Tue Jul 15 10:25:55 UTC 2025: **England Clinch Thrilling Victory Against India at Lord’s**
**Lord’s, England** – England secured a hard-fought victory against India in the third Test at Lord’s, bowling out the visitors for 170 on the final day. India, needing just 135 runs with six wickets in hand at the start of play, collapsed under pressure from the English bowlers.
A top-order collapse in the morning session left India reeling, but Ravindra Jadeja led a counter-attacking effort, scoring a defiant innings. However, his efforts proved insufficient as England’s bowlers maintained relentless pressure.
Ben Stokes and Jofra Archer spearheaded the England attack, claiming three wickets apiece, while Brydon Carse chipped in with two crucial scalps. Archer also contributed with a spectacular one-handed catch off his own bowling to dismiss Washington Sundar.
Former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar lamented the lack of partnerships in the Indian batting lineup, stating that a 60-70 run partnership could have changed the game’s trajectory.
The turning point of the morning session was the dismissals of Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul. Archer removed Pant with a delivery that crashed into his off-stump, while Stokes dismissed Rahul via a successful review.
