Ravindra Jadeja remained unbeaten on 61 runs in the second innings, but Team India lost the match by 22 runs with the fall of the 10th wicket as Mohammad Siraj. This match will also always be remembered for Jadeja’s innings, how he kept hopes till the end. India lost this match but Jadeja created history for Team India in this innings.

In India’s innings, 7 batsmen could not even cross the double figure, the top order was scattered but could not play a good innings except Jadeja in the middle order. In the end, the bowlers fulfilled Ravindra Jadeja, struggling for some time but Shoaib Bashir’s ball hit Siraj’s bat and fell on the stump and the 10th wicket of the innings fell.

Ravindra Jadeja to do so

Ravindra Jadeja has become the second Indian batsman to score a half -century in both innings of the Test played at Lord’s Cricket Ground. Earlier, only Veenu Mankad was the Indian who scored 72 in the first innings and 184 runs in the second innings in 1952.

Ravindra Jadeja scored an unbeaten 61 in 181 balls in the second innings, in this innings he hit 1 six and 4 fours. He also scored a half -century in the first innings, he played an important innings of 72 runs.

Indian batsmen flopped in second innings

England won the toss and chose first batting. With the help of Root’s century, England scored 387 runs, India also had a score of 387 in the first innings. KL Rahul scored a century. England’s second innings collapsed for 192 runs, then it felt that now India can win this match but the performance of Indian batsmen in the second innings was also poor.

Yashasvi Jaiswal could not open an account, Karun Nair once again disappointed and when he was expected to be a good innings, he was dismissed for 14 runs. Captain Shubman Gill was also able to score only 6 runs. Rishabh Pant (9) was bowled by Archer on a brilliant ball.

Washington Sundar (0) and Nitish Kumar Reddy (13) also could not support Jadeja, Bumrah and Siraj struggled a little but before other batsmen would have done so, the result would have been in India’s favor.

The Indian cricket team all -rounder Washington Sundar said about the fifth day of the third Test that we will win this match after lunch. Today is the fifth and last day of the India vs England third Test being played at Lord’s Cricket Ground. However, it is not at all that India stands at the threshold of victory, because England can also win this match.

India scored 58 runs in the second innings, but have also lost 4 wickets. India still need 135 runs to win and 6 wickets are in hand. After the fourth day’s play was over, Washington was associated with beautiful Sky Sports Cricket. He was accompanied by Kumar Sangakkara and Nasir Hussain. When Sundar was asked about the match, he said, “Of course we will win tomorrow.” On this, he was jokingly asked how long you will win the fifth day so that we can book our cabs.

Washington Sundar said, “Of course we will win tomorrow. Perhaps we will win after lunch. It would have been better if we had a stump on one wicket, but the way our fast bowlers made pressure today, he was wonderful bowling. When it started in the morning, we were hopeful that we were hopeful with a hard ball, the way Siraj bowled, Akash Deep took the wicket of Harry Brahm, he was good.”

“Defninitely India Winning Tomorrow!”

Washington Sundar took 4 wickets

Sundar took 4 big wickets in the second innings. He dismissed Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jamie Smith and Shoaib Bashir. He did not get any wicket in the first innings. England’s second innings was reduced to 192 runs, India got a target of 193 to win.

India’s second innings started before the fourth day play ended, but the beginning did not go well. Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed for zero, Karun Nair (14) disappointed once again. Captain Shubhaman Gill was dismissed for 6 runs. Before the end of the day’s play, bowler Akash Deep was sent to bat at number five, he was dismissed for 1 run.

This has happened only for the third time with the Indian Cricket Team when no team has an edge after the first innings of a Test, that is, the score of both teams remains equal. The same happened in the India vs England third Test being played at Lord’s Cricket Ground, when Shubman Gill & Team was reduced to 387 runs. Earlier, the England team, which won the toss and batting first, also scored 387 runs.

Ben Stokes won the toss in the Test being played at Lord’s and chose batting first. On the first day, 251 runs were scored, on the second day Joe Root completed his century (104) but soon after Jaspreet was dismissed by Bumrah. Jamie Smith finally played an important innings of 51 runs and took the team’s score to 387.

India and England score equal

In India’s first innings, KL Rahul scored centuries (100), Karun Nair (40), Rishabh Pant (74), Ravindra Jadeja (72) scored important innings. The last pair was of Siraj and Washington Sundar, which broke as soon as the score was equalized.

