India seemed to be right on top of this game after bundling out England for 192 runs, but the final innings saw the Three Lions making a sensational comeback. India still need 135 runs to win with six wickets in hand. The match is perfectly poised for the final day as nobody knows who is going to win it. Do join us for Day 5 of the game. Good-bye.

Akash Deep has been cleaned up by Ben Stokes. India are four down. That was pitched up from Ben Stokes. That was angling into Akash before shaping away and hitting his off-stump. India are in massive trouble here. They are four down for just 58 runs on the board in the chase of 193.

IND 58/4 (17.4)

Right after the DRS was taken was Akash Deep following the third ball of the over. The India player asked for the physio and then the England fans booed India. They might be thinking it could be a time-wasting strategy from Akash.

A nip-backer from Brydon Carse again and this time it hit Akash Deep right on the front foot. It seemed like touch and go. Umpire gave it not out but England reviewed it. The ball was found to be clipping the top of leg stump. It stays not out due to ground umpire's decision. Akash is lucky there! 

Brydon Carse has got the wicket of Shubman Gill and not even a review could save the India Test captain this time. It came into Gill really sharp and hit him on the front foot below his knee. Umpire raised his finger over the appeal for an LBW and Gill took a review only to waste it. India are three down. 

That was a proper peach from Brydon Carse. He bowled a fuller ball, angling into Shubman Gill before it shaped away from the batter. Gill went for a drive and ended up missing it. A huge shout for a caught behind followed and umpire Paul Reiffel raised his finger. Gill quickly reviwed it only to find out that there was a daylight gap between the bat and the ball.

Breakthrough for England! The 36-run partnership for the third wicket has been broken. Karun Nair is out for 14 runs off 33 balls. That was a good length delivery from Brydon Carse that nipped back and hit Nair on the front foot. That was poor judgement from Nair as he had lifted his bat to leave the ball. Umpire raised his finger over an appeal for LBW and Nair decided not to review it.    

Wow! That was a peach of a delivery from Ben Stokes to KL Rahul. It was angling into the batter, bowled at short of length from Stokes. The ball shaped away after pitching while also rising abruptly from the surface. Rahul was squared up, but lucky that he didn't get an edge there.

Brilliant adjustment from KL Rahul! It was a good length ball around off-stump from Ben Stokes. Rahul defended it with opening the face of his bat a bit and guiding the ball right through the gap between the second slip and gully fielders. 

IND 35/1 (9.1)

KL Rahul seemed to have gone into a shell but once Chris Woakes dropped his catch, the batter came up with a lot of confidence after that. Rahul has three fours since that. On the other hand, Karun Nair also hit a four. The counter-attack put the England pacers under pressure as they have a small target of 193 to defend.  

IND 28/1 (8)

That was an expensive over from Jofra Archer as the England pace spearhead conceded 9 runs in it. Karun Nair played a beautiful drive on the first ball of the over for a four, while Rahul too hit a drive on the fourth ball for the second boundary in the over.

After a dropped catch on the third ball, KL Rahul slammed Chris Woakes for consecutive fours in the over. He hit the first one through a backfoot punch, while the second one was a glorious cover drive for a four. Eight runs came off the over.

Chris Woakes bowled a fuller ball to KL Rahul and the India batter played it back to the bowler. It went really quick and Woakes failed to take the catch. The ball burst out of his hands. Rahul gets a life early on in his innings.

Chris Woakes has bowled a maiden over to KL Rahul. The new ball is moving really well. India are feeling the pressure and one could sense that through KL Rahul's game. He is finding it really hard to counter the swing and seam bowling from England. 

An early breathrough for England! Jofra Archer has got the wicket of Yashasvi Jaiswal. It was a short ball from Archer outside off-stump. Jaiswal tried to pull it and ended up getting a top edge on it. The ball went high in the air and was caught comfortably by England wicketkeeper Jamie Smith.

That is a poor delivery from Jofra Archer. He bowled a fuller delivery onto the pads of KL Rahul and the batter comfortably flicked it away for a four through fine leg. India are off the mark and so is Rahul!

IND  4/0 (1.2)

Chris Woakes bowls a good length delivery outside off-stump to the start the final innings. Yashasvi Jaiswal lets it go. India need to be careful at the start of this chase as the new ball does a lot for the pacers.

Indian openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal enter the ground. England players are in a huddle. They have their task cut out as they needed to defend a target of 193 against India. With three sessions and around one and half hours of play left, this match is going to a winner, be it India or England.

Washington Sundar has defeated Shoaib Bashir's defence and that is it from the England innings. The ball missed the outside edge of Bashir's bat and hit the off-stump. That is the fourth wicket for Sundar. England are all out for 192 and India get a target of 193 to chase down in the fourth innings. 

