India Vs England 3rd Test Day 5 LIVE Score: Rishabh Pant Bowled By Jofra Archer; IND Trail By 122 Runs

Pant walks off nursing his left hand again, visibly uncomfortable after that brutal delivery from Archer. Even at full fitness, few batters could have handled such a jaffa. Archer’s effortless action belies the sheer pace he generates, but it’s his ability to seam the ball at nearly 90mph that makes him lethal. Just when a batter thinks they’ve covered the line, the ball deviates off the pitch with wicked precision—nearly impossible to counter.

A bold move from Ben Stokes as he hands the second over to Jofra Archer instead of the in-form Carse. Archer, who struggled with his lengths last evening, repeats the error as Pant flicks a full delivery on the pads for a boundary. The Indian wicketkeeper, clearly troubled by his injured finger, loses his bottom hand multiple times while fending off Archer’s sharp pace hovering near 90mph.

The stage is set for a gripping final day at Lord’s as umpires Paul Reiffel and Sharfuddoula take their positions. England huddle tightly with Ben Stokes rallying his men before resuming with ball in hand. KL Rahul, unbeaten on 33, walks out with Rishabh Pant to continue India’s tense chase of 193. With just 135 runs needed and six wickets in hand, the first hour promises to be decisive in shaping the outcome of this enthralling Test.

Pitch Report of Day 5: "The key on this surface is hitting that 8-metre length, and Jasprit Bumrah nailed it perfectly yesterday. Surprisingly, Jofra Archer missed that mark early on, bowling a bit too full. Ben Stokes, however, got it spot on from the Nursery End, which seems the right end for him with that consistent length.

From the Pavilion End, there’s just a hint of swing – something Brydon Carse exploited well. So, starting with Stokes and Carse again seems like the ideal choice. Shoaib Bashir was off the field, but there is some rough developing, which could work in his favour later on. India will look to get Bashir bowling quickly, as that would indicate England have moved away from their seamers. The first hour will be absolutely critical."

KL Rahul and Nitish Kumar Reddy took their turn for throwdowns as preparations unfolded. Jofra Archer had gone through a light warm-up, while Ben Stokes bowled just a handful of deliveries before heading back to the dressing room. Shoaib Bashir rolled his arm over on a side pitch, while Washington Sundar sharpened his batting skills with throwdowns. Ravindra Jadeja was also in the thick of things, receiving throwdowns in the nets outside.

India's batters remaining: Rishabh Pant (wk) , Nitish Kumar Reddy , Ravindra Jadeja , Washington Sundar , Jasprit Bumrah , Mohammed Siraj
