England vs India third Test live: score, updates from day 2 at Lord's
The full India squad are out on the pitch going through warm-ups (Elizabeth Ammon writes). England have been through theirs and they are back in the changing room having a chat. The five-minute bell which is situated on the balcony of the Bowlers Bar in the Pavilion will be rung today by Cheteshwar Pujara. Joe Root registered his 37th Test hundred on the first ball of day two but had been left stranded on 99 not out overnight and revealed that it had affected his sleep (Elizabeth Ammon writes). 'I don't think I have been 99 not out overnight before,' the former England captain said. 'I woke up in the night and couldn't get back to sleep I went through every shot I could have played to start the day and every possible dismissal. 'Then I realised 'stop making it about you', there's so many more important things to consider throughout the day. The frustrating thing is I managed to get to 100 but that is when you should make it count. So I'm a bit disappointed [with not turning it into a bigger score].'

The four players in the England squad who are not in the team were released yesterday from the camp (Elizabeth Ammon writes). Jacob Bethell, Jamie Overton and Sam Cook went back to their counties to play in the T20 Blast. Gus Atkinson, however, will play club cricket today in the Surrey Premier League. He will play for his club, Spencer, against Sunbury at Sunbury CC. He is allowed to bowl 10 overs and bat. I will keep you posted on how he goes. The Surrey seamer is recovering from a hamstring injury sustained during the Zimbabwe Test in May but the ECB wanted to keep him away from county cricket and just get some overs in the slightly gentler environment of club cricket. If you are in the Sunbury on Thames area, Sunbury CC is a lovely little ground and they have a really nice bar so pop down there! 'A bowler who can change the mood of a game in an instant.' After an absence from Test cricket of 1,597 days, it took Jofra Archer only three balls to confirm that the optimism behind Ben Stokes's pre-match assessment was not mislaid, when, with Lord's buzzing, he sent one on to Yashasvi Jaiswal's outside edge and into the hands of Harry Brook at second slip (Mike Atherton writes). Who writes your scripts, Jof? Archer had been given a warm reception when he walked out to bat at the end of England's innings, hitting his first ball for four, and expectation was undeniably in the air when he marked out his run from the Pavilion End shortly afterwards, midway through the afternoon. His first ball was on target; his second fizzed past the edge of Jaiswal's bat, and the third, delivered at 89.8mph, moved just enough down the slope to take it, squaring up the young left-hander. Archer set off sprinting towards the grandstand, then, all the frustration of four years of injuries to spine and elbow forgotten in a moment of pure delight, and he stopped only when met by the open arms of Shoaib Bashir, the first team-mate to catch up in celebration. A wicket maiden followed, with the fastest ball of the series — 93.3mph — delivered for good measure, in an opening spell of five overs that clocked 89.8mph on average. It would have been impossible to match that moment of theatre and drama, and Archer's comeback wicket remained the highpoint of a day that also included a 37th hundred and a record 211th catch in Tests for Joe Root — the former brought up from the first ball of the day after a night spent sweating on 99 — and a first five-wicket haul at Lord's for India's champion bowler, Jasprit Bumrah. • Mike Atherton's report: Archer's rapid return and Root's historic catch give England the edge Good morning everyone from a very, very hot Lord's (Elizabeth Ammon writes). It's going to be an absolutely sweltering one today and MCC have over the last couple of days put extra protocols in place to make sure that visitors and staff are able to cope with the heat. There's a limited amount of shade at Lord's, so everyone is having to be very careful. Extra medical teams have been brought in and have been given a extra spaces in the shade at the back of the pavilion where they can treat people who are feeling the effects of the heat. Yesterday, 26,000 bottles of water were bought or given away which is more than they usually shift over the five days of a Test match. Everyone seems to agree that England having runs on the board already puts them in a slightly better position than India, although no one is quite sure what the pitch is likely to do over the next couple of days. It might start to break up, but maybe not much. Jofra Archer's long-awaited return to Test cricket added to the excitement of yesterday's proceedings as the 30-year-old fast bowler took a wicket in his first Test over since the beginning of 2021 and Root said it was a 'genuine joy for Jofra, the team and the spectators' to see him back and bowling with fire and menace (Elizabeth Ammon writes). 'The noise, the pure joy for everyone seeing him back in whites, everyone's genuine excitement to see him playing Test cricket,' Joe Root said yesterday. 'It created a great atmosphere. Bowling at 94mph, getting a wicket first over, that's the kind of player he is He's X-factor and he's going to play a big part with this team going forward. He also really complements the attack we have and they are all going to need to work together on this pitch to get 20 wickets. It's a bit like India turning to Bumrah, he can create something different for you. 