England vs India: Late wickets burst from Ben Stokes’ side breathes life into third Test on day three | Cricket News
A exploded late counter by Chris Woakes and Brydon Carse helped lift England after working hard on a slow path against the stubborn resistance of India on the third day of the third test at Lord’s.
After resuming 145-3, India was dismissed for 387 with the level of scores, creating a game to an overth, after KL Rahul (100) won a century of 177 balls and that the 72 of Ravira Jadeja frustrated the hosts with a resistance to the lower order.
It was difficult to work for hosts on flat land in the London heat of 28 degrees, but the captain of England Ben Stokes (2-63) claimed Rishabh Pant (74) at the blow of lunch, and a late transport of Woakes (3-84) and Carse (1-88) helped to revive the atmosphere.
Shoaib Bashir (1-59) claimed Centurion Rahul with the first ball after having won his 10th century test, but the Spinner of England later left the field after having injured his little finger on his left hand (unwilling) in his follow-up.
The test initially seemed to be heading for a draw, but from the real Bazball mode, England fought to bring India from 376-7 to 387 all in six Overs, with Ben Duckett (0no) and Zak Crawley (2No) surviving a unique spell by Jasprit Bumrah (0-2) after having created comic dixings.
Long day for England offers late entertainment
It was a difficult day for England, the first counter just before lunch, breaking a 141 -point stand between Rahul and Pant.
Stokes was the man to do so, noting that Pant had stammered at the start of his race, he threw the ball from the cover point and had a direct blow, and a referees’ review confirmed that a sliding bat was not saving the n ° 5 from India.
Rahul then inaugurated his milestone, the first time he marked more than a hundred in a series, but his celebrations were short -lived while he was riding Bashir behind Harry Brook at Slip just after.
An obstinate partnership of Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy (30) worth 72 points has created more frustration for England, but a shiny ball of Stokes caught the edge of the latter.
A beautiful dive of Jamie Smith in the side of the legs saw Jadeja return to the pavilion after border Woakes behind.
The bowling player in England was then denied twice an LBW decision on the exam while the DR favored Akash Deep (7), but a superb effort in a Brook hand during the third shift saw him rejected Carse.
Woakes then rejected Bumrah (0) for a duck while India fell to 387-9 before Washington Sundar (23 years old) took the depths by Brook with leveled scores and India bordered.
Crawley and Duckett blocked Bumrah as long as possible to ensure that they should face as few deliveries as possible, which has obviously annoyed the captain of India Shubman Gill but provided a comic relief for the Lord’s spectators.
The third test initially seemed to be heading for a draw, an improbable and unsatisfactory conclusion under the Stokes and Brendon McCullum regime, but a result is now almost certain with a handle competition.
