The morning session on Day 3 of the third Test at Lord’s had, for the most part, belonged unequivocally to India. Resuming their innings with a clear intent to build a formidable first-innings total, the Indian batsmen had meticulously accumulated runs, frustrating the English bowlers with a blend of resolute defence and calculated aggression. Partnerships had blossomed, pushing the score steadily towards the 250-mark and laying a strong foundation for a significant lead. However, the final act before the lunch interval delivered a dramatic twist, as England captain Ben Stokes, with a moment of sharp athleticism and quick thinking, ran out Rishabh Pant off the very last ball of the session, abruptly halting India’s momentum and injecting a much-needed jolt of energy into the English ranks.
