ENG 2/0 at Stumps (Lead By 2 Runs) | India vs England 3rd Test 2025 Day 3 Highlights: Third Day Ends on Feisty Note After Both Teams Manage Same Score in First Innings

STUMPS on Day 3! The third day of the IND vs ENG 3rd Test 2025 has ended on a feisty note and although it was just one over from Jasprit Bumrah, there sure were a few entertaining moments. India were bowled out for 387, exactly what England had managed in their first innings. England then made their way out to bat and Zak Crawley managed to survive one over from Jasprit Bumrah. It was total drama at Lord's with Zak Crawley pulling out of his stance due to a sightscreen interruption and later, he called for a physio after being hit on his finger. Shubman Gill was absolutely irate and had a heated argument with Zak Crawley and it was just one over which was possible in England's second innings. Earlier, it was KL Rahul who stole the show with a stellar century while Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja hit half-centuries. For England, Chris Woakes was the best bowler with three wickets (3/84) while Ben Stokes (2/63) and Jofra Archer (2/52) took two wickets each. Brydon Carse (1/88) and Shoaib Bashir (1/59) scalped one wicket each. 

OUT! India are 387 all out, much like England and this just goes to show how evenly-contested this match has been. Jofra Archer is the bowler who picked up the last wicket with Washington Sundar being the batter to be dismissed. England will come out to bat in a short period of time.Washington Sundar c Harry Brook b Jofra Archer 23(76)

OUT! Chris Woakes has struck and has taken the wicket of Jasprit Bumrah! The ball was pitched outside off-stump and Jasprit Bumrah got an outside edge with Jamie Smith doing the rest. Jasprit Bumrah c Jamie Smith b Chros Woakes 0(8)

OUT! Akash Deep has to depart with Brydon Carse taking the wicket. It is a good catch at second slip by Harry Brook and India are just two runs away from England's total. Akash Deep c Harry Brook b Brydon Carse 7(10)

OUT! Chris Woakes has struck and he has picked up the wicket of Ravindra Jadeja! The left-hander was caught down the leg-side and England bring an end to this massive partnership. Ravindra Jadeja c Jamie Smith b Chris Woakes 72(131)

India have inched closer to England's total and are just 31 runs away. Ravindra Jadeja, the half-centurion, is key here for India as the visitors aim at surpassing the score and also taking a lead. 

FIFTY for Ravindra Jadeja and it is the third consecutive time in Tests that he has gone past  the mark. It has been a very good knock from the all-rounder and he will look to make it a big score as India aim at overhauling England's target. 

OUT! Ben Stokes has struck and England have broken this partnership. The ball which is relatively new touched the edge of Nitish Kumar Reddy as it went past him with Jamie Smith taking a good catch. England will be delighted with this wicket. Nitish Kumar Reddy c Jamie Smith b Ben Stokes 30(91)

The post-tea session has resumed and both Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy will look to extend their partnership. India are now 70 runs away from England's total and one can get a feeling that it will be overhauled in this session. 

TEA on Day 3! It has been another excting session of cricket with India now cutting down England's lead to just 71 runs. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Ravindra Jadeja's partnership has yielded 62 runs and this stand has lifted the innings after Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul were dismissed on either side of the lunch break. England did manage just one wicket with Shoaib Bashir dismissing KL Rahul and apart from that, their bowling hasn't posed much threat. There also could have been some run outs with the two Indian batters lacking in communication at times and apart from that, it has been a smooth partnership.

The Ravindra Jadeja-Nitish Kumar Reddy partnership has steadied India's innings after KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant departed in quick succession. Both the batters have slowly gotten India into a position of safety with less than 100 runs needed now for India to overhaul England's total. 

Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy have joined forces and the two will look to form a partnership here. India need a big knock from one of these two to get close to the England total and even overhaul it. Meanwhile, England will eye quick wickets after dismissing both set batters in KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant on either side of the lunch break. 

OUT! Shoaib Bashir has struck and he has brought England with the big wicket of KL Rahul. A flighted delivery which saw KL Rahul poke at it and Harry Brook did not make a mistake in taking the catch. India have lost both set batters in either side of the break. KL Rahul c Harry Brook b Shoaib Bashir 100(177)

HUNDRED for KL Rahul! The right-hander has batted with a lot of maturity and composure and it has been truly been an outstanding knock. A solid performance from KL Rahul and he will look to make it a big one here. This is also his second hundred at Lord's. 

OUT! Against the run of play, England have got a wicket and it is that of Rishabh Pant who has been run out. The left-hander attempted a quick single with KL Rahul keen on getting back on strike but a direct hit from Ben Stokes has caught the wicketkeeper-batter short of the crease. India have lost a wicket at the stroke of lunch and England would have a bit of momentum going into the break. Meanwhile, KL Rahul is nearing his second century at Lord's, remaining unbeaten on 98. 

FIFTY for Rishabh Pant and it has been a fascinating knock! The Indian wicketkeeper-batter did not take the field for a good part of the first two days after being struck on his left index finger but he has made an impact with the bat in this innings, getting to his half-century with a six off Ben Stokes' bowling. India will hope that this knock turns out to be a big one.

The partnership between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant is going pretty well for India. Both the batters have started to find the boundaries on a consistent basis and now, the pressure is slowly shifting on England. England's lead has come below 200 runs now. 

It has been a sedate start from India on Day 3. While KL Rahul has looked solid defensively, Rishabh Pant, time and again, has attempted to play some adventurous shots. 

KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant are out in the middle and they have resumed proceedings for India with the bat on Day 3. Rishabh Pant hit two boundaries in the first over bowled by Jofra Archer and is in visible pain because of his injury. 

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of Day 3 of the IND vs ENG 3rd Test at the Lord's Cricket Ground. India will look to stitch a partnership here while England eye early wickets. The action will get underway soon.
