IND Vs ENG, 3rd Test: Ravindra Jadeja's Heroics Not Enough, India Suffer Heartbreaking Defeat At Lords

In one of the most thrilling Tests in recent memory, England edged out India by 22 runs at Lord’s to lead the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series 2-1. Chasing 193, India collapsed to 170 despite Ravindra Jadeja’s defiant unbeaten 61. England’s bowling, led by Stokes and Archer, proved too disciplined as Shoaib Bashir, playing with a broken finger, claimed the final wicket. Joe Root’s first-innings century (104) and Jasprit Bumrah’s five-for (5/74) headlined the earlier exchanges, while Washington Sundar’s 4/22 gave India hope in the second innings. But despite dogged lower-order resistance, India fell short in a gripping finish.
