IND Vs ENG, 3rd Test: Crawley, Duckett Survive Bumrah Scare After First Innings Score Tie In Pics

Day 3 at Lord’s was a gripping mix of brilliance, drama, and lost opportunities. India were building steadily until a costly run-out attempt by Rishabh Pant, trying to help KL Rahul avoid a nervous break on 98, backfired. Pant was gone, and Rahul, despite getting to his hundred, fell soon after. That moment shifted the tone. Jofra Archer returned with a fiery spell, and England sensed an opening. India stumbled briefly before Jadeja and debutant Nitish Reddy steadied things with a gutsy stand. Emotions boiled late in the day as India matched England’s 387, tempers flared, and the Test remained on a knife’s edge. With just six minutes left in the day, Zak Crawley used every trick in the book to delay play and limit India to just one over. Jasprit Bumrah steamed in, but England survived, ending at 2 for 0. The final moments were tense, with Shubman Gill exchanging words and gestures at Crawley, adding spice to an already charged finish to Day 3.
