That's all folks for this Test! Do join us for the fourth Test coverage that starts on July 23. Good bye

England off-spinner Shoaib Bashir, who picked up the final wicket to script a memorable 22-run victory in the 3rd Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, has been ruled out of the remainder of the five-match series.

Will Jasprit Bumrah play the 4th Test at Old Trafford? "You'll soon find out," is Gill's response after the game. Bumrah has now played 2 Tests in this series, and is set to play only one more as per his workload management plan. Which one will it be?

It wasn't meant to be for Gill's India to become the first Indian side since 1986 to win back-to-back Tests in England, but he is immensely proud of the fight: "Extremely proud. Five days of hard-fought cricket and it comes down to the last session, last wicket and tremendously proud of the effort."

Gill adds that the lack of partnerships from the batting unit cost India big time.

Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Siraj got a standing ovation as they walked back into the Lord's pavilion. They took the game right down to the wire, and nearly, nearly pulled off a heroic win. 22 runs short, but heroes at the end of the day.

Ben Stokes is the Player of the Match. Well deserved for the England captain. 77 runs and 5 wickets in the Test, but his contribution went much beyond what he did with the bat or ball. Led from the front, by example, bowled the longest spells and showed his teammates what needed to be done to win.

What a win for England. What a win for Ben Stokes' boys. Led by the captain himself, who kept bowling incredible spells as England tried to defend a measly 192. 3 wickets for Stokes, 3 for Archer, 2 for Carse, 1 for Woakes and 1 for Bashir. 

They bowled magnificently, and then they were made to toil. But take nothing away from them. A superb victory.

From 81/7 and 112/8, India took it all the way to the third session. Heroic, heroic resistance but just not enough in the end. Ravindra Jadeja: 61* off 181 balls. Jasprit Bumrah: 5 off 54. Mohammed Siraj: 4 off 30. Take a bow, gentlemen.

The defeat will sting the Indian team, but India's tail -- so often criticised and maligned -- have done themselves and their country proud.

Mohammed Siraj departs! Heartbreaking. He defended it, but the ball bounces on the pitch and trickles over to knock over one solitary bail. The India resistance ends. Shoaib Bashir runs off in wild celebrations. Mohammed Siraj cannot believe it. England players come over to console him.

IND 170 all out

England win by 23 runs.

Nasty short delivery from Jofra Archer, and Siraj is in pain. The No. 11 has batted 28 balls so far, but this is a sharp bouncer from the English pacer. He is back up, though. Jadeja on strike as Bashir returns from the other end. 6 overs to the new ball.

IND 169/9 (74)

Mohammed Siraj, that is bold! He first takes a single on the last ball off Archer's over, keeps strike for the next, and then sneaks another single on the first ball of the next over by Bashir. Every run being cheered now. India need 25 to win.

IND 168/9 (73)

Play resumes after Tea on Day 5! Shoaib Bashir is back into the attack. Jadeja and Siraj at the crease, carrying more than a billion hopes with them. One run off the over. And here comes Jofra Archer! A man whose fastest delivery is 152.3 kmph. Intense.

IND 164/9 (71)

Who would've thought at the start of the day that this Test would go right up to the final session? Incredible fight shown by Jadeja, Bumrah and Siraj, and India are still alive in this Test. We are 10 overs away from the new ball, which could add more spice to an already fascinating Test match.

Tea on Day 5! India have survived, against all the odds. They stand 30 runs away from victory. Ravindra Jadeja has hit a heroic fifty, and has received incredible support from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. Huge cheer from the Lord's crowd as they walk off. ONE MORE SESSION TO GO!

IND 163/9 (70)

Mohammed Siraj, wow! He has just timed it magnificently through the covers. Not enough to go all the way to the boundary, but the batters run 2. First runs for Siraj, coming on his 19th ball. India need 31 to win.

IND 162/9 (69)

Ravindra Jadeja has gone up for a break! Might be a toilet break for the all-rounder, who has been batting at the crease for over two hours due to Tea being extended. Well-earned break. India need 34 runs more to win.

IND 159/9 (68)

50 for Ravindra Jadeja! His second half-century of the match, but what an innings this has been. Wide outside off-stump from Stokes, Jadeja flashes hard and it goes over the slip cordon and into the boundary. No sword celebration from Jadeja. Job's not finished.

IND 158/9 (67.1)

Very close! Siraj nearly jabs a bouncer to fielder at forward short-leg. The ball reached the man but he just couldn't get his fingers down in time. Siraj living dangerously here, but he has survived the first 4 balls.

And Siraj survives all 6! Maiden over for Carse.

IND 154/9 (67)

Jadeja gets a boundary! He flicks Stokes between fine-leg and deep square-leg and moves up to 49. India need less than 40 runs to win now. But, crucially, Mohammed Siraj is now on strike for the next over.

