IND vs ENG: What time will England vs India 3rd Test start? What are the session timings?
It's expected to be so hot in London this week that the MCC has allowed members to go jacketless in the Lord's Pavilion. The rising temperature mirrors the heat of the contest as India and England head into the third Test of the five-match series, tied at 1-1.
After two intense Tests in Leeds and Birmingham, the action moves to the iconic Lord's – a venue with its own quirks, especially the slope, which often influences the match.
India arrive with confidence, especially after their historic win at Edgbaston, the first-ever by an Asian side at the venue, achieved without
Jasprit Bumrah
. Now, with their pace spearhead returning, India seem more settled. England, meanwhile, have handed a comeback to
Jofra Archer
.
The pacer will be playing his first Test since 2021, fittingly returning to the ground where he made his memorable debut in 2019.

's form remains a big positive for India. His marathon effort of 430 runs in the last Test has rattled England. Their bowling unit has been under serious physical strain, having spent eight out of the last ten days in the field. Their flat-pitch strategy has started to backfire, giving India's new-look batting order room to grow.

Rishabh Pant: On talking to himself, stump mic chatter and India Playing XI
Lord's is expected to offer more to the bowlers early on. But one issue both sides will watch closely is the quality of the Dukes ball, which has tended to go soft quickly.
The crowd at Lord's will be fully behind England this time. With no ICC final atmosphere and loyalties split, this is a true home Test for the hosts. They need a quick response as pressure mounts.

Gautam Gambhir welcomes Jasprit Bumrah in front of Lord's Honours Board; India pacer then completes the formality
It is a dream for every cricketer to get on the Lord's Honours Board. Scoring a century or taking five wickets at the home of cricket is what gets you there. Some of the biggest names the sport has seen, such as Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar, aren't up there because they failed to score a ton at the iconic venue in London. It would have been a travesty if Jasprit Bumrah didn't get featured too, but the India pacer showed great mastery on Day 2 of the third Test against England, and as a result, he picked up a fifer. It was quite an occasion as Jasprit Bumrah finally got on the Lord's Honours Board(Screengrabs - BCCI X) Jasprit Bumrah produced two ripping deliveries to breach the defence of overnight batters Ben Stokes and Joe Root. After picking up a fifer, Jasprit Bumrah held the ball in his hands as he soaked in the atmosphere at Lord's. He also led the team off once India bundled out England for 387 in the first innings. Indian head coach Gautam Gambhir and bowling coach Morne Morkel also stood up to applaud Bumrah's efforts in the first innings. Once Bumrah arrived in the pavilion, Gambhir was seen waiting for him patiently near the Honours Board. Also Read: Jasprit Bumrah reveals reason behind no celebration despite five-wicket haul in Lord's Test Once Bumrah arrived, he got a hug from the Indian head coach and the rest of the support staff and non-playing members. Bumrah then eventually got his name up on the Honours Board, and he completed the formality by leaving his signature right up there. He also posed for the cameras and gave a big thumbs up. Jasprit Bumrah's reaction to taking fifer In the first innings of the Lord's Test, Jasprit Bumrah got the better of Harry Brook, Ben Stokes, Joe Root, Chris Woakes and Jofra Archer. He dismissed four of the five batters by rattling their stumps. Bumrah also went past Kapil Dev to register the most number of fifers by an Indian bowler in the SENA countries. It was due to his effort that India were able to restrict England to under 400 (387). At stumps, India's score read 145/3 with the visitors still trailing by 242 runs. Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul are unbeaten for India. Speaking about his lack of celebration after dismissing Jofra Archer and completing a five-wicket haul, Bumrah said, 'The reality is that I was tired. There was no happiness factor. I bowled for a long time on the field, and sometimes I get tired.' 'I'm not 21-22 anymore that I'll jump around. I'm usually not like that. I was happy that I contributed. Other than that, I just wanted to go back to my mark and bowl the next ball," he added.

