England finished Day 1 of the 3rd Test against India at Lord’s on a commanding 251/4, with Joe Root unbeaten on 99 and Ben Stokes on 39. The pair built an unbroken 79-run stand for the fifth wicket, steadying the innings after early breakthroughs by India. Nitish Reddy impressed with two quick wickets, while Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja took one each. Ollie Pope also contributed with a solid 44. Root’s near-century has put England in a strong position heading into Day 2. India will look for early wickets on Friday to regain control of the match. (PC: NDTV)
