Posted on 15th Jul 2025 12:48 pm by rohit kumar

England defeated India by 22 runs. On the last day of the Lord's Test on Monday, the hosts bowled out the Indian team for 170 runs and won the match. With this win, England took a 1-2 lead in the five-match Test series against India. Earlier, Ben Stokes' team defeated India by five wickets in the Leeds Test. At the same time, the Indian team won the second Test (Edgbaston Test) by 336 runs. Let us tell you that this is the second closest defeat of the Indian team on foreign soil. Earlier, the team was defeated by 16 runs against Australia in Brisbane in 1977.

 

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. For them, Joe Root scored 104, and Jamie Smith and Brydon Carse scored 51 and 56 runs respectively. After this, India also scored 387 runs for 10 wickets. From their side, KL Rahul scored 100, Rishabh Pant 74, and Ravindra Jadeja 72 runs. In the second innings, England scored 192 runs for the loss of 10 wickets and set a target of 193 runs in front of India, which the Indian team could not achieve and was all out at a score of 170.

 

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.

 

Indian bowlers wreaked havoc.

 

Thanks to the deadly bowling of Washington Sundar, India bowled out England for 192 runs in the second innings. In the first session on the fourth day, Mohammad Siraj wreaked havoc and showed the way to the pavilion to Ben Duckett as well as Ollie Pope. Duckett could score 12 and Pope four runs. After this, Nitish Kumar Reddy caught Jack Crowley, who was caught by Yashasvi Jaiswal. He returned to the pavilion after scoring 22 runs in 49 balls. Akash Deep gave the fourth blow to England in this session. He bowled Harry Brook (23).

 

Indian bowlers dominated in the second session, and Washington Sundar gave two big blows to England. He first bowled out Joe Root. He was able to score 40 runs in 96 balls with the help of one four. After this, he made Jamie Smith his victim. He too was bowled out after scoring eight runs.

 

Sundar also showed his magic in the third session and bowled out Ben Stokes (33) and Shoaib Bashir (2). At the same time, Bumrah showed the way to the pavilion to Chris Woakes (10) and Brydon Carse (1). In the end, Jofra Archer remained unbeaten after scoring five runs. In the second innings for India, Sundar took four wickets while Bumrah and Siraj got two wickets each. At the same time, Nitish Reddy and Akash Deep took one wicket each.
