IND vs Ang Live Score, Third Test Match Day 5: Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul chased India’s hopes stressed

India vs England Live score, third Test match day 5: The third Test between India and England at Lord’s is ready for a grandeur after a chaotic and entertaining day 4. England, for the first time, staring at the deficit, managed only 192 in their second attempt, leading India to the 193-Run target. But the one who looked like a managerial chase quickly became stressful, as the hosts knocked out four Indian batsmen before the stump.

England started the day in a solid position at 154–4, Joe Root and Ben Stokes guided him that it seemed like a protective clan. But Washington Sundar replaced the script with off-spin’s spectacular magic, claimed 4–22-the best figures by an Indian spinner in England in two decades. He bowled both Root and Stokes, then removed Jamie Smith and Shoaib Bashir to suddenly end England’s innings.

In response, India lost Yashsvi Jaiswal for a duck and then deepened Karun Nair, Shubman Gill and Akash in quick succession. KL Rahul is unbeaten on 33, but the pitch has shown a sharp boom and variable speed, which is difficult to bat. England’s Bridon Cars and Stokes bowled with poison, in which Cars cleaned two wickets and Stokes deeply on the last ball of the day.

The day was not less on the heat. Stokes made fun of Rahul after the dismissal of Knightwatchman, continuing a topic of fisties exchanges after a sarcastically clapping in England openers a day earlier.

India now needs 135 more runs to win the Test and take a 2–1 series lead, while England need six wickets on the spicy pitch. Tempers promise to have a full thriller at the day 5 cricket house, with flaring and pressure mounting.