'I'm just excited for him. It's been great to see him back in and around the group, and then to come in and take a wicket in your first over, to then get a tap on the shoulder when their best player throughout this series, with nearly 600 runs, comes out to bat, and you're the man that is turned to to try and get him out. I think that's a great compliment, and it must fill him with confidence going into the rest of this game.' Please enable cookies and other technologies to view this content. You can update your cookies preferences any time using privacy manager. Speaking yesterday, Joe Root said that the recurring issue of time being lost during the day's play due to the Dukes balls going soft or out of shape could be solved by each team being limited to three challenges to umpire to get it replaced (Elizabeth Ammon writes). Fifteen overs were lost on day two of the third Test for various reasons including the on-field umpires being asked by the fielding side to check the shape of the ball and it has been happening regularly throughout the series leading to frustrations for both players and spectators. 'I personally think that if you want to keep getting the ball changed, then each team gets three challenges every 80 overs, and that's it,' Root said. 'So if you want to get it changed that would be, I think, a nice way of compromising and saying it's not all on the manufacturer. Sometimes these things happen, but you can't just keep asking and wasting time and slowing the game down at the same time. 'I do know that they are hand-made, so you're never going to get two balls exactly the same and I do think that this summer has been a bit of an anomaly for us in this country. We're not used to getting this much sun and this much heat, getting squares as hard and outfields as firm as they are, so whether that plays a part or not in them going soft or out of shape — maybe.' Good morning and welcome to The Times' coverage of day three of the third Test at Lord's. It promises to be an enticing day as India look to reply to England's 387 all out with the series level at 1-1. They start today on 145-3 with dangermen KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant at the crease. All eyes will be on fast bowler Jofra Archer, after an electric return to Test cricket yesterday when he took the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal in a blistering first over back — his first Test over since 2021 — after a torrid time with injuries. Lets get into it.

India vs England 3rd Test At Lord's: Key Stats, Records, And Players To Watch As Series Hangs In Balance
As the storied Lord's Cricket Ground prepares to host the third Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between India and England, anticipation has reached fever pitch. With the series tantalizingly poised at 1-1 after India's commanding 336-run win at Edgbaston, the third Test promises to be a defining chapter in this long-standing rivalry. Lord's has long been a fortress for England and a venue India has only recently begun to conquer. Since their inaugural match at this iconic ground in 1932, India have played 19 Tests at Lord's — winning just 3, losing 12, and drawing 4. However, two of those wins have come in the last decade, including a memorable victory in 2021 under Virat Kohli. While India's historic 42 all out in 1974 remains a painful memory, recent results show a shift. The Men in Blue now arrive with momentum, a confident unit under the fresh leadership of Shubman Gill, and bolstered by the potential return of Jasprit Bumrah, who looked in lethal rhythm during training. Recent Turnaround: India's Growing Dominance India's emphatic win at Edgbaston was not just a statement — it was a warning. With the series level, India will look to capitalize on England's vulnerabilities, particularly their inconsistent middle order and a pace attack that lacked penetration without Jofra Archer and Gus Atkinson — the latter of whom might return for Lord's after an impressive 7/45 in one of his two previous outings here. India have now won four of their last five Tests against England, including back-to-back wins by massive margins: 434 runs and an innings and 64 runs. Notably, KL Rahul (129 at Lord's in 2021) and Ishant Sharma (7/74 in 2014) have shown they can rise to the occasion at this venue. India vs England at Lord's – Head-to-Head Snapshot Total Tests: 19 India Wins: 3 England Wins: 12 Draws: 4 India Highest Total: 454 (1990) England Highest Total: 653 (1990) India Lowest Total: 42 (1974) Best Individual Score for India: Vinoo Mankad – 184 (1952) Best Bowling for India: Ishant Sharma – 7/74 (2014) Players to Watch: Stars Set to Shine at the Mecca of Cricket India Jasprit Bumrah – Though with modest figures at Lord's (3/33 in 2021), Bumrah's recent rhythm and big-match temperament make him a key threat. KL Rahul – With 152 runs in 4 innings at an average of 38, Rahul's technique and composure will be vital at the top. Mohammed Siraj – An 8-wicket match haul in his only Lord's Test shows he thrives in English conditions. England Joe Root – With 2022 runs in 40 innings at Lord's at an average of 54.64, including a double century, Root remains England's most dependable batter. Gus Atkinson – With 19 wickets at a stunning average of 10.94 in just two Tests at Lord's, his return could boost England's attack. Ben Duckett – Averaging 71.66 at Lord's, Duckett's aggressive style has proven effective in these conditions. What the Numbers Say About Lord's Wins Batting First: 53 (35.81%) Wins Batting Second: 44 (29.73%) Draws: 51 (34.46%) Average First Innings Score: 310 Highest Run Chase: 344/1 (West Indies) Pitch conditions are expected to favor seamers early on, with a possible green surface in store. The toss could prove crucial in shaping the course of the match.

