with a searing delivery that struck him in a painful area.
Live Score: India vs England 3rd Test
During a tense passage of play after lunch, Siraj came around the wicket and delivered a length ball that stayed low and thudded right into Stokes' box. The England skipper, caught off-guard by the lack of bounce and speed off the surface, was left sprawled on the pitch in pain, lying on his back for a prolonged period.
Ravindra Jadeja
immediately walked over to check on him, while Siraj looked momentarily concerned.

England Cricket's official account shared a video of the moment with a cheeky caption: 'Not where you want to be hit ' - quickly going viral among fans online.
WATCH:
Siraj, who had already removed Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope in the first session, continued to bowl with venom on a pitch offering variable bounce. The delivery to Stokes highlighted just how tricky batting had become as the ball refused to rise off a length.
Earlier in the day, India took control by reducing England to 98/4 at lunch, with Siraj finishing the session with figures of 2/11 in 7 overs. Zak Crawley, Pope, Duckett, and
Harry Brook
all fell in quick succession as India, having matched England's 387 in the first innings, looked to push for a 2-1 series lead.

Brook's dismissal to Akash Deep added to England's woes, but it was the sight of their captain doubled over in pain that summed up India's hostile bowling effort at Lord's Test.

Jadeja should've played more strokes, people will forget this 61 not out: Surinder Khanna
New Delhi: Former India wicket-keeper batter Surinder Khanna believes Ravindra Jadeja should have been more aggressive on Day 5 of the third Test between India and England after the visitors lost by 22 runs at Lord's. While chasing 193, India's top and middle order showed little to no resistance against the uneven bounce on the pitch and left Jadeja with a massive job to do, with the side reeling at 82/7 at one point. What followed was an extremely gritty innings by the all-rounder as he scored an unbeaten 61 off 181 deliveries but could not get India over the line. In an exclusive conversation with IANS, Khanna said no one will remember Jadeja's innings as he could not be a hero. "We don't have a batter that can bat with tailenders. Once he was set, maybe he could have scored more runs. I think he will be thinking that he could have made more strokes. When the ball gets soft, Bumrah, Siraj will not be scoring runs, you have to win the match and be a hero. People will forget this 60 (61) not out," Khanna told IANS. India are now trailing the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 1-2 and now face an uphill task in hopes of coming back to win the series. Khanna believes despite Washington Sundar's impressive second innings bowling efforts, which sent Joe Root, Ben Stokes and Jamie Smith back to the pavilion, Kuldeep Yadav should be considered for the fourth Test. 'These scores are tricky, when the score is higher, you are more careful. One needs to give credit to England, they brought in Archer and executed what they planned. There was very little to take away from both sides. We can't be rigid; yes, Sundar got important wickets but I feel Kuldeep Yadav can be a better bet. I always feel that the way the wicket reacts in the fourth innings, Kuldeep can be effective,' he added.

IND vs ENG 3rd Test: Ravindra Jadeja's fight not enough as India fall short at Lord's
England's players celebrate their win against India (AP Photo/Richard Pelham) London : Mohammed Siraj sat disconsolate on his haunches in the middle of the Lord's pitch. A perfectly played backfoot defensive shot off spinner Shoaib Bashir had just rolled back to hit his stumps, 10 minutes into the final session of the third Test, to end India's hopes. England had held their nerve just enough to win the Test by 22 runs to go 2-1 up in the series. Ollie Pope and England captain Ben Stokes rushed to console Siraj and pull him up on his feet, an image reminiscent of Andrew Flintoff consoling Brett Lee at Edgbaston 20 years ago. Ravindra Jadeja didn't bring out his customary sword celebration when he slashed Ben Stokes over the slips to bring up his half-century. His eyes were firmly set on the 193-run target. With No. 11 Siraj at the other end, Jadeja was inflicting deep wounds on Stokes' team. He remained unbeaten on 61 off 181 but the fierce fightback from 112/8 couldn't prevail over an England team fuelled by Stokes' tenacity. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel.

India would feel they ceded outright advantage on a final day of a Test for the second time in the series. India vs England: India fall short at Lord's, England lead series 2-1 The last two sessions were about who blinked first. Stokes, adamant to finish the job all by himself, dug deep into his energy reserves with the softer ball. The win came off an innocuous delivery from Bashir but it can be said India eventually submitted to Stokes' tenacity and unwavering self-belief. Stokes bowled 20 overs across two sessions for figures of 3/48. India took the field at 58/4, with KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant at the crease. Jofra Archer and Brydon Carse came out with a license to kill. They preyed on the Indian batters to reduce them to 112/8 at lunch. Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah batted nearly the entire second session for a 35-run partnership, tiring the England bowlers on a dying pitch. It took another marathon spell from Stokes to get Bumrah to miscue a pull off a short delivery. Every ball in the first session was an event. Pant got Archer away for a couple of boundaries. And then Archer delivered a thunderbolt that cut away from Pant just enough to send his off-stump cartwheeling. Stokes went on from one end for an hour and 45 minutes in the first session. Archer bowled for an hour. When Stokes nipped one back viciously off the seam and up the slope to trap Rahul for 39, the game seemed to be headed in only one direction. Archer dived to his right to snaffle Washington Sundar off his own bowling for a duck. At 82/7, Archer and Stokes had broken the back of India's batting. Poll Do you think India can bounce back in the next Test? Yes, they have the talent. No, they seem demoralized. The wicked fifth-day pitch looked a lot more venomous than it was. Perhaps, the bad habits of batting on flatter decks on this tour had kicked in. When England batted cautiously, it seemed they had moved away from their ultra-aggressive brand of cricket. On Monday, they did a 'Bazball' on India with the ball. London saw grey skies for the first time in a week. The temperatures came down considerably. But Stokes and his bowlers made sure the Indian batters felt the heat throughout the day. England's assistant coach Marcus Trescothick had claimed on Sunday that they were looking to wrap it up in one hour or so on the final morning. It took a lot longer than that and got too for comfort in the end. Catch Rani Rampal's inspiring story on Game On, Episode 4. Watch Here!
