On Day 1 of the 3rd Test at Lord’s, Indian captain Shubman Gill’s bold strategy paid dividends when debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy struck twice in his very first over. Entering in the 14th over, Reddy removed England openers Ben Duckett (23) and Zak Crawley (18), reducing the hosts to 44/2. The England revival effort is now on Joe Root and Ollie Pope. Earlier, Bumrah, Akash Deep, and Mohammed Siraj kept things tight but could not breakthrough early. With the Test series tied 1-1, Reddy’s unexpected impact has swung early momentum in India’s favour. (PC: BCCI)
