🇮🇳 India’s first innings: No team could take the lead
India’s start was a bit slow. Last night Rahul played another classy knock and scored 100 runs. Pant also played attacking cricket and scored 74 runs. And in the end Ravindra Jadeja made a valuable contribution of 72 runs. But the order failed again. Team India also got all out after scoring 387 runs and none of the two teams got the lead.
England’s Woakes made crucial breakthroughs. They stopped India from scoring a big score by taking 3 important wickets. Jofra Archer and captain Ben Stokes also took 2-2 wickets each.
🏴☠️ England Ki Second Inning: Collapse But Recovery
In the second innings, England’s top order failed once again. Siraj and Nitish gave early strikes. But this time Joe Root (40 runs) and captain Stokes (33) showed patience and class. Along with this, the lower order added some important runs.
England managed only 192 runs, but the ball was turning on the pitch and it became a defundable target.
The total target for India was just 193 runs – but it was not as easy as it seemed!
🇮🇳 India’s second inning: Heartbreak on Final Day
India’s second innings was completely under pressure. Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill got out early. Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja resisted a bit, but as soon as their wickets fell, the batting collapsed.
Jadeja and Nitish made partnerships, but England’s pacers turned the game around. India finally got 170 all-out – England beat India by 22 runs in Lord’s!
The match became memorable as England were bowled out for 192 – a small target which epitomises the suspense of Test cricket.
