India trails England by 242 runs in the 3rd Test at Lord’s. KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant steadied the innings after early setbacks, reaching 145/3 at stumps on Day 2. Rahul scored a composed 53, while Pant added 19, batting through a finger injury. England posted 387, powered by Joe Root’s 104 and lower-order fifties from Jamie Smith and Brydon Carse. Jasprit Bumrah claimed 5/74, earning a spot on the Lord’s Honours Board. Jofra Archer marked his return with a wicket in his third ball. India’s fightback hinges on the Rahul-Pant partnership as Day 3 begins with high stakes and a deteriorating pitch. (PC: News18 & NDTV Sports)