ENG vs IND, 3rd Test: Lord's win from 2021 a special memory, says Bumrah
A five-wicket haul is always special for a bowler, and Jasprit Bumrah is no exception. At Lord's, he claimed his 15th five-fer in Test cricket on Friday, but the celebrations were muted as he simply led the team off the pitch, acknowledging the appreciation from the crowd. The Indian pace ace later admitted that his most memorable Test in England is from 2021, when he and Mohammed Shami forged an 89-run partnership for the ninth wicket to guide India to a massive victory. In the second innings of that fixture, Shami remained unbeaten on 56, Bumrah was not out on 34. 'The most memorable Test match in England was the last time when Shami bhai and I won the match with batting. So obviously, I will remember those memories,' he said, adding with a smile that making it to the prestigious Honours Board at Lord's did make him happy. India's Mohdohammed Shami, right, celebrates getting to his fifty, as India's Jasprit Bumrah congratulates him during the fifth day of the 2nd cricket test between England and India at Lord's on Aug. 16, 2021. | Photo Credit: AP 'It's a good thing to come to the Honours Board. When my son will grow up, I can tell him that my name is on the Honours Board and it is also on many other places. But I remember the memories. In that match (in 2021), I took only three wickets, but that memory was very special for me because we came from behind and we got them out in 60 overs. So memories are more important to me. Obviously, when I play for India, I want to contribute as much as I can…' ALSO READ | Bumrah's fifer, Rahul's resistance keep game in balance Time and again, Bumrah's fitness has been under scrutiny, but he believes, 'as long as I wear this jersey, judgment will come. Because every cricketer goes through that. A part and parcel of a professional sport is that you will always be judged by your performances. And obviously, you will always be judged day in and day out. Even when Sachin sir played 200 Test matches, he was also still being judged.' 'That's how it is… Professional sport is like that,' said Bumrah.

