India faced a crushing 22-run defeat on Day 5 of the third Test at Lord’s, falling short while chasing 193. Ravindra Jadeja fought valiantly with a gritty unbeaten 61 off 181 balls. But with India’s top order collapsing early, the team was bowled out for 170 and fell 22 runs short. England’s Shoaib Bashir, battling a fractured finger, sealed the win as he bowled Mohammed Siraj — his third wicket of the innings.
England Beat India by 22 Runs
Earlier in the day, the team was reeling at 112/8, but late resistance from Bumrah and Siraj kept hopes alive. Ben Stokes was pivotal, scoring 44 and 33 in both innings, taking five wickets, and producing a crucial run-out of Rishabh Pant. Jofra Archer, returning to Test cricket, was impressed with the figures of 3/55. England now leads the five-match series 2–1. After the match, Ben Stokes displayed true sportsmanship by consoling Siraj and Jadeja—an emotional end to a classic Lord’s battle.
