Multiple Injury Setbacks Hit England, India Lord's Test

The third Test match between England and India at Lord's has been impacted by injuries to key players on both sides. Indian pacer Akash Deep left the field on Day 4 due to a suspected injury, though India still have other pace and spin options available. England's Shoaib Bashir was injured after being struck on the left pinky finger during the third day, with the severity of his injury and implications for squad changes still uncertain. England captain Ben Stokes has also struggled with a groin injury since Day 1 and was eventually dismissed for 44 on Day 4, with concerns about his fitness persisting. Meanwhile, India’s wicketkeeper-batter Rishabh Pant sustained an injury to his left index finger on the opening day and had to be substituted, raising concerns given his strong form in the series. Both teams are hopeful that these injuries will not significantly affect their performances in this crucial match.
