India and England resumed their third Test at Lord’s on July 10, with England’s Ben Stokes winning the toss and opting to bat. India, fresh off a dominant Edgbaston win that levelled the series 1‑1, recalled Jasprit Bumrah for Prasidh. Bumrah and Akash Deep opened with disciplined spells, troubling Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley with early movement but without fortune. At stumps, England were 9/0. Shubman Gill, riding sensational form, including 269 and 161 in the second Test lost three tosses in a row yet retained confidence in bowling first. A green‑tinged Lord’s pitch and the slope promised seam opportunities. Sachin Tendulkar ceremonially rang the five‑minute bell to start play. (PC: Al Jazeera)