ENG 192 (62.1)

Just one run came off the over from Jasprit Bumrah. Shoaib Bashir was on strike at the start of the over but he managed to get a single on the second ball. Jofra Archer the faced the rest of the balls. 

Shoaib Bashir, who had injured the finger of his left hand while trying to stop a shot of Ravindra Jadeja, has come out to bat after the fall of the 9th wicket. India need just one wicket to stop England below a 200-run total.

ENG 190/9 (60)

A firing delivery from Jasprit Bumrah and Chris Woakes has played it on his stumps. That nipped back in sharply and Woakes got the inside edge of his bat to the stumps. ENGLAND ARE NINE DOWN with just 185-run lead. India are right on top of this game. 

On the fifth ball of the over, Jasprit Bumrah bowled a fuller delivery as Jofra Archer missed his drive. Wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel grabbed the ball behind the stumps. India felt that Archer had got a nick there so they decided to review it as umpire was unconvinced. UltraEdge confirmed that there was no contact between bat and ball.

ENG 184/8 (56)

Wow! Wow! Wow! That is a terrific yorker from Jasprit Bumrah and he sends new batter Brydon Carse packing. The ball hit the leg stump and England are eight down now. That was a superb delivery from Bumrah. It was fired and angling into the stumps. Carse got his front foot out to defend it and failed.

Ben Stokes is GONE! Washington Sundar, you beauty! This spinner has turned the game on its head and India are right on top now. That was angles into Stokes and he went for a slog-sweep but the ball spun and straightened after pitching and hit the stump. That is the third wicket for Sundar.

You miss, I hit.
Washington Sundar goes straight through Ben Stokes with a beauty!
The England skipper had no answer, Sundar gets the big reward.#ENGvIND 3rd TEST, DAY 4 | LIVE NOW on JioHotstar https://t.co/vo6bbH9n2o pic.twitter.com/ZAU3VKgTLK

Shubman Gill missed a direct hit and that saw Ben Stokes survive. The southpaw tapped the Jasprit Bumrah delivery right into the hands of Shubman Gill with a bounce at mid-off and ran for a single. Had it hit the stumps, Stokes was gone! The India captain has missed a huge chance here. 

Washington Sundar started with a fuller delivery outside off-stump to Ben Stokes. The England captain drives it to the fielder at cover. The third session of play begins. After playing five dot balls, Stokes managed to get a single on the last ball of the over and retain strike.

ENG 176/6 (53)

Joe Root was starting to settle, and we all know what happens when he does...
But #WashingtonSundar had other ideas.

This was a good session for India as they picked two wickets while England scored 77 runs in 27 overs. Washington Sundar was the hero for India as he dismissed Joe Root and Jamie Smith. The pitch is troubling the batters a lot now. Ben Stokes (27 not out) is the key for England to post a fighting total from this point.

Washington Sundar has made solid impact in this game with these two crucial wickets. Bahot Sundar.

— Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) July 13, 2025

Washington Sundar bowled a half-volley to Chris Woakes and the batter drove it down the ground for a four. There was only a mid-wicket fielder so Woakes placed the ball in the vacant mid-on region for the boundary. Good shot!

ENG 170/6 (48.5)

Jamie Smith is GONE! Washington Sundar is doing the magic here for India. It straightened after pitching on the surface and Smith missed it completely. He went for the turn and the ball thus missed his outside edge and took his off-stump. ENGLAND ARE 6 DOWN!

The pitch has already started created problem for the batters through variable bounce. India should aim to bundle out England before 250 as chasing on this surface is going to be really tough. England on the other hand need just one good partnership to put India under tremendous pressure.  

Massive wicket for India this is! Joe Root has been cleaned up by Washington Sundar! He went for a sweep shot but missed that ball completely. The ball his the leg stump. Root is out for 40 runs and the partnership for the 5th wicket has been broken after England added 67 runs. Huge relief for India.

ENG 154/5 (42.4)

England have 150 runs on the board with two set batters at the crease and six wickets still in hand. The duo of Joe Root and Ben Stokes have stitched 63 runs so far for the fifth wicket. The pitch is deteriorating with the passage of play and for India the fourth innings is going to be a huge challenge.

On the third ball of Mohammed Siraj's over, Joe Root went out of his crease and across the stumps. He missed the ball as it nipped in hit him on the front foot. Umpire gave it not out and it stayed the same even if India reviwed it. The impact was between the off and middle stump, but the ball tracking suggested that it would have clipped the leg stump on umpire's call. "The impact was between off and middle stumps and you are saying that it is going to miss the leg stump? No way that the ball is going to move that much," said Gavaskar.