ENG vs IND 3rd Test: Will Atkinson, Archer make it to England's Playing 11?
England will aim to take the lead in the five-match series when Ben Stokes' men take the field against India in the third Test, starting July 10, at Lord's Cricket Ground in London. To get the better of the Indian team—bolstered by the return of pace lynchpin Jasprit Bumrah —England may opt for changes in their bowling line-up. There was some indication of England's Playing XI for the third Test after Gus Atkinson was added to the squad on Tuesday. The 27-year-old pacer returned to the England Test set-up after recovering from a right hamstring injury sustained during the victory over Zimbabwe at Trent Bridge in May. While Jofra Archer was included in the squad before the second Test, he did not feature in the playing XI at Edgbaston. It was widely understood that the team management was reluctant to disturb the winning combination. However, after India piled up runs on a placid batting surface, England might consider bringing in either Archer or Atkinson for the third Test. Archer is likely to replace Chris Woakes in the Playing XI, and it would not be a surprise if the hosts opt for an all-pace attack at Lord's, where the pitch looks as green as it gets. In that case, Shoaib Bashir is expected to sit out. England Playing 11 probables for third Test: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Jamie Smith, Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Brandon Carse, Josh Tounge/Shoaib Bashir. England squad for third Test vs India Ben Stokes (Durham) – Captain Jofra Archer (Sussex) Gus Atkinson (Surrey) Shoaib Bashir (Somerset) Jacob Bethell (Warwickshire) Harry Brook (Yorkshire) Brydon Carse (Durham) Sam Cook (Essex) Zak Crawley (Kent) Ben Duckett (Nottinghamshire) Jamie Overton (Surrey) Ollie Pope (Surrey) Joe Root (Yorkshire) Jamie Smith (Surrey) Josh Tongue (Nottinghamshire) Chris Woakes (Warwickshire)

England urged to unleash Archer on India during Lord's Test ICC World Test Championship
The possible inclusion of Archer isn't the only change England are considering to their line-up for the Lord's Test, with fellow fast bowler Gus Atkinson and back-up batter Jacob Bethell also in the running for the crucial contest at the Home of Cricket. Bethell has only three Test appearances to his name with his most recent match coming against New Zealand at the end of last year, while Atkinson hasn't played since he hurt his hamstring in the one-off Test against Zimbabwe in Nottingham in May . While Bethell's inclusion would provide England with another spin option, McCullum said he won't take the place in the XI of first-choice spinner Shoaib Bashir. "He's a batting option," McCullum said of Bethell. "He's the next one in if something happens. "He wants to keep improving his bowling so that he can obviously impact the game across both the bat and ball. It's not something we'd look at from a tactical point of view to do." England squad for third Test: Ben Stokes (c), Jofra Archer, Gus Atkinson, Shoaib Bashir, Jacob Bethell, Harry Brook, Brydon Carse, Sam Cook, Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Jamie Overton, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jamie Smith, Josh Tongue, Chris Woakes.
