IND vs ENG 3rd Test: 'Don't just blame Day 5' - Dinesh Karthik explains how India lost grip on the Lord's Test
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.

"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. Pant was dismissed for 74 runs just before lunch on the third day.

"When you look back, that Rishabh Pant run out in India's first innings will be absolutely vital to this game. With the ball, in the field, with the bat, Stokes is never out of the game!" Hussain said.
Poll
How crucial do you think Ben Stokes' captaincy was in this match?
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.

Jeff Teague picks Isaiah Thomas over Jalen Brunson despite the star's All-NBA rise and playoff run
Jalen Brunson now play for the NY Knicks (Image via Instagram / @jalenbrunson1) Jalen Brunson has a chance to leave his stamp on the NBA history and become one of the New York Knicks' greatest players as the upcoming season approaches. Although it's never easy to compete for a championship, his rise to fame has helped the team finish close to the top of the East in recent years. However, NBA All-Star Jeff Teague, isn't convinced that Jalen Brunson is superior to former Boston Celtics' star Isaiah Thomas. Jeff Teague downplays Jalen Brunson's rise, claims Isaiah Thomas was the better scorer and overall player Jalen Brunson, the star of the New York Knicks , has been nothing short of extraordinary since he moved to Madison Square Garden in 2022. He helped the team come around and even led them to their first Eastern Conference Finals in 25 years this past season. Thanks to the star player, the New York Knicks are now able to contend for a championship. He has developed into one of the league's best guards since coming to New York. He further led the team to the third-best record in the East last season. Jeff Teague ARGUES Isaiah Thomas is BETTER than Jalen Brunson | 520 in the Morning However, the former NBA All-Star Baron Davis realized that Jalen Brunson alone would not be enough to bring an NBA championship. This happened after the team lost to the Indiana Pacers in six games in the Eastern Conference Finals. Baron Davis pointed to Indiana's pressure and restricting Jalen Brunson's movement. He further stated on Paul George's Podcast P: "Nobody can stop him… But if you watch what Indiana did, the half-court became another defender. His space got limited. They need another guard to handle pressure, bring the ball up, and let him operate one-on-one late in games." On the other hand, Jeff Teague isn't convinced that Jalen Brunson is superior to Isaiah Thomas. The former was a 5-foot-9 MVP candidate in Boston in 2017. Although his career was brief, he was among the league's finest, which is why Jeff Teague sided with him in a dispute. During his appearance in Club 520 Podcast on July 15, he said: 'I'm taking IT… I am, they do the same s—, and IT do it better really.' Jalen Brunson is a talented player (Image via Instagram / @jalenbrunson1) When asked who is a better scorer as well as a better player, Jeff Teague went all out. He continued: 'I swear to god I'm not being biased… I watched Jalen Brunson grow up, but [Thomas] averaged 30. He averaged 30.' In 2016-17, Isaiah Thomas had his best season. However, next season, Jalen Brunson and the New York Knicks will have a chance to put an end to this dispute on the floor.

Animesh finishes second in 100m heats at Swiss meet
Animesh Kujur continued his brilliant run in the ongoing season by coming second in Heat C of 100m during the Spitzen Leichtathletik Luzern at Stadion Allmend in Lucerne, Switzerland, on Tuesday night. Coming into the race fresh from competing at the Monaco Diamond League last week, Kujur ran 10.28 seconds — his third-best personal time. While Sachin Dennis of Jamaica came first with a timing of 10.21 seconds, four more Indian athletes also took part in the race and pushed each other to the limit. Gurindervir Singh, who has a PB of 10.20 seconds and briefly held the 100m NR, came fourth with a timing of 10.54 seconds. Manikanta Hoblidhar, also a former 100m NR holder, followed suit with a time of 10.61 seconds. Odisha's DM Jayram and Lalu Prasad Bhoi were the next to cross the line. Jayram ran a PB of 10.65 seconds while Lalu crossed the line just 0.02 seconds later. However, Animesh was the most impressive of the Indian runners as he looks make good use of competing with the faster runners in the European circuit. While he is hoping to qualify for the World Championships in 200m, he is also aiming to break the 10-second mark in 100m. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Cách giao dịch ETH/USD mà không cần nắm giữ Ether IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo He currently holds the 100m NR with a time of 10.18 seconds that he achieved during the Dromia International Sprint and Relays Meeting at Konstantinos Baglatzis Municipal Stadium in Vari, Greece, earlier this month. His coach Owen Martins, who trains him at Odisha Reliance Foundation Athletics High-Performance Centre (HPC) in Bhubaneswar, however is well aware that it's going to take some time. "It's a slow process. It's still 2 metres and it's a long way off. Athens wasn't a fast track. So there's a few tenths of a second there. Also, in an earlier race, the wind was 1.7 m/s as opposed to 0. 5 m/s when he ran. So you can get down to 10.12 seconds just by changing the wind. But it's a gradual process and again, that's not really what we're trying to aim for," said Martins.