This has happened for only the 9th time in history when both teams have been score in the first innings of a Test match. The last time this happened on the field of Leeds in 2015, which was won by New Zealand. Out of the last 8 matches, 6 have ended at the draw, 2 of them are also with Team India.

This happened for the third time with India

This has happened for the third time with the Indian cricket team, when the score has been equal in the first innings. Both the Tests played earlier have ended on the draw. This was the last time in 1986 with India.

• In 1958- India vs West Indies, Kanpur, Draw
• In 1986- England vs India, Birmingham, Draw

Both teams score equal in the first innings

1. In 1910- SA vs Eng, Durban, Draw
2. In 1958- IND Vs Wi, Kanpur, Draw
3. In 1973- PAK vs NZ, Auckland, Draw
4. In 1973- Wi vs Aus, Kingston, Draw
5. In 1986- Eng vs IND, Birmingham, Draw
6. In 1994- Wi Vs Eng, St. John’s, Draw
7. In 2003- Wi vs AUS, St. Johns, West Indies won
8. In 2015- Eng vs NZ, Leeds, New Zealand won
9. In 2025- Eng vs Ind, Lords

The first time in history is on the Lord’s Cricket Ground, called the Mecca of Cricket, when the score of both teams has been equal in the first innings of a Test. Talking about India vs England Test series, the first Test was won by England and the second Test was won by India.

Who does not know the final match of the NatWest Series 2002 played at Lord’s Cricket Ground, in which India defeated England by 2 wickets. The one who did not see that match, he must also know the celebration of Sourav Ganguly by taking off the t -shirt, which is an iconic moment. In this match, 2 players did not listen to captain Sourav Ganguly, which was revealed after many years. Among them, one player is Sachin Tendulkar.

In the final match, England batted first and scored a huge score of 326 runs, it was considered impossible to achieve such a big goal at that time, but Sourav Ganguly was confident that we could do this. Ganguly (60) started the innings with Virender Sehwag (45) and shared a 106 -run partnership for the first wicket.

When Sehwag did not listen to Ganguly!

Many years later, Sourav Ganguly revealed this and said, “When we had a good partnership, his bowler Ronnie Irani came, Sehwag hit the first ball, so I told him that now a good partnership has been done. Great but now 8 runs have come.

Sachin Tendulkar also did not listen to Sourav Ganguly

After winning the final of the NatWest series, Sourav Ganguly took off his t -shirt in Lord’s balcony, but after many years Rajiv Shukla revealed that Ganguly wanted this from the entire team. But then Sachin Tendulkar came to him and said that if everyone does this, it will not be good, this is a gentleman game and Ganguly can do so, if you want to do so. Then Ganguly did this and it became a memorable moment.

But Ganguly did not take the t -shirt like this, but there was a big reason behind it. This was a kind of revenge. Ganguly had launched her t -shirt at Lord’s because earlier in India, Andrew Flintoff launched her t -shirt. Ganguly was also captain at that time.

Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif played the match winning innings

India’s score was up to 5 at 146, after a good start, Dinesh Mongia (9), Sachin Tendulkar (14), Rahul Dravid (5) were dismissed cheaply. Then the 121 -run partnership between Yuvraj Singh and Mohammad Kaif made a match. Yuvraj scored 69 runs, Kaif scored an unbeaten 87 runs.

The third Test is being played between India and England at Lord’s Cricket Ground. In the first session of the third day of the Test, the umpire delayed changing the ball, then former India coach Ravi Shastri was enraged. He said that the umpires could do this even without wasting time. He also got angry that none of the balls that the umpires were checking inside the box could pass through the gauge.

This incident is of the first session of the third day, when the umpires saw the ball after the drink break and decided to change it. This process started after the brake was over. Ian ward, who was commenting with Ravi Shastri, was also surprised by this, he objected to the decision and said that if it was to be changed, then why was it not decided at the beginning of the break.

The ward said, “This joke is going on? The umpire has decided to change the ball. If this was to be done then why not the drinks were decided at the beginning of the break? Why the entire break was waiting for the end. The match should have started so far, but now the umpire wants to change the ball.”

What did Ravi Shastri say

On this, former India cricketer and former head coach Ravi Shastri also agreed, “I fully agree with you, it is beyond comprehension. It is a common sense.

What is gauge in cricket?

Please tell that umpire keeps the equipment named Gauge with you. They use it to check the ball. It is round and it is checked whether the size of the cricket ball meets the standard measurements set by the rules of cricket. The ball should pass through it, otherwise the ball is changed.