IND 154/9 (66)

150 up for India. Jadeja takes India there with a single. Mohammed Siraj must face two deliveries now. And he survives! Two snorters from Carse -- one on the body, one over the head. 43 more runs to win.

IND 150/9 (65)

Mohammed Siraj has survived 7 balls. 64 overs completed. Looks like Tea has been extended, with England needing just one more wicket. India still need 44 more runs to pull off a historic win.

IND 149/9 (64)

Jasprit Bumrah departs! Oh dear, oh dear. Bumrah goes for a big shot and ends up skying it. Substitute fielder Sam Cook takes the catch and England captain Ben Stokes has got the big wicket. Bumrah is devastated, Jadeja is dismal. India still need 46 runs to win.

Bumrah's patient knock ends after 54 balls. He is out for 5.

IND 147/9 (61.3)

Boundary for India! Off the pads, past leg-slip and forward short-leg and through fine-leg for 4. India need less than 50 now -- 48 more to win. First boundary in 11.1 overs (67 balls) for India. These two continue to battle.

IND 145/8 (59)

Jasprit Bumrah is really playing beyond expectations. 44 balls, 4 runs. Be it Archer, Bashir or Stokes, Bumrah's block has been superb. India's run-rate is really crawling at this point, with only 15 runs scored in the last 13 overs.

IND 140/8 (58)

Sure enough, Shoaib Bashir is into the attack. England have brought their lead spinner back, despite his injury concerns. Bumrah's defence has been excellent and Jadeja has rotated strike whenever necessary. England trying something different.

Bashir bowls a maiden. Bumrah on strike at the start of the next over.

IND 138/8 (55)

England off-spinner Shoaib Bashir is back on the pitch, perhaps hinting that England are planning to give him the ball to break this partnership. Bashir suffered an injury to his little finger on Day 3. But Bumrah and Jadeja have lasted nearly 15 overs now.

IND 137/8 (53)

Interesting tactic by England. Bumrah and Jadeja have the pacers well, so Stokes tries spin. With no Bashir on the pitch, Root will be trying to take advantage of the rough patches on the pitch. A slip in place. And Bumrah defends Root too!

IND 137/8 (53)

Ravindra Jadeja has now batted 101 balls in the Test. He has played an excellent knock so far, but it's far from done -- at least India would hope so. Jasprit Bumrah is blocking well at the other end. India still need 57.

IND 136/8 (52)

50 overs have been completed in the India innings. Jasprit Bumrah has held strong after coming out to bat, blocking well and even hitting a boundary. Jadeja is at the other end, and as long as he stays, India will have hope of victory.

IND 134/8 (50)

Jadeja goes big! Maximum from the all-rounder. The very next ball after surviving through DRS, Jadeja comes down the track and clears mid-wicket for a 6. What a show of intent from the all-rounder. India need 62 more.

IND 131/8 (47.5)

DRS saves Jadeja! Trapped on the pads by Chris Woakes, umpire does not hesitate to raise his finger. Jadeja goes up with a DRS review, and he is saved! The impact is outside off stump and India's hopes stay alive.

IND 125/8 (47.4)

Great defence from Jasprit Bumrah. Short stuff, full stuff, outside off -- he has an answer. Excellent blocking. Plays out a maiden, and Jadeja will be on strike for Woakes' next over. India still 70 runs away. 

IND 123/8 (45)

Maiden over from Chris Woakes to Jadeja, the all-rounder fails to get the single to take strike in the next over. Jasprit Bumrah will be on strike at the start of the next over to face Jofra Archer. This will be interesting. 

IND 123/8 (44)

Jasprit Bumrah! Slams a boundary over mid-wicket. Short of a length from Archer and pulled away mightily by India's pace spearhead. The Indian fans at Lord's are on their feet, that has brought out a huge cheer.

IND 123/8 (43)

Boundary! First one after Lunch. Jadeja flicks it behind, past a diving Jamie Smith. India's required tally drops below 80. Meanwhile, the sun is out at Lord's. That will be good news for India. Can Bumrah hold strong?

IND 117/8 (41)

We are back after Lunch! Jasprit Bumrah survives the final three balls of Woakes' over, and Jadeja will take strike now. All eyes on India's jersey No. 8. One of India's finest-ever all-rounders needs to be India's Superman today.

IND 112/8 (40)

The highest partnership for the 9th or 10th wicket in Indian cricket history is 81. VVS Laxman and Ishant Sharma did it many years ago. How many runs do India still need? You guessed it, 81. Can Jadeja do so, with Siraj or Bumrah? 

Lunch. Ravindra Jadeja is the only recognized batter remaining. Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Washington Sundar were outdone by a combination of breathtaking bowling and smart captaincy from Archer and Stokes. Then Jadeja and Reddy tried to hang on, but the game is nearly gone now. India need a miracle.

