India vs England LIVE Score, 3rd Test Day 4: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett to resume; ENG two runs ahead of IND
England, who came out to bat for 1 over with Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett surviving the day, will look to give the home side a good start on Sunday whereas Jasprit Bumrah and Co. will be charged up after the last-over incident happened against Crawley whose time-wasting antics bothered the visitors and denied them from bowling the second over.
Earlier, India were bundled out for 387 in their first innings, the same score that England were skittled out for as there was nothing to separate the two sides on Day 3 at Lord's on Saturday. Opener KL Rahul scored a century — his second at Lord's — while wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant and all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja chipped in with valuable fifties.
From KL to Rahul bhai – Indian opener finds his Zen mode in England

The question before the series was whether KL Rahul was a consistently good batsman or a batsman who just played good knocks. It was something that bothered the batsman too. Few days before this Test, he would bump into his one-time team mate Cheteshwar Pujara and share with him his goals for this England tour. Rahul wanted to convert his good starts into great hundreds.
Words can follow but the numbers rest Rahul's case. The Indian opener's scoring sequence in the forgettable Australia tour was – 26, 77, 37, 7, 84, 4*, 24, 0, 4, 13. In England it has been – 42, 137, 2, 55, 100. From just two 50s in 5 Tests, Rahul has 2 hundreds and 1 fifty in two Tests here. Now, it seems he is a good batsman with good knocks. India's new senior-most batsman is doing what seniors are supposed to be doing.
