Lord’s ground has witnessed many historical Test matches. The 2025 India vs England match has also been added to this list. Who would have thought that on the fifth day, the Indian team would continue to collect every drop of water like water, but when the victory came close, the water pot broke. Here is the wicket of Mohammad Siraj from ‘Breaking of Pitcher’, which all Indians had broken their hearts. Actually, if there was no mistake with Team India in this match, it might have won an easy victory.

Just a mistake and …

The England team came to bat first after winning the toss, which scored 387 runs thanks to Joe Root’s century of 104 runs. When the Indian team came to batting, he lost three wickets on a score of 107. On the fifth order, Rishabh Pant came to batting, so his and KL Rahul’s pair had rescued the sweat of the British.

KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant had a partnership of BH 141 runs. When the 66th over of India’s first innings came, Pant was run out due to lack of coordination with Rahul. Pant was pushing the scoreboard very fast, but was run out on the score of 74. What was it then, one by one other batsmen of India also kept losing their wickets at regular intervals. However, Ravindra Jadeja’s innings of 72 runs stopped England from gaining lead.

India’s first innings also ended at the score of 387, due to which no one had an edge after the first innings of both teams. If Pant had not been run out on that occasion, perhaps the Indian team could have gained 40-50 runs in the first innings. The history of Lord’s ground has been a witness that it is very difficult to chase here. In such a situation, if Team India had gained an edge, it might have got a target of maximum 150 runs.
