Highlight of day 4 of the India vs. England 3rd Men’s Test at Lord’s
Now lord’s test is in a dramatic position. Anyone can win from here. India started well in the run chase, but England’s team fought back in the last 30 minutes. See a complete highlight of day 4 of the India vs. England 3rd Men’s Test at Lord’s.
Day 4 Highlights – Match Poised for a Dramatic Finale
England’s batting in the second innings collapsed, all out for 192, thanks to standout performances from Washington Sundar (4/22), Jasprit Bumrah, and Mohammed Siraj.
India were set a target of 193 to win on Day 5.
By stumps, India were 58/4, still needing 135 more runs with six wickets in hand. KL Rahul remained not out on 33, steering hopes for India’s win.
Tensions & Drama on the Field
After Zak Crawley’s alleged time-wasting on Day 3, Shubman Gill confronted him harshly, and emotions boiled over the next day as Mohammed Siraj both celebrated a wicket aggressively and reportedly clashed with Ben Duckett physically.
At one point, Stokes got struck by a fierce Siraj delivery in a sensitive area, momentarily taking him off his feet — a heavy moment followed by a tongue-in-cheek video release from the ECB.
Notable Records & Individual Contributions
Both teams posted identical first‑innings totals of 387, a rare occurrence in Test history seen only nine times before.
KL Rahul scored a special century at Lord’s, anchoring India’s innings to match England’s total and expressing how significant the achievement was at the iconic venue.
Match Balance Heading into Final Day
With 135 runs still needed and wickets in hand, India must approach Day 5 with composure and tactical batting. KL Rahul’s role will be pivotal in stabilizing the chase.
Meanwhile, England’s bowlers—especially Ben Stokes, Brydon Carse, and Woakes—will aim for early breakthroughs on what has become a variable, tiring Lord’s pitch.
