DRINKS BREAK! It has been all England this morning with a dominant display that has firmly tilted the game in their favour. The first hour could hardly have gone worse for India, and all their hopes now rest on the shoulders of the last recognised pair, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Ravindra Jadeja. Ben Stokes will know he is just one wicket away from exposing the tail, and that incentive might push him to send down an extra over or two in this spell.

KL Rahul is caught in the crease as he looks to work it across but plays over the wrong line and misses. A huge appeal for LBW, but not given. Stokes is pleading to the umpire as he believes he has got his man and opts for the review. Now the question is whether the ball struck the bat first or the front pad, as KL Rahul’s bat is a bit behind the pad. This is very close! UltraEdge shows that it is pad first and Ball Tracking shows the ball hitting the stumps. Three reds and Stokes is pumped up to the core as he gets a huge wicket. KL Rahul departs for 39 (58) and India in real trouble now – 81/6.

Ben Stokes to Ravindra Jadeja : Sliding on the leg stump line, on a fullish length, Jadeja gets across to flick but misses and the ball clips the front pad to roll behind to the short fine leg region. There’s a half an appeal for LBW, but the umpire is unmoved. Probably curving away a bit too much from the leg stump line. The batters cross for a leg bye.

Jofra Archer to Rishabh Pant : OUT! KNOCKED HIM OVER! What a venomous delivery from Archer and it has come just at the right time for England! Around the stumps and on a good length, angling in from outside off. Rishabh Pant shapes to block from the crease but plays inside the line of the ball as the ball straightens and it beats the bat. Pant hears the ball smashing into the stumps as the off pole is uprooted and cartwheels behind. Jofra sends Rishabh back on his way with a few words. Pant goes for 9 (12) and India are 71/5, needing another 122 runs to win. What a spectacular sight for any fast bowler this! Archer has pumped up the adrenaline in the English camp now!

India vs England
Shoaib Bashir has not taken the field yet. However, since his injury is external, he isn’t required to spend time on the field before being allowed to bowl. That means he can be brought into the attack whenever England feel the time is right.

