London, July 13, 2025 — The legendary Lord’s Cricket Ground is bracing for a final-day showdown like no other as the third Test between England and India barrels toward a thrilling climax.
With India needing just 135 runs and England chasing six wickets, the iconic Lord’s Test is entering its most decisive and nail-biting phase.
This clash has delivered drama from the very first ball, and now, the fifth and final day promises an unforgettable finish. Fans have already packed every seat at Lord’s, eager to witness history. The tension is electric. All four results—win, loss, draw, or tie—are still possible, making this Test one of the most gripping in recent memory.
England, who posted 387 in the first innings, collapsed to 192 all out in their second. India, having matched England’s first-innings total of 387, now find themselves in a precarious position at 58/4 at stumps on Day 4. The pressure is immense, and with the sacred turf of Lord’s as the stage, legends will be made—or broken.
The day began with England fighting back, thanks to a gritty partnership between Joe Root and Ben Stokes. But Washington Sundar’s breakthrough tipped the balance. From 154/4, England crumbled, losing 5 wickets for just 38 runs. Sundar’s magical four-wicket haul and Bumrah’s precision bowling ensured India kept a lid on England’s lead.
Then came India’s second innings. Under the looming shadow of the Lord’s pavilion, Indian batters crumbled under pressure. Jaiswal fell early, Karun Nair tried to consolidate, but it was KL Rahul who emerged as the beacon of hope—dropped once, but still fighting. England’s Brydon Carse, who had struggled in the first innings, roared back with pace and venom, shaking India’s core in the dying embers of the day.
Now, with Day 5 looming, the cricketing world is holding its breath. Can India pull off a historic chase at Lord’s, or will England’s bowlers write their own heroic script in this classic Test? One thing is certain—the Lord’s Test is delivering pure, unfiltered cricketing theatre, and the finale could become one for the ages.
