India trails England by 71 runs in the 3rd Test at Lord’s. England posted 387, powered by Joe Root’s 37th Test century and late-order fifties from Jamie Smith and Brydon Carse. Jasprit Bumrah starred with a five-wicket haul, earning a spot on the Lord’s Honours Board. India responded with 316/5 at tea on Day 3, led by KL Rahul’s century and Rishabh Pant’s 74 before a run-out. Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy steadied the innings with a 50-run stand. Jofra Archer made a fiery return, while controversy brewed over repeated ball changes. The match remains finely poised in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series, currently tied 1-1.
