The Indian team all out for 170
In the Lord's Test, England won the toss and decided to bat first and scored 387 runs for 10 wickets in the first innings.

Jadeja's hard work was wasted.
India's second innings started with a jolt. On a total score of five, Jofra Archer got Yashasvi Jaiswal caught by Jamie Smith behind the wicket. He was out without opening the account. After this, KL Rahul and Karun Nair tried to take charge. Both played some good shots and added 36 runs in 66 balls for the second wicket. Brydon Carse broke this partnership. He got Nair out LBW. He returned to the pavilion after scoring 14 runs with the help of a four in 33 balls. Captain Shubman Gill, who came to bat at number four, failed to do anything big in the second innings after the first innings. He was also out LBW by Cars. After this, Ben Stokes bowled Akash Deep, who came as a night watchman. He could score only one run in 11 balls.
The second day's play started with a score of 58/4. The team lost three wickets in the first session. Before lunch, India lost the wickets of Rishabh Pant (9 runs) and KL Rahul (39 runs). After this, Washington Sundar could not open the account. Then Nitish (13) also returned to the pavilion. The result of the third Test came in the third session. At one time, it seemed that the result of this match would come out by the end of the second session, but it did not happen. The second session started with the partnership of Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah. At that time, Jadeja was present at the crease with 17 runs and India needed 81 runs to win. After staying at the crease for about 1:30 hours, Bumrah was out. Ben Stokes made him his victim. He got Bumrah caught by Samuel Cook. For the ninth wicket, Bumrah added 35 runs in 132 balls with Jadeja.
After Bumrah, Jadeja was joined by Siraj. Both of them added 23 runs in 80 balls for the last wicket. As soon as Siraj's wicket fell, India's hopes of victory ended. England spinner Shoaib Bashir bowled an off-break in the fifth ball of the 75th over, which Siraj defended. But the ball backspun after falling on the pitch and hit the stumps. After getting out in this way, Siraj became emotional and was seen expressing regret on the field. He was able to score four runs while Jadeja remained unbeaten after scoring 61 runs in 181 balls. He completed the 25th half-century of his Test career in 150 balls. For England, in the second innings, Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes took three wickets each while Brydon Carse got two successes. At the same time, Chris Woakes and Shoaib Bashir took one wicket each.
