ENG vs IND 3rd Test, Day 5 Live Score: Can India conquer Lord's again?
Stuart Broad has expressed displeasure over the decision to fine Mohammed Siraj, calling it inconsistent. The former England pacer pointed out that several heated exchanges took place during the Lord's Test, yet only Siraj faced disciplinary action. India are chasing a piece of history at Lord's, where targets over 190 have only been chased down six times — two of those in the last three years. Their previous best came in 1986, when Kapil Dev and Ravi Shastri sealed a nervy 136-run chase. But this pitch is no flat deck — with uneven bounce and widening rough, the final day promises a stern test of technique, temperament, and timing. West Indies vs England – chased 344/1 – 1984 England vs New Zealand – chased 282/3 – 2004 South Africa vs Australia – chased 282/5 – 2025 England vs New Zealand – chased 279/5 – 2022 England vs New Zealand – chased 218/3 – 1965 England vs West Indies – chased 193/5 – 2012 England vs West Indies – chased 191/8 – 2000 Kevin Pietersen reckons that England are in the game than most people think. Despite the fairly low score, given how the pitch behaved yesterday, it won't exactly be smooth sailing for the visitors in the Lord's Test. Anil Kumble believes KL Rahul will be India's biggest hope on Day 5 of the Lord's Test, with 135 runs still needed and six wickets in hand. 'He needs to bat through. If India are to win, Rahul has to be there till the end,' Kumble said on JioHotstar. Rahul, who scored a century in the first innings, looked composed after surviving an early drop on Day 4. With the pitch offering variable bounce and swing, Kumble stressed that Rahul's calm presence will be vital in navigating tricky final-day conditions. Mohammed Siraj has been penalized 15 percent of his match fee for violating Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the fourth day of the Lord's Test against England. The incident involved Siraj using language or gestures deemed provocative following a batter's dismissal, falling under Article 2.5 of the ICC Code, which addresses actions that could incite an aggressive reaction. The fast bowler admitted the offense and accepted the sanction proposed by the match referee, eliminating the need for a formal hearing. Chasing a modest target of 193, India appeared to have an easy task ahead. However, their innings quickly unravelled as they lost four crucial wickets in just 17.4 overs, stumbling to 58 for 4 at stumps. England fought back strongly, taking three wickets in the final 30 minutes to keep themselves firmly in the contest. India's chase got off to a poor start when opener Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed for a duck. KL Rahul, who remains unbeaten, tried to steady the innings alongside Karun Nair. But Nair rashly gave away his wicket to Brydon Carse in the 13th over, departing for 14 off 33 balls. The pressure then mounted on captain Shubman Gill, who was greeted by a hostile England attack from the outset. Gill faced nine balls, scoring six runs, before being trapped plumb in front by Carse - a dismissal that opened the floodgates for England. After both sides posted 387 in the first innings, India immediately stepped up the pressure on England. The openers, Zak Crawley (22) and Ben Duckett (12), were dismissed early by Nitish Kumar Reddy and Mohammed Siraj respectively. Ollie Pope met a similar fate at number three, trapped by Siraj for four runs off 17 balls. England tried to rally through a partnership between Joe Root (40) and Harry Brook (23). Root was later joined by captain Ben Stokes (33), but the English batting lineup struggled to cope with the threat posed by Washington Sundar. Sundar, supported by Jasprit Bumrah, then dismantled the lower order as England collapsed to 192 all out. For India, Bumrah and Siraj took two wickets each, while Sundar claimed four. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Akash Deep also chipped in with a wicket apiece. The third Test hangs in the balance as India and England head into a decisive Day 5 at Lord's on Monday. With everything still to play for, both sides have an equal shot at victory. We're set for a thrilling finale. India need 135 runs to win, while England are just six wickets away from victory. The pitch continues to offer variable bounce, making batting a real challenge - and England capitalised on those conditions late on Day 4. India were 58 for 4 at stumps, and all eyes now turn to KL Rahul, who resumes his innings alongside Rishabh Pant. With the match delicately poised, Day 5 promises plenty of drama. Stay with us for live updates.

Mohammad Siraj Fined for ICC Code Breach During Lord's Test vs England
India fast bowler Mohammad Siraj has been fined 15% of his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the fourth day of the third Test against England at Lord's. The match is part of the ICC World Test Championship series. The breach falls under Article 2.5 of the ICC Code, which deals with the use of language, actions, or gestures that disparage or could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon dismissal. The incident occurred in the sixth over of England's second innings. After dismissing opener Ben Duckett, Siraj celebrated excessively and in close proximity to the batter. This act was found to be in violation of the code. In addition to the fine, one demerit point was added to Siraj's disciplinary record. This was his second offence in a 24-month period, bringing his total to two demerit points. The earlier point was issued during the second Test against Australia in Adelaide on 7 December 2024. Siraj accepted the penalty, so no formal hearing was required. The charge was levied by the on-field umpires Paul Reiffel and Sharfuddoula Ibne Shahid, with third umpire Ahsan Raza and fourth umpire Graham Lloyd also involved in the process. Level 1 offences can carry a range of penalties, from an official reprimand to a 50% match fee deduction, and one or two demerit points.
