IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day: India Need 135 To Win After Wobbling To 58/4 At Stumps

India need 135 runs with 6 wickets in hand after England's late fightback on Day 4. Sundar's 4-for, Bumrah's milestone, and Gill's record lit up a tense day at Lord's. Indian looked on course for another terrific win at Lord's until Brydon Carse and Ben Stokes led England's counter-attack at the stroke of stumps on Sunday. Washington Sundar had put India in a commanding position with a four-wicket haul, but the top-order stuttered to 58/4 at stumps on day four, chasing 193 on a rapidly deteriorating pitch. A ferocious Indian attack stole the show at Lord's on Sunday, setting the perfect stage for a second consecutive win in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. Washington Sundar's late assault left England's lower-middle order in tatters, looking completely clueless against spin. The pitch has clearly started aiding the tweakers, but for England, there's no relief in sight as their lone spinner, Shoaib Bashir, has injured his finger and is unlikely to bowl. Sundar emerged as the star of the day with a game-changing spell across the final two sessions. After lunch, he struck twice to leave England reeling. Joe Root and Ben Stokes had applied themselves on a deteriorating pitch, frustrating India with a gritty 67-run stand. But Sundar broke the partnership, cleaning up Root—England's first-innings centurion—before rattling Jamie Smith's off stump in the 47th over. Post-tea, Sundar continued weaving his web, dismissing Ben Stokes for 33. Jasprit Bumrah then delivered a double blow, before Sundar claimed Bashir's wicket to finish with remarkable figures of 4 for 22—bettering S. Venkataraghavan's 4 for 52 in 1971. Sundar now holds the fourth-best bowling figures by an Indian spinner at Lord's in Tests. Mohammed Siraj was the second-best bowler for India. He throttled England in the morning session, returning 2 for 31 in 13 overs. Remarkably, 7 of England's 11 batters were bowled in the second innings. The hosts could only set a 193-run target, giving India a golden opportunity for another famous win at the home of cricket. Meanwhile, World No. 1 Test bowler Jasprit Bumrah etched his name in the record books. After going wicketless in the first two sessions, he returned with fire after tea, knocking over Brydon Carse and then cleaning up Chris Woakes. With the Woakes dismissal, Bumrah became India's highest wicket-taker against England in Tests played on English soil, surpassing Ishant Sharma's tally of 48 wickets in 14 matches. The focus now shifts to the Indian batters as they chase 193 to go 2-1 up in the series. The chase began with a few hiccups. Jofra Archer struck early, removing Yashasvi Jaiswal for a 7-ball duck, while Brydon Carse trapped Karun Nair leg-before. Indian skipper Shubman Gill also notched up a historic feat at the stroke of stumps on day 4. The 25-year-old became the highest run-getter for India in Tests on English soil. He went ahead of former captain Rahul Dravid's tally of 602 runs. But the momentum soon shifted in England's favour, leaving Indian fans on edge. Brydon Carse struck a major blow by trapping Shubman Gill leg-before, halting India's steady progress. Akash Deep was sent in as the nightwatchman, but his stay was short-lived as Ben Stokes cleaned him up with the final ball of the day. With KL Rahul still unbeaten and six wickets in hand, India now need 135 more runs for victory. The final day promises high drama—will India script another memorable win at Lord's, or will England mount a stunning comeback to level the series? view comments First Published: July 13, 2025, 23:45 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

IND vs ENG Lord's Test: Mohammed Siraj leaves ‘Home of Cricket' buzzing with his aggression

LONDON, ENGLAND - JULY 13: Mohammed Siraj of India appeals unsuccesfully as Joe Root of England narrowly avoids a collision during Day Four of the 3rd Rothesay Test Match between England and India at Lord's Cricket Ground at Lord's Cricket Ground on July 13, 2025 in London, England. (Photo by) London: Mohammed Siraj has made a habit of unsettling the Lord's crowd. Conservative spectators here, proud of the tradition of the gentleman's game, have been frowning upon the pacer's relentless, in-your-face aggression since Saturday evening, when he had a go at Zak Crawley for the England opener's delaying antics. This is not the first time Siraj has let himself loose at Lord's. His one-on-one duel with James Anderson in 2021 is still being talked about. Virat Kohli's 'givethem-60-overs-of-hell' headlined India's memorable win at that time. Siraj had then been at the forefront of making things excruciatingly tough for England. Go Beyond The Boundary with our YouTube channel. SUBSCRIBE NOW! On Sunday morning, India again needed that aggressive side of Siraj's character to resurface. This is a generation of Indian cricketers who are fearless and always up for a fight. Siraj took it on himself to fuel the entire team. He was about giving England hell as India took big strides towards forcing a result in their favour. Siraj was doing more than just complementing Jasprit Bumrah's usual probing spell. When he did get Ben Duckett to play a false shot for the first wicket of the day at mid-on, the expected war cry was followed by a shoulder nudge with Duckett. Rishabh Pant is India's TRUMP CARD in tense chase vs England at Lord's Immediately, the talk around Lord's was that Siraj deserved to be penalised for the act. The host broadcasters played out multiple replays that showed Siraj was walking straight lines and Duckett was the one who changed track to walk into Siraj. Was Siraj behaving in the right way? The debate got louder. Driven by the overwhelming desire to pull India ahead, the fast bowler was vocal and vibrant and also immaculate. Poll Should Mohammed Siraj be penalized for his shoulder nudge with Ben Duckett? Yes, that was unsportsmanlike No, it was just a competitive gesture He kept running in hard, hit the right lines and lengths, got the ball to do something and stayed in the face of England. His emotions compelled captain Shubman Gill to lose a review while challenging an LBW decision. Siraj made amends with another plea to Gill for a DRS after rapping Ollie Pope on the pads. As the giant screen showed three reds, Siraj got the entire ground buzzing again. Siraj bowled through the day, beating both edges of the English batters. He made his frustration obvious but never let that become the dominating emotion. On Sunday, when most walked in anticipating another day of slow burn, Siraj injected adrenaline into the game.