ENG 145/4 (38)

Jasprit Bumrah was taken off the attack and the ball was handed to Ravindra Jadeja. This is the first time a spinner bowled in this innings. Four runs came off the over. The partnership between Joe Root and Ben Stokes is 53 now.

ENG 140/4 (37)

A short of length ball outside off-stump from Jasprit Bumrah and Ben Stokes threw his bat to it. The fielder at gully put a jump but the ball went past him easily to run away for a four. Runs keep coming for England. The duo of Stokes and Joe Root have added 42 runs so far.

ENG 129/4 (34.3)

That nipped back in from Mohammed Siraj and hit Joe Root on the front pad. An appeal for an LBW followed after that. Umpire gave it not out as the impact was well outside off-stump. Shubman Gill had a discussion with players before deciding not to take the review.

Jasprit Bumrah bowled a maiden over to England captain Ben Stokes. He bowled some really tight deliveries. The balls that nipped in troubled Stokes, hitting him on the body, but he was lucky that either they were missing leg stump or going over.

Joe Root was extremely lucky there. Mohammed Siraj bowled a fuller ball to the right-handed batter, who tried to drive it. Root got a thick inside edge. The ball hit his back pad and then got deflected to miss the stumps.

A short of length ball from Jasprit Bumrah nipped back in and hit Joe Root on the pad of front foot. A loud should for an LBW followed. Umpire was unconvinved and India stayed satisfied with the decision. 

A short ball from Mohammed Siraj nipped back into Ben Stokes and hit the player around the box. It hit him really hard and Stokes laid down on the floor after the blow. It seems that it is not serious as the play resumes with Akash Deep continuing from the other end. 

Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj have been bowling in tandem in the play post first session. Akash Deep has conceded just 5 runs in his two overs, while Siraj leaked 9 runs his first over after Lunch as Ben Stokes hit him for a four. 

The second session of play began with Akash Deep bowling the first over. Dhruv Jurel dropped the catch of Joe Root on the first ball of the over but it doesn't concern India much as Akash had already bowled a no-ball. After the catch was dropped, umpire signalled a no-ball. 

India are at a good position after the end of the first session on Day 4 of this third Test. They should aim to stop England before 200. It should be chased down easily by India, irrespective of the conditions. Anything above 200 could be a challenging total.

This marks the end of the first session on Day 4 of the third Test between India and England at Lord's. At Lunch, England's score read 98/4 with Joe Root (17*) and Ben Stokes (2*) standing unbeaten at the crease as England lead by 98 runs. For India, Mohammed Siraj took two wickets while Nitish Reddy and Akash Deep took one wicket each.

Both Joe Root and Ben Stokes are playing a careful game. They are not taking any risks. In the previous over of Akash Deep, the duo scores 4 runs. 

ENG 91/4 (24 overs)

OUT!!! After such an intense hitting from Harry Brook, pacer Akash Deep redeems himself and removes him for 23. Pitched right up and slanted in at the stumps, probably anticipating a funky shot, and Brook obliges. He bends across to sweep and is bowled behind his legs as the ball sneaks through to crash into middle. Fourth wicket gone for England. 

ENG 87/4 (21.3 overs)

WOAHHH!!! Finally a sigh of relief for England as Harry brook goes berserk. He unleashes his fury on Akash Deep. The pacer, who got a 10-fer in the previous game, gets hit for two back-to-back boundaries and a maximum by Brook as he concedes 15 runs. England get a revival from here as they aim for more such overs. 

ENG 77/3 (20 overs)

FOUR!!! Joe Root hits a good boundary off Akash Deep's delivery. A good length ball outside off, nips away slightly too, but Root goes after it on the front foot and cracks it away through point. Root and Harry Brook are trying to form a good partnership, in order to bring England back in the game. 

ENG 61/3 (18 overs)

After his strategy of bringing-in Nitish Kumar Reddy pays off, skipper Shubman Gill hands over the ball to Akash Deep. The pacer delivers a maiden in his first over as Joe Root and Harry Brook are cautiously moving ahead. Three-down England are now on backfoot. 

ENG 51/3 (16 overs)

OUT!!! Shubman Gill's change in strategy works as Nitish Kumar Reddy provides India with the wicket of Zak Crawley for 22. Reddy confuses Crawley with his pace as the ball hits the thick edge and Yashasvi Jaiswal takes an excellent catch at the gully. Third wicket gone for England. 

ENG 50/3 (14.4 overs)

Shubman Gill changes the strategy and hands over the ball to Nitish Kumar Reddy. In his first over, the all-rounder concedes six runs, which include a boundary from Zak Crawley. India are eyeing another wicket, in order to end the first session with complete dominance. 

