In a gripping finish to the third Test at Lord’s, England defeated India by 22 runs, taking a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. The match, filled with twists and high tension, ended in heartbreak for India as their batting lineup crumbled under pressure in the final innings.
Chasing 193 for victory, India looked in control at various stages, but a dramatic late collapse turned the tide in England’s favour. Despite valiant efforts from Ravindra Jadeja, the visitors were bowled out short of the target. England’s bowlers, led by a fiery spell from Jofra Archer and supported by sharp fielding, sealed a memorable win at the historic venue.
As the match concluded, emotions ran high. Mohammed Siraj, who had fought bravely with both ball and bat in the match, was visibly devastated after the loss. In a heartwarming moment, England’s Zak Crawley and Joe Root were seen consoling Siraj on the field, offering handshakes and kind words as he knelt down, overcome with emotion.
