**India and England Locked in Tight Battle at Lord’s After Day 3**

**London, UK –** The third day of the highly anticipated third Test match between India and England concluded at Lord’s Cricket Ground with the game finely balanced. The match is part of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025 series.

India’s first innings ended on 387, mirroring England’s earlier total. Rishabh Pant (74), KL Rahul (100), and Ravindra Jadeja (72) were the key contributors for the Indian side. Rahul’s century marked a significant milestone but ultimately, the team fell short of securing a significant first-innings lead.

England, facing one over before the close of play, reached 2 without loss. Crawley and Duckett are at the crease.

Earlier, India’s innings saw a shaky start with Yashasvi Jaiswal (13) departing early, caught by Archer. Karun Nair (40) showed promise before losing his wicket, and Captain Shubman Gill (16) was dismissed by Woakes. The partnership between Rahul and Pant steadied the ship. The rest of Indian batting collapsed after that.

England’s first innings was anchored by Joe Root’s masterful century (104), his 37th in Test cricket and 11th against India. Brydon Carse (56) and Jamie Smith (51) also contributed with half-centuries. Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the Indian bowlers, claiming five wickets.

With the five-match series currently tied at 1-1, this Test is crucial for both teams. England won the first test and India won the second Test.
