the franchise star well beyond his current deal that runs through the 2025-26 season. 'I think I've been around long enough to know when there's fear of losing someone. I don't feel that here. I just don't. We'll see where this goes during the summer. This is not one I'm worried about. I'm not. I think he extends,' Friedman said, clearly confident in Edmonton's hold on their generational talent. The Oilers have faced back-to-back heartbreaks in their quest for a Stanley Cup, most recently falling short against the Florida Panthers in the Final. These high-profile losses have raised serious questions about whether the team can truly build a championship core around McDavid. Yet, despite the setbacks, the loyalty between the player and the organization seems stronger than ever. While McDavid is not a free agent—his contract runs for two more seasons—conversations about his long-term future have gained traction due to Edmonton's repeated playoff struggles. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 잦은 무릎통증.. 수술없이 / 단 1회 주사. 자가골수 치료법?? 무릎치료 30년 - 장덕한방병원 서초본원(서울,강남) 더 알아보기 Undo The idea of him testing free agency sparked fan debates and media narratives, but none of that seems to match the reality unfolding behind the scenes. The extension won't come without its complexities, though. Negotiating what could be the most lucrative contract in NHL history naturally involves time and precision. 'I just don't know what the term of that is going to be. I think there'll be no fight at all with McDavid. What do you want? Fine. What are we going to pay you? We'll do it. And again, I think he's going to sign. I just don't know the term. I'm not honestly,' Friedman explained. As it stands, fans in Edmonton can breathe easier. Their superstar, the face of the franchise and arguably the best player in the world, appears fully committed to chasing a title in an Oilers jersey.

Trump, joined by family and advisers, presented medals to players and handed Chelsea their championship trophy on Sunday.

Chelsea dominated the match, securing a 3-0 lead in the first half with Cole Palmer scoring twice and João Pedro adding another goal. The victory prevented PSG from claiming their fourth major title of the season, following their Ligue 1 win on April 5, Coupe de France victory over Reims, and Champions League triumph against Inter Milan. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "It remains my firm conviction that God alone saved me that day for a righteous purpose: to restore our beloved Republic to greatness and to rescue our Nation from those who seek its ruin," Trump stated after returning to Washington. Trump praised the first responders and rallygoers who helped others to safety during last year's assassination attempt, saying, "These men and women arrived at the rally grounds as ordinary Americans, but left as heroes." The sporting event also provided an opportunity for diplomatic discussions, with Trump envoy Steve Witkoff indicating plans to meet with Qatari officials regarding Gaza ceasefire negotiations. MetLife Stadium is set to host the 2026 World Cup final, which will be part of a tournament held across the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Trump has expressed plans to attend multiple matches during next year's World Cup, despite ongoing tensions with neighboring countries over tariffs and immigration issues. "Tension's a good thing," Trump remarked regarding the international situation surrounding the upcoming tournament. The president has frequently attended sporting events since taking office, including the Super Bowl in New Orleans, Daytona 500 in Florida, UFC fights in Miami and Newark, and NCAA wrestling championships in Philadelphia.
