Tensions flare as India`s Lokesh Rahul shines with a century, setting the stage for a thrilling finish at Lord`s.

India`s batsmen displayed resilience on Day 3 of the 3rd Test at Lord`s, reaching 316-5 at tea, trailing England by 71 runs but eyeing a first-innings lead in this pivotal match of the five-test series, currently tied at 1-1. Lokesh Rahul, with a masterful touch, celebrated his 10th Test century with a quick single off Jofra Archer, only to be dismissed on the very next ball by Shoaib Bashir, caught at slip by Harry Brook.

The pressure mounted for India when Rishabh Pant was run out by England`s captain Ben Stokes just before lunch, leaving the team at 254-5. However, the partnership between Ravindra Jadeja (4 and Nitish Reddy (25) proved crucial, as they steadied the innings with an unbeaten 62-run stand. Meanwhile, Bashir was forced to leave the field due to a dislocated finger, adding to the drama.

England`s bowlers, particularly Archer (1-45) and Stokes (1-5, maintained a menacing presence but couldn`t secure further breakthroughs. The match has been marred by rising tensions, with finger-pointing and heated exchanges, prompting an apology from Sky for inappropriate language over the stump mic. With first innings scores tied at 387-all, the stage is set for a thrilling two-day shootout. For more insights, visit cricket and India vs England.
