England clinched a thrilling 22-run win over India in the third Test at Lord’s, taking a 2-1 series lead. Jofra Archer, inspired by Sourav Ganguly’s iconic 2002 shirt-waving moment, delivered a match-winning spell, dismissing Rishabh Pant and Washington Sundar. Ben Stokes revealed Archer mistook the NatWest final for the 2019 World Cup anniversary, adding humor to the drama. Ravindra Jadeja’s unbeaten 61 kept India in the chase, but England’s seamers prevailed. Stokes and Archer shared ten wickets, with Shoaib Bashir sealing the win. Stokes, fresh off injury, led from the front and was named Player of the Match. The fourth Test begins July 23 in Manchester. (PC: Reuters & The Times of India)