ENG 48/2 (13 overs)

OUT!!! Mohammed Siraj doe sit again and this time, he dismisses the dangerous Ollie Pope for four. Siraj traps Pope with his pace and hits directly onto the pads. The on-field umpire signals not out but Siraj convinces Shubman Gill to opt for a DRS review. The third umpire then gives the decision in the favour of India and Pope for declared LBW out. England lose their second wicket. 

ENG 42/2 (12 overs)

Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope are forming a good partnership and slowly filling the gap caused by Ben Duckett's wicket. They are not playing any reckless shot and taking any risks. In the previous over of Jasprit Bumrah, the duo score two runs. 

ENG 38/1 (11 overs)

India star pacer Jasprit Bumrah is yet to scalp a wicket in the first session on Day 4 of the third Test against England. The English batters Zak Crawley and Ollie Pope are carefully moving ahead and not taking any risks against Bumrah. They are stealing boundaries but not playing any reckless shot. In the previous over of Bumrah, the duo scores six runs. 

ENG 36/1 (9 overs)

FOUR!!! Ollie Pope hits a brilliant boundary off Jasprit Bumrah's delivery. Pacy short ball explodes off the surface and takes the shoulder of the bat as Pope tries to defend. He closes the bat face a touch and the ball flies off the splice edge over the slip cordon. One bounce and into the third man fence in a hurry. 

ENG 27/1 (7 overs)

OUT!!! Mohammed Siraj gives India their first wicket as he dismisses Ben Duckett for 12. Siraj uses his pace to trap Duckett as the English batter tries to go for a big hit, only to find Jasprit Bumrah at the mid-on. What follows is a fiery send-off from Siraj, who punches the air to celebrate the dismissal. 

ENG 22/1 (5.5 overs)

Such competitiveness from both ends is making the game more fierce. In the previous over, Mohammed Siraj troubles the English openers with his ultimate pace. The duo of Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett score just one run as India are desperate for a wicket in the first session. 

ENG 11/0 (4 overs)

A brilliant moment takes place as Jasprit Bumrah almost traps Zak Crawley with his ultimate pace but the scene give a Day 3 deja-vu to the fans. The ball hits on the glove of Crawley as the batter screams in pain. The ball was in the air for sometime as Bumrah tries to grab the catch but fails to complete it. This similar incident took place on Day 3 when one of Bumrah's deliveries hit on Crawley's glove, which eventually led to a big chaos. 

ENG 10/0 (3 overs)

WOAH!!! England off to a good start on Day 4 of the third Test against India. In the first over of the day by Mohammed Siraj, the duo of Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett steal seven runs. This include a boundary from byes. 

ENG 9/0 (2 overs)

Play begins on Day 4. England (387 all out and 2/0) lead India (387 all out) by two runs. Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett have resumed the proceedings for England. The duo need to form a solid partnership, in order to give an upper hand to England. Mohammed Siraj will be bowling the first over for India. 

"There's a bit of cloud cover but the forecast is for it to burn off. Sun has been beating down on this surface and there is a bit of rough. I would get the seamers bowling from the Nursery End. Think of Reddy getting Crawley out - seemed to bounce more. Bowl the seamers from the Nursery End and the spinners from the other end. Still a pretty flat pitch apart from that," said Nasser Hussain. 

'I would have done all that too, a little bit of argy-bargy is okay!'

"Following his left little finger injury, Shoaib Bashir continues to be monitored and is expected to bowl in the fourth innings of this Test. A decision on whether he will bat in the third innings will be made in due course. His involvement in the fourth Test at Emirates Old Trafford will be assessed at the end of the match," stated Cricbuzz about Shoaib Bashir. 

KL Rahul top-scored for the visitors with 100 off 177 balls to become only the second India batter to score more than one century at the hallowed venue, after Dilip Vengsarkar. Rishabh Pant contributed 74 off 112 balls before getting run out by Ben Stokes while going for an unnecessary single, ending a fourth-wicket partnership of 141 runs with Rahul at the stroke of lunch, while Jadeja chipped in with a 131-ball 72.

England reached two for no loss at stumps after bowling out India for 387 in the visitors' first innings on a seesawing day three of the third Test at Lord's on Saturday. At the close of play, Zak Crawley was batting on 2, while Ben Duckett was yet to open his account. Earlier, opener KL Rahul's fluent century and useful fifties by Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja helped India match England's first-innings total.

The commentators were questioning England's Bazball because of the approach adopted in the only over India bowled before stumps. Here's what transpired...

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the Day 4 of the third Test between India and England from the Lord's Test. The third day's play ended on a fiery note, prompting a clash between India captain Shubman Gill and England opener Zak Crawley. England only had to face one over from Jasprit Bumrah before stumps on Day 4. Will Crawly vs Gill 2.0 load as the match resumes today?