Is Jones another victim of 'success' like McGregor? Relapse, pot arrests, 14-day retirement U-turn, and overzealous patriotism expose the cracks in the greatest of all time
At 6 a.m. in Albuquerque, while most of the city is still asleep, Jon Jones is already pacing through the gym. Shadowboxing under flickering fluorescent lights, whispering affirmations to himself. 'Be the guy that embraces the ugly,' he repeats, a mantra that feels like both confession and commandment. It's been a recurring theme in Jon Jones's career: the collision of brilliance and chaos, greatness and scandal. There may be no figure in UFC history more complex than Jones, who, even in retirement limbo, continues to dominate headlines. And now, in the summer of 2025, with his name once again back in the USADA testing pool and rumors of a fight on the White House lawn for America250 next in July, 2026, the sport's ultimate anti-hero refuses to fade. — JonnyBones (@JonnyBones) Also read: UFC Fight Night Nashville: Live streaming of Lewis-Teixeira fight, Preview TV Channel, Start Time & Where The most gifted, and the most damaged Jones's body, as Joe Rogan once put it, seems engineered for violence. 'He's the guy at the back of the battlefield with a giant axe, slashing heads,' Rogan said on his podcast. 'Long arms, crazy reach, sensitive soul. That's the perfect killer.' With a reach of 84.5 inches and freakishly thin calves, often mocked, but a trait shared by elite sprinters, Jones doesn't look like a traditional bruiser. He glides more than he stomps, strikes with the mechanical timing of a metronome. And while his résumé boasts 28 wins, one loss, and one no-contest, it's the air of invincibility, the eerie calm before he strikes, that has long terrified opponents. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top 10 Most Beautiful Women In The World OMGIFacts Undo He holds the UFC record for most title defenses in light heavyweight history, totaling 14 if you include interim and undisputed belts. From defeating Mauricio 'Shogun' Rua at age 23 to stopping Ciryl Gane in the first round at UFC 285 in 2023 for the vacant heavyweight belt, Jones has stacked victories over two generations of fighters. Also read: Octagon heads to Doha as UFC to make Qatar debut this November Live Events But for every peak, there has been a plunge. A record with caveats In 2017, Jones tested positive for Turinabol after knocking out Daniel Cormier, a win later overturned to a no-contest. It was his second anti-doping violation, following a failed test in 2016. Though USADA ruled neither instance as intentional cheating, the stains lingered. Fans often invoke his controversial decisions over Dominick Reyes in 2020 and Alexander Gustafsson in 2013 as moments when the aura cracked. Even UFC President Dana White admitted Reyes might've deserved that win. Jones walked away from light heavyweight not long after, vacating the title in 2020, choosing instead to bulk up for a heavyweight debut that would come nearly three years later. And when it finally happened, a quick submission over Ciryl Gane, it didn't silence the critics. Why didn't he fight Francis Ngannou before the Cameroonian left the UFC? Why didn't he unify the belt with interim champ Tom Aspinall? Why did he announce retirement in June, 2025, only to re-enter the drug-testing pool just weeks later? 'I think I'm a bad guy trying to be good' Jon Jones' final message after his retirement was announced on June 21, by UFC President Dana White at UFC at ABC: Hill vs Rountree in Baku, Azerbaijan, through his X and reshared on June 22, by MMA veteran journalist, Ariel Helwani on his Facebook page Once, in a pre-fight interview, a reporter asked Jones if he was a good guy pretending to be bad or a bad guy pretending to be good. With a smirk, Jones paused, then said, 'That's a good question. I think I'm a bad guy trying to be good.' Before UFC 309, just months ago, he expanded on that. 'In Christianity, we believe we're born into sin,' he told reporters. 'I'm flawed. But I fight to be better.' That inner war, between salvation and self-sabotage, defines Jon Jones. Also read: 'I only died four times': Ex-UFC star Ben Askren shares shocking health update after double lung transplan The same man who's been arrested multiple times for DWI, domestic disputes, and weapons charges also once checked on Daniel Cormier after his mother passed. The same fighter who called himself 'God's champion' has also been accused of brutalizing those closest to him. In 2021, he allegedly assaulted his fiancée, leading to a public outcry and calls for the UFC to drop him. Police bodycam footage from Las Vegas showed Jones weeping in custody, pounding his chest, and repeating, 'I'm better than this.' Faith, family, and failure Jones's father was a pastor. His brothers, Chandler and Arthur, played in the NFL. Athletic dominance ran in the family, but so did expectations. Growing up in Endicott, New York, Jones often felt like he didn't belong. He moved to New Mexico to escape himself as much as anything, finding refuge in the cage. His gym became his church. 'I believe in the power of manifestation,' he often says. 'I see myself as world champion before I step in there.' But belief alone hasn't been enough to keep him steady. In between training camps and victories, he's admitted to battling addiction, depression, and impulses he doesn't always understand. He owns a Belgian Malinois, a breed used by elite military units, and trains it obsessively. The dog, often seen alongside him on hikes and shooting range sessions, is a symbol of control. He also owns multiple firearms and has shown them off on social media, drawing criticism but also reinforcing the mythos of the warrior preparing for war. What makes a legend? Jon Jones's legacy is complicated. Analysts like Luke Thomas call him 'the greatest skill-for-skill fighter we've ever seen,' while Ariel Helwani adds, 'But he might also be the most disappointing.' Brett Okamoto of ESPN summed it up best: 'If he were squeaky clean, there'd be no GOAT debate.' Indeed, what do we do with an athlete who broke every rule but never lost the game? Also read: Islam Makhachev's famous quote, 'Brahthar, send 2-3 years Dagestan and forget', staunch follower became un The UFC itself has leaned into the duality. Dana White famously said on the Full Send podcast: 'If two men walk into a room, one of them Jon Jones, the other anyone else, Jones walks out.' It was meant as praise, but fans online turned it into a meme, both for its absurdity and uncomfortable truth. 2026: a comeback or a curtain call? After President Dana White's vague post-fight press conference announcing the retirement of the most accomplished MMA fighter alive, ever (even according to him), at UFC on ABC: Hill vs. Rountree Jr. in Baku This elevated Tom Aspinall to be the current undisputed heavyweight champion. Jones posted a congratulatory message, but stayed quiet. Then came July 4. 'I'm back in the pool,' he tweeted, referencing USADA's mandatory six-month testing window. His reason? President Donald Trump had announced plans for a UFC event on the South Lawn of the White House for America's 250th anniversary in July, 2026. Jones wrote on X, 'The moment I heard Trump's announcement, I started training again. For me, it's about the opportunity to represent America at the White House. I don't care who I fight that night.' It was pure Jon, part patriot, part provocateur. The fighter we can't quit Whether he returns or not, Jon Jones occupies a strange space in American sports culture. He's the villain we can't stop watching, the prodigy who couldn't outrun his demons, the champ who never really lost, but always seemed to be losing something. At 37, his time at the top may be over. Or not. With whispers of a final bout against Aspinall, or even middleweight champion Alex Pereira, a fighter his own size, the door remains open. And maybe that's fitting. Because Jon Jones has never been about clean endings. He's about conflict, about the gray area. The walking contradiction who made fans question not just what a GOAT looks like, but what it should look like.

We might remember him for the questions he forced us to ask, about forgiveness, about greatness, and about whether a bad guy trying to be good is more honest than the ones who never admit they're bad at all.
