England Wins Third Test Against India at Lord's, Leads Series 2-1

England took control of the third Test at Lord's, securing a thrilling 22-run victory over India to lead the series 2-1. Despite India's early dominance and resilient lower-order resistance, England's fast bowling, led by Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes, dismantled India's batting lineup, reducing them to 112 for eight while chasing 193. Key moments included Archer's crucial wickets and a sharp catch, Stokes' leg-before dismissal of KL Rahul, and Shoaib Bashir's match-winning delivery bowling Mohammed Siraj. India fought back with notable lower-order partnerships, especially Ravindra Jadeja's fourth consecutive half-century, but ultimately fell short. The match was marked by intense competition, with England capitalizing on India's batting fragility on the final day to clinch victory. This win at Lord’s underscores England's resilience and ability to perform under pressure, even after earlier struggles on day four.