IND 112/8 (39.3)

Big wicket! That is the worst way to end the first session for India. Reddy had been resilient for so, so long but he nicks one to Jamie Smith and Chris Woakes strikes in the final over before Lunch. India are 8 wickets down and still have miles to go.

IND 112/8 (39.3)

This has been a fascinating session so far. England started off incredibly, taking 3 huge wickets in the first 40 minutes. But Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Reddy have held strong, resilient amidst excellent spells by Archer, Stokes and Carse. Still 81 to get. Long way to go for India.

IND 112/7 (39)

Here's how the incident between Brydon Carse and Ravindra Jadeja panned out. Carse appeared furious at Jadeja there, with the Indian all-rounder's eyes fixed at the ball.

Jadeja was clearly looking at ball
Why Carse try to grab and stop him after that accidental hit? Bldy cheaters. #INDvsEND pic.twitter.com/onLaex5ndN

Nitish Reddy hits his first boundary! It has taken him 40 balls to do so. He finally gets into double digits. Full, outside off, Reddy slams it into the air and sees it go for 4. Welcome runs for India. The required total drops below 90.

IND 107/7 (36)

India attempted to take a couple of runs, but Jadeja collided with Brydon Carse while trying to take the first run. The England pacer is livid at Jadeja, and appears to be exchanging words. Stokes has to hold back Carse. It is all going down at Lord's.

IND 103/7 (35)

Nitish Reddy and Ben Stokes have a stare-off and exchange a few words at the end of the 34th over. The England captain appeared to approach Reddy and tell him a few words. Reddy shakes his head. Stokes retreats with a smile.

Soon after, Brydon Carse comes and appears to be having a war of words with Reddy. Points a finger at him too.

IND 103/7 (35)

100 up for India! Big cheer from the Indian fans at Lord's. Nitish Reddy and Ravindra Jadeja continue to battle. 93 more to get, a mountain to climb. But India are still in it. Ben Stokes coming to the end of a fiery spell.

IND 100/7 (32)

That was close! Good short delivery from Brydon Carse, gets an outside edge off Jadeja's bat but it falls just short of Joe Root at first-slip. India's score up to 99, and on the fringes of the three-figure mark. Jadeja and Reddy playing with caution.

IND 99/7 (31)

End of a tumultous 10-over period for India. From 66/4 to 97/7 in 10 overs' time. Nitish Reddy and Ravindra Jadeja are still facing the challenging conditions, with Archer bowling a long spell. But they've held fort. India need 96 more.

IND 97/7 (30)

Almost a big blunder! Jadeja wanted a quick single, but Reddy wasn't ready and turned it down at the last-minute. India were on the verge of going 8 down. Jadeja isn't happy with Reddy. Runs coming slowly for India, but these two wickets hold huge value.

IND 95/7 (29)

Important runs for India! 5 wides, and these are valuable runs. India need 100 more, and their last two recognized batters are at the crease. Can Jadeja and Nitish Reddy pull off a historic win from here?

IND 93/7 (27)

Sunil Gavaskar raises a big question at the DRS technology, pointing out that there were big deviations shown in the deliveries that appeared plumb on Day 4, yet the delivery that saw Rahul get out appeared to be going over.
"Surprisingly this one didn’t bounce that much. When Indian bowlers were bowling, balls were going above the stump mostly in reviews.  I am questioning the technology," Gavaskar says.

Jofra Archer, wow! India are falling apart, England are rising. Washington Sundar tries a flick, but the outside edge sends it the other way. And Jofra Archer takes a superb diving one-handed catch! India are 7 wickets down, and a win seems improbable now.

IND 82/7 (25)

England take DRS! Ben Stokes with a huge shout, trapping KL Rahul on the pads. Umpire says no, but the England captain looks very convinced. And it is OUT! Stunning review from England and KL Rahul is gone!

IND 81/6 (23.4)

Ravindra Jadeja gets his first boundary! Thick outside edge and the ball arrows past the slip cordon and goes for 4 through third-man. England won't mind these. The ball is doing bits, and that is good news for England. Archer is bowling a terrific spell.

IND 79/4 (22.4)

Archer gets Pant! Clean bowled, that is an absolute ripper from the pacer. Nips back in, hits top of off-stump. That is the perfect response from Archer, and Lord's has erupted. Archer makes an aggressive celebration and appeared to sledge Pant as well after the dismissal.

IND 71/5 (20.5)

Rishabh Pant will play his way! Archer changes to a full length and Pant comes down the track and hammers it for 4 down the ground. Second boundary from the maverick southpaw. India's total crosses 70.

IND 71/4 (20.3)

India survive the first 2.3 overs of the day. 20 overs complete in the Indian second innings. Rishabh Pant has slammed a boundary on Day 4, while KL Rahul has looked solid. Rahul is on 36, and will be eyeing another half-century.

