Live Score IND vs ENG 3rd Test: India and England face off at Lord's with the series level at 1-1, and the spotlight firmly on the fast-bowling duel between Jasprit Bumrah and Jofra Archer. Bumrah returns after being rested, while Archer makes his much-anticipated Test comeback after over four years. India's momentum from their dominant Edgbaston win, driven by Shubman Gill's extraordinary form and Akash Deep's breakthrough performance, gives them an edge. England, however, remain unfazed by defeat, sticking to their fearless Bazball approach. With conditions favouring early seam movement, both pace attacks could dictate terms.

It's part of game, can understand: Rahul reflects on Gill's fiery exchange with Crawley

London [UK], July 13 (ANI): India's seasoned opener KL Rahul spilt the beans about the dramatic scenes that unfolded in the final moments of Day 3 of the third Test against England at the 'Home of Cricket', Lord's. Temperaments flared, tension simmered, and emotions ran high in the final over of a gripping day of Test cricket. After India packed their bags on 387, the exact total as England, openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett were assigned the task of seeing off the testing eight to ten minutes of the day. Before the third delivery of pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah's first over, Crawley moved out of the way late, indicating that there was movement behind the bowler. Despite Crawley's suggestion, Bumrah and India captain Shubman Gill appeared to be unconvinced. Gill expressed his discontent and yelled at Crawley from the slip cordon. On the fifth delivery, Crawley sustained a blow on the glove. He quickly removed the glove and asked the physio to have a look at it, which caused pandemonium on the field. The Indian players swarmed the English openers as Gill and Crawley engaged in a heated verbal exchange while pointing fingers at each other. Rahul, who was present at the scene and witnessed the entire situation unfold, feels it is a part of the game. He went on to state that, as an opening batter, he understands what happened in the last five minutes on the field. 'What happened at the end is, I mean, it's just part of the game now. I mean, this is every, I understand from an opening batter's point of view. I have, I can, I know exactly what is going on, and everyone knows exactly what is going on. But an opening batter will understand completely what happened in the last five minutes,' Rahul told reporters at the end of the day's play. For many, it was the first time seeing Gill riled up, animatedly expressing his opinion. However, for Rahul, it wasn't the first instance, and he said, 'Yes, I have seen him fired up. We wanted to bowl two overs. There were six minutes left. Obviously, two overs is a no-brainer that any team will bowl two overs with six minutes to go.' 'It's a bit of theatrics at the end. We were all pumped up either way because we know how difficult it is for a batter to come into bat for two overs when you've been in the field all day. We were hoping we could get a wicket there,' he added. According to Rahul, a wicket in the closing moments of the day would have been 'perfect'. After three days of pulsating clash, even if they returned wicketless, Indian players would have remained fired up while trying to pursue a result. 'A wicket at the end of the day's play would have been perfect for us. Tomorrow, even without that, I think we would have been fired up anyway because that's where the game stands. We have two days from now on with both teams probably back to zero,' he said. 'After three days of hard-fought cricket, it all comes down to day four and day five. We would have been fired up anyway. We will go out there and try and get ten wickets as quickly as we can and enjoy ourselves in the field,' he added. Despite the heated exchange, England remained unscathed with 2/0, and will try to build on it as the game heads towards the last six sessions. (ANI)

Juan Soto, Mets stay hot with win over Royals

(Photo credit: Peter Aiken-Imagn Images) Frankie Montas allowed one run while pitching into the sixth inning, and Juan Soto clubbed a two-run homer, securing the New York Mets their first winning road series in more than a month with Saturday's 3-1 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Making his fourth start of the season after missing roughly the first three months with a lat strain, Montas (2-1) was quite solid. He survived a 21-pitch first inning without yielded a run. For the game, he gave up four hits and struck out five; his only earned run came on Jonathan India's RBI double in the sixth. Soto, meanwhile, went deep for the second straight game for New York, which managed six hits but build on Friday's 8-3 series-opening victory to win back-to-back road contests for the first time since sweeping a three-game set at Colorado on June 6-8. Edwin Diaz pinched the final two innings for his 19th save. Kansas City won four straight entering this series, but is 1-for-17 with runners in scoring position the last two days. India's two doubles accounted for half of the Royals' hits Saturday. After scheduled starter Michael Lorenzen was scratched due to illness, it turned into a bullpen day for Kansas City. Angel Zerpa pitched a scoreless first, then Jonathan Bowlan (1-2) pitched the next three, but yielded Soto's drive, with Franciso Lindor on second base, that landed into the second tier of the right-field fountains in the fourth for a 2-0 Mets edge. Montas, meanwhile, allowed two hits through five innings before back-to-back doubles from Kyle Isbel and India to open the sixth made it 2-1. That ended Montas' day, but Reed Garrett came on and retired the heart of the Royals order -- Bobby Witt Jr., Vinnie Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia -- while stranding India at third. Kansas City also stranded runners on first and third in the seventh. With one out in the eighth, Diaz walked Witt, who was then caught stealing after replay overturned the safe call on the field. In the Mets' ninth, Pete Alonso doubled and scored on Jeff McNeil's two-out single into center field.--Field Level Media

WATCH: Shubman Gill shouts at Zak Crawley, Team India seen mocking England openers at Lord's due to...

Shubman Gill and Zak Crawly in the last minute drama. (PIC - X) New Delhi: On the third day of the Lord's Test match, a fierce fight was seen between Team India's captain and England opener Zak Crawley. There was a lot of drama on the field in the last over of the day. Actually, when the Indian team's innings ended at a score of 387 runs, the umpire called England to bat in the second innings. Since only a few minutes were left for the day's play to end. In such a situation, Team India's effort was to complete as many overs as possible, but Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett started creating drama. How did the drama begin? In England's second innings, Jasprit Bumrah came to bowl the first over for Team India. Zak Crawley faced Bumrah's first ball. Crawley could not score runs on Bumrah's good length offside. However, Crawley ran and took 2 runs on the second ball. After this, Zak Crawley made a lot of drama on the next four balls. He was deliberately not taking a stance. To waste time, Crawley also made an excuse of injury, due to which Shubman Gill got very angry. What was Shubman Gill's statement to Zak Crawley? 'Grow some f****** b****,' Gill appeared to tell Crawley as it took a long time to get things going despite just two balls being bowled in the over. WATCH VIDEO BELOW: Always annoying when you can't get another over in before close 🙄 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 12, 2025 What happened in the match? At the end of the third day, the intention with which the Indian team came to the field for bowling could not be fulfilled. Due to the time wasted by the England openers, only 1 over could be bowled, in which the host team scored 2 runs. This run came from the bat of Zak Crawley while Ben Duckett is yet to open his account. In such a situation, now when the fourth day's play starts, a different thrill will definitely be seen between India and England.
