India Struggles at Lord's: England Dominates Final Day

London, July 14 (PTI): India faced an uphill battle on the final day of the third Test against England at Lord's, finding themselves at a precarious 112 for eight by lunch on Monday.

Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Reddy put up resistance against a formidable English bowling attack. However, Chris Woakes managed to dismiss Reddy just before the lunch break, solidifying England’s strong position.

Jadeja remained not out with a score of 17 at the interval. Reddy departed for 13, leaving India needing another 81 runs to achieve an improbable victory.

Earlier in the session, Jofra Archer had made crucial breakthroughs by removing Rishabh Pant and Washington Sundar, while Ben Stokes managed the wicket of KL Rahul.

India started the day at 58 for four, requiring a disciplined effort to weather the skilled English pacers.

Brief scores: England posted scores of 387 and 192, while India managed 387 and 112/8 in 39.3 overs, with KL Rahul top-scoring with 39. Jofra Archer was instrumental with figures of 3/41.
