England had a cautious and steady day with the bat in hand at the Lord's during Day 1 of the India vs England third Test match. England won the toss and opted to bat first. Their cautious plan was visible from the start as Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley looked to preserve their wickets. But they were dismissed by Nitish Kumar Reddy against the run of play. Ollie Pope and Joe Root joined hands to stitch a steady partnership and they didn't lose a wicket in the session after lunch. First ball after Tea, Ravindra Jadeja dismissed Ollie Pope and soon after Harry Brook was cleaned up by Jasprit Bumrah. But once again it was the two veterans, Joe Root and Ben Stokes who showed resistance in an 'anti-Bazball' way and ended the day at a score of 251/4. Root remained unbeaten at the score of 99. 'Welcome to Boring Test Cricket' Shubman Gill Sledges England Batters, Hints They Are Not Playing 'Bazball' During IND vs ENG 3rd Test 2025 (Watch Video).