India’s first innings ended for 387 runs on the third day, England also scored the same number of runs in the first innings. That is, no team has any lead on the basis of first innings. Now the game of 2 days is left, England’s second innings will move beyond 2 runs today.

The third match of the five -match Test series between India and England is being played at Lord’s ground from Thursday. On the third day of the match, Indian batsman KL Rahul has scored a century and registered his name in the pages of history. A century on this ground is special for any batting, because the name of the player who scored a century here becomes immortal in the history of cricket. The reason for this is ‘Honors Board’ of Lord’s.

Only the name of the batsman goes on the Honors Board of Lord’s, who has scored a century here. Almost every cricketer dreams of playing on this historic ground of England. Every player wants his name to be written on the Honors Board of Lord’s. But for the batsmen, one has to work very hard to register his name on this board.

Batting on Lords is not easy. There is a slight slope on the pitch here, which is called ‘Lord’s Slope’. Because of this, the bowlers get swing and movement and the batsmen find it difficult to read the ball. The weather of England, clouds and moisture from above, for all these batsmen scoring runs here is no less than a challenge. This is the reason that scoring a century on Lord’s becomes very special.

This batsman scored a century on Lord’s ground

The first century was scored by England player Alan Steel on this historic ground in Lord’s. Steel first recorded his name on the Honors Board by scoring a century against Australia in 1884, 141 years ago.

For India, this batsman hit the first century on Lord’s ground

Vinu Mankad is the player to score the first century for India on Lord’s ground. Mankad did this feat in the year 1952. Mankad scored 184 runs against England during this period.

The third match of the five -match Test series between India and England is being played at Lord’s Cricket Ground from Thursday. Lords is called ‘Mecca of Cricket’, almost every cricketer dreams of playing on this historic ground of England. There is a special thing about this ground- the Honors Board there. The names of those players are written on this board, who have done well in the match on this ground. In such a situation, the question is why Sachin Tendulkar, who scored 100 centuries, is not on this board.

To register the name on the Honors Board, the batsman has to score a century (100 runs or more) in Lord’s match, and the bowler has to take five wickets in an innings (5 wicket hall) or 10 wickets in the match. That is, this board decorates the names of only those players who have performed amazing at Lord’s.

Sachin Tendulkar could not score a single century on Lord’s ground

Sachin, who is called the God of Cricket, has made hundreds of records in his 24 -year international career. He has scored 100 centuries in his career, including ODI and Test. But he could not score a single century on the grounds of Lord’s. This is the reason that his name is not on Lord’s Honors Board. Sachin has played 5 Test matches at Lord’s ground. But during this time his biggest innings has been 37 runs. At the same time, Sachin played three ODIs at Lord’s ground. During this time his biggest innings was 30 runs.

The number of selected Indian players is named on the Lord’s Honors Board

The Honors Board of Lord’s is the name of a few players of India. Veenu Mankad, Dilip Vengsarkar, Gundappa Vishwanath, Ravi Shastri, Mohammad Azharuddin, Ajit Agarkar, Rahul Dravid, Ajinkya Rahane and KL Rahul are named on the Honors Board.

At the same time, Mohammad Nisar, Amar Singh, N Amarnath, Vinu Mankad, RB Desai, BS Chandrashekhar, BS Bedi, Kapil Dev, Chetan Sharma, BSK Prasad, RP Singh, Praveen Kumar, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ishant Sharma are named on the Test Ballers Honors Board.

A shocking view was seen on the ground on the first day of the Bharat vs England third Test being played at Lord’s Cricket Ground, when Ladibirds attacked the ground. Jasprit Bumrah was seen escaping from this attack, which also harassed the route and other players. Due to this, the match stopped for some time, its video is going viral.

Ben Stokes, who chose bowling in the first two Tests, decided to bat first in the third Test. Unlike the bezball style, England played Sambhalkar and Sayam full innings, scoring 251 runs losing 4 wickets till the first day’s play was over. Shortly before the end of the day’s play, Ladibirds attacked Lord’s.

Please tell that ladybird is also known as Ladibag and Lady Beetle. There is a small, round, bright colored worm, which is red or orange in color.

Jasprit Bumrah is seen surviving

The attack of these insects took place about 15 minutes before the first day’s play ended. Fielding Jasprit Bumrah was seen avoiding it, he was constantly blowing him by hand. The herd of these insects had come on the field, the batting of Bumrah who were also seen escaping from them. On seeing this, this flock also reached other players, after which the match had to be stopped. The match stayed for about 5 minutes, then started again after they left.
