Day 4 of the third Test between India and England at Lord’s turned into a spectacle of bowling brilliance as India bundled out England for 192 in their second innings, setting up a target of 193 for victory.
The day began with England poised at 2/0 and hoping to build a defendable lead, but they crumbled under relentless pressure.
Spinner Washington Sundar was the star with figures of 4/22, making inroads into England’s middle and lower order. Jasprit Bumrah’s ferocious pace yielded key breakthroughs, including a devastating yorker to dismiss Brydon Carse, triggering a late collapse.
Ben Stokes and Joe Root struggled to anchor England as deliveries kept low and reverse swing aided India’s attack. The last four wickets fell in a flurry after Tea, leaving India in command.
With the pitch showing signs of wear, the chase promises excitement as India aims to clinch the lead in the series.
A win here would mark a historic turnaround and validate the team’s gritty performance in hostile English conditions.
