India fall agonisingly short as England seal 22-run win at Lord’s

Jadeja was the standout performer for India, finishing unbeaten on 61. He fought a lone battle for much of the innings, expertly shepherding the tail while steadily narrowing the target. He forged crucial partnerships first with Jasprit Bumrah and later with Siraj, defying a relentless English attack

England clinched a nail-biting 22-run win over India in the third Test at Lord’s on Monday, taking a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. In a contest that swayed dramatically across five days, it was Shoaib Bashir who sealed the result with the final wicket, as India’s spirited chase fell just short of a historic win.

Chasing 193 for victory on a deteriorating pitch, India were bowled out for 170 shortly after the tea break on Day 5. The final blow came in heartbreaking fashion, Mohammed Siraj, the last man standing alongside a resolute Ravindra Jadeja, tried to defend Bashir but the ball trickled off his bat, bounced awkwardly, and rolled back onto the stumps to dislodge a solitary bail. A stunned Siraj stood in disbelief, while Bashir sprinted off in celebration. England’s players gathered around Siraj to offer consolation.