IND 66/4 (20)

First boundary! Rishabh Pant sends the Indian fans at Lord's into rapture. Poor ball on the pads from Jofra Archer, and flicked away through fine-leg. Archer then resorts to the short deliveries to Pant, targetting the chest. 'Bodyline' tactics once again from Stokes' men?

IND 63/4 (18.4)

We are LIVE! Ben Stokes bowling, Rishabh Pant new at the crease. 3 balls to go in the over! 135 runs needed by India. England hunting for 6 wickets. A packed crowd at the iconic Lord's Cricket Ground. Buckle up, folks. This is the pinnacle of cricket. 

IND 58/4 (17.4)

We are less than 5 minutes away from the start of day's play at Lord's. India need 135 runs to go 2-1 up. England need 6 wickets to do the same. It can go either way. A nail-biting finish could be on the cards. All eyes on Rahul and Pant. Can they survive the opening phase?

While India did lose 4 wickets, they still have 5 batters left. KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant have been India's best batters so far in this Test, but Jadeja, Nitish Reddy and Washington Sundar are more than handy with bat in hand. 

Yesterday's play showed us that there is enough rough on the pitch for the spinners to make an impact, and Washington Sundar did exactly that. As a result, Shoaib Bashir -- who got injured on Day 3 -- might hold the key for the hosts. But will he bowl? We have to wait and see.

If India are to chase down 193 today, they'll become only the second Indian team to win back-to-back Test matches on English soil. The first instance happened in 1986, when Kapil Dev led India to consecutive wins at Lord's and Headingley. 

KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are aiming to guide India to the big feat today. If India manage it, what a huge statement that would be from Shubman Gill's side.

England captain Ben Stokes is arguably his country's greatest-ever Test all-rounder, and he's shown his impeccable ability in this series. Despite not shining with the bat, Stokes has arguably been England's best bowler and made a mark in the final moments of Day 4 to dismiss Akash Deep and send India four-down.

Rishabh Pant will have to face the England captain on ball 1 of Day 5.

India captain Shubman Gill faced some sledging from the England team when he came out to bat on Day 4. "600 runs and he's done for this series. 600 runs is enough for this fella," said Ben Duckett, to Gill.
Gill will be hoping that India go on to win the match. That, in itself, would be a perfect response.

India all-rounder Washington Sundar did not complain despite the loss of 4 wickets in the final session. Sundar pointed out the positives, stating that they'll come out with intent to try and win the Test on the final day. Sundar took 4 wickets himself as England were bowled out for 192.
"We want so many things the way we expect it to be, but yes, we'll take it any day. We'll really come out positive tomorrow. We've got some solid batsmen in the dressing room. It's exciting in every way, you know, winning a Test in Lord's is going to be amazing. So, I think we're sitting pretty," Sundar said.

We are just 1 hour away from the start of play on Day 5! A very, very important day in the context of the series. Lord's, packed stadium, third Test, anyone's game. India need 135 runs to win, England need 6 wickets. Winner goes up 2-1 in the series.

Pacer Mohammed Siraj was penalised by ICC for his actions against Ben Duckett. Siraj was guilty of breaching Article 2.5 of the ICC Code of Conduct for Players and Player Support Personnel, which relates to “using language, actions or gestures which disparage or which could provoke an aggressive reaction from a batter upon his/her dismissal during an International Match".

India pacer Mohammed Siraj was accused of 'crossing the line' in his celebration of the dismissal of England opener Ben Duckett. The incident happened on the fourth day when Siraj produced a fiery opening spell to claim the scalps of Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope. After dismissing Duckett, the pacer celebrated close to the batter in his follow-through and made contact as the opener began his walk back to the Lord's long room.

England were bowled out for 192 in their second innings in 62.1 overs. Spin all-rounder Washington Sundar (4/22) starred with four wickets, while Mohammed Siraj (2/31) and Jasprit Bumrah (2/38) picked two each. Akash Deep also accounted for one wicket. Resuming the third session at 175 for 6, England lost their last four wickets for just 17 runs. Washington dismissed Stokes (33) shortly after tea and removed last man Shoaib Bashir (2). Bumrah claimed the scalps of Chris Woakes (10) and Brydon Carse (1).

Chasing 193 for victory, India ended day four at a precarious 58 for four in their second innings against England in the third Test at Lord's on Sunday. At stumps, KL Rahul was unbeaten on 33 after Ben Stokes cleaned up night-watchman Akash Deep with the last ball of the day. India lost opener Yashasvi Jaiswal (0), Karun Nair (14) and skipper Shubman Gill (6) cheaply to trail by 135 runs heading into the final day.

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Day 5 of the third Test between India and England, straight from the iconic Lord's in London. Stay tuned for all the live updates.
