At Lord’s, India trails England’s 387 by 190 runs, ending Day 3 at 197/3. KL Rahul (76) and Rishabh Pant (64) led a resilient fightback, frustrating England’s bowlers with a 100-run stand. Pant, battling a finger injury, opened with a boundary off Jofra Archer’s first ball. Jasprit Bumrah’s five-wicket haul and Joe Root’s 37th Test century earned both spots on the Honours Board. Ball-change controversies continued, with Jofra Archer joining India’s earlier complaints. England’s pace attack struggled with a soft Dukes ball, while Rahul’s hat-trick of boundaries against Brydon Carse highlighted India’s momentum shift. The Test remains finely poised as India eyes a first-innings lead. (PC: NDTV Sports & India Today)