Stokes is starting from around the wicket to Pant with two slips and a gully in place. Let the final day begin!
India vs England
PITCH REPORT – Raunak Kapoor and Deep Dasgupta take a close look at the pitch ahead of Day 5 at Lord’s. Raunak calls it a day of endless possibilities and notes that a fresh breeze and cooler air would add to the drama. From the Pavilion End, Deep points only a few ball marks and indentations on the good length area, causing the occasional deviant bounce. They then move to the Nursery End, where Brydon Carse found his rhythm on Day 4 and bowled a fiery spell. Deep observes a few widening cracks and plenty of footmarks but still reckons 135 should be within reach. He adds that those cracks should offer the bowlers a bit of extra assistance.
India vs England
There was some overnight rain, but the sun is out now and the weather shouldn’t be an issue. Not that any amount of rain could wash away the intensity that’s been brewing between these two sides since the heated exchange late on Day 3. The needle is well and truly there. We are also hearing that it’s going to be a sellout today, and the crowd is already filing in nicely.
India vs England
Today also marks six years since that unforgettable 2019 World Cup final and the Super Over drama that unfolded right here at Lord’s. The stakes are not as high as they were that day, but there is a sense in the air that we could be in for another humdinger. Stay tuned as the action is not far away.
India vs England
Pressure does strange things to the mind and challenges even the best. You find yourself playing at deliveries you should leave and leaving the ones you should be playing. Karun Nair did the latter, giving the hosts an opening which they pounced on. On a surface where any ball could have your name on it, retreating into a shell is not a viable option. India must bat with intent and take heart from their spirited first-innings fightback. KL Rahul and those to follow were pivotal to that effort, and the visitors will be hoping they can step up once more.
India vs England
It was always going to be about how much England could make the new ball count. Only one wicket fell early, but the introduction of Brydon Carse blew the game wide open. With a newish ball in hand and the surface offering uneven bounce and lateral movement, the home side will back themselves to pull off a famous defence. Washington Sundar picked up wickets more through drift than genuine turn, but Day 5 could offer more for spinners. Shoaib Bashir, who came out to bat with an injured left little finger, hasn’t bowled since taking that blow in the first innings. While the injury is to his non-bowling hand, his availability with the ball today remains uncertain.
India vs England
After four days of ebb and flow, it all comes down to this. Here we are, poised for yet another Day 5 finish in this Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. India need 135 runs, England need 6 wickets and one way or another, it’s all set up for a gripping finale. The pendulum swung dramatically in the final 30 minutes of Day 4, and it is fair to say that England will walk in today as the more confident side.
India vs England
… DAY 5, SESSION 1 …
India vs England
What a Day 5 we have in store! Tickets are already sold out and it promises to be a memorable finish with all four results on the table. KL Rahul got a reprieve on 5 when Chris Woakes put down a return catch, and just like in the first innings, he will be pivotal to India’s hopes. As for England, they will take momentum into the morning, and with Brydon Carse, who looked off-colour in the first innings, now finding his rhythm, things are looking up for the hosts heading into the final day. Monday, 14th July is set up to be one of those days you simply don’t want to miss. If you do, it’s one you might well regret. The first ball on Day 5 will be bowled at 3.30 pm IST (10 am GMT). Until then, take care and goodbye!
India vs England
Earlier in the morning, variable bounce, especially from the Nursery End, made life uncomfortable for the batters. Jasprit Bumrah posed plenty of questions, though it was Mohammed Siraj who reaped the rewards. Crawley couldn’t convert his start either, while Harry Brook tried to counterpunch in typical fashion but perished to his attacking instincts. England found themselves at 98/4 at the end of the first session.
India vs England
After Lunch, England’s recovery effort resumed through Joe Root and Ben Stokes. Though they had a tough initiation, the experienced pair hung in and looked to stabilise the innings. Amidst all the threats posed by the pacers, it was Washington Sundar who broke through for India. From there, the tourists chipped away steadily. Stokes perished trying to take on Sundar after the break, and the off-spinner combined with Jasprit Bumrah to clean up the tail. From 154/4, England lost 5 for 38 to be bowled out for 192, with Sundar finishing with a fine four-wicket haul.
India vs England
Test cricket at its absolute finest! Ben Stokes delivers the final flourish with a peach and three wickets in the last 30 minutes for England have set up a thrilling final day. With 90 minutes left in the day, India began their reply to a middling total of 193. It was a nervy start, with Yashasvi Jaiswal falling early for the second time in the game, to Jofra Archer. Karun Nair and KL Rahul came together to steady the ship, and things looked calm at 41/1. But then came Brydon Carse, bowling with great rhythm and intensity, and he rocked the Indian boat with a fiery spell to drag England right back into the contest.
India vs England Live Score : 58/4, 17.4 Over
Ben Stokes to Akash Deep : OUT! BOWLED’EM! OUTFOXED! Ben Stokes has produced an absolute jaffa, too good for any tailender! He is pumped up and the crowd goes bonkers at Lord’s! Runs full tilt, does Stokes and spears it on a fuller length, aiming at the off stump. Akash Deep plays for the initial line, but the ball lands and then straightens off the deck. Akash hears the death rattle behind him as the off stump is uprooted and cartwheels behind. Akash Deep departs for 1 (11) and India are 58/4. What a sensational end to the day’s play as that will be STUMPS ON DAY 4.

Ollie Pope comes in at short leg.

India vs England Live Score : 57/3, 16.3 Over
Brydon Carse to Akash Deep : Another big appeal from Carse for LBW, but again, the umpire shakes his head in denial. But this time, Stokes has reviewed it. Hits the length hard, around off and it then nips in a long, long way, across and into the batter. Akash Deep is stuck inside the crease as he brings the bat in front to block, but plays the wrong line and is hit on the inner thigh pad. There’s a clear gap between the bat and the pad and Ball Tracking shows the ball to be clipping the leg stump on the umpire’s call. NOT OUT.

Brydon Carse to Akash Deep : A huge appeal for LBW, but the finger stays down! Probably doing a bit too much to slide down leg.

Brydon Carse to Shubman Gill : OUT! LBW! Carse provides a huge wicket for England and he has spring in his step now! India lose another wicket with just 15 minutes or so remaining in the day’s play. Back of a length, nipping into the batter sharply from around off, and skidding low. Shubman Gill is caught in the crease and is cramped up for space, tries to work it across to the leg side, but plays all over the wrong line and the ball beats the bat to ping on the front pad. Gill reluctantly takes the review. This, though, looks dead-straight to the naked eye. UltraEdge shows no bat and the Ball Tracking shows the ball hitting the middle stump. Gill takes a review with him.
India vs England Live Score : 53/2, 14.5 Over
Brydon Carse to Shubman Gill : BEATEN! On a back of a length, on off, nips back in, Shubman Gill gets on his toes to punch it away. Gets beaten on the inside edge.
