ENG vs IND 2nd Test Day 5: Check revised session timings at Edgbaston
As a result of the delay, ten overs have been officially lost, reducing the final day's play to an 80-over contest instead of the regular 90. With both teams eyeing a result, India in pursuit of a historic first Test win at Edgbaston and England hoping to resist with the bat, the revised playing conditions will add an extra layer of urgency and strategy.
Lunch: 2:30 PM to 3:10 PM local time | 7:00 PM to 7:40 PM IST
Final Session: 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM local time | 10:00 PM to 11:30 PM IST
With time being a crucial factor, India will need to make the most of the 80 overs available to pick up the remaining seven English wickets. Meanwhile, England's batters will look to apply the brakes and possibly push for a draw under overcast but dry conditions expected for the remainder of the day.
Both teams will have to adapt quickly to the revised schedule, and fans can expect a gripping conclusion to what has been an enthralling Test match at Edgbaston.

R Ashwin tears into Paul Reiffel, urges ICC to take action: 'Whenever India bats, he feels everything's out'
Former India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin didn't hold back as he slammed on-field umpire Paul Reiffel for his on-field calls during the Lord's Test between India and England. Reiffel has been at the centre of a huge controversy after he turned down Mohammed Siraj's LBW appeal against Joe Root. Reiffel did not raise his finger, and India opted to go for a review. However, replays showed that the ball would have hit the leg stump, but the former England captain survived owing to the umpire's call. Ashwin slammed Paul Reiffel, saying whenever India bat, the on-field umpire feels everything is out(PTI) This led to Siraj giving Reiffel an angry stare. Former India Test captain Anil Kumble also stated on air that it seems that the former Australian cricketer has decided not to raise his finger whenever there is a close call. Reiffel then raised his finger to give India captain Shubman Gill out after England appealed loudly for a caught-behind off the bowling of Brydon Carse. However, replays showed that the ball was nowhere close to Gill's bat, and the Indian captain got a lifeline. However, he was unable to make the most of the reprieve as he lost his wicket to Carse some overs later. 'My experience with Paul Reiffel, I want to talk to him. I am not saying that I should tell him to give it out. It's not like that. Whenever India bowls, he always feels it's not out. Whenever India bats, he always feels it's out," Ashwin said on his YouTube channel 'Ash Ki Baat'.

'My father was watching the match' Ashwin also spoke about Shubman Gill's caught behind verdict, saying there was a huge gap between bat and ball, and hence, he couldn't believe why Reiffel felt the need to raise his finger. 'I own a car, a sedan, which I can park through the gap between the bat and ball. It's clear it was not out. But this is not the first time. My father was watching the match with me," said Ashwin. "And he told me, 'Whenever Paul Reiffel comes, India will not win.' Even Mike Atherton and Nasser Hussain said the umpires could have acted a bit firmer with players taking time,' he added. Ashwin is not the first one to criticise Reiffel as earlier the likes of Sunil Gavaskar, Jonathan Trott and Anil Kumble called out the Australian for not giving Root out on the field. The Lord's Test hangs in the balance between India and England and both teams have a realistic chance of going 2-1 up. The final day started on the worst note possible as Rishabh Pant lost his wicket off the bowling of Jofra Archer.

Ravi Shastri orders Shubman Gill, Gautam Gambhir to 'let Rishabh Pant go', India captain does the opposite moments later
India head coach Ravi Shastri requested the Indian team management, led by captain Shubman Gill and head coach Gautam Gambhir, to let go of Rishabh Pant before Day 5 of the third Test against England. Shastri urged Gambhir and Gill not to even think about having a chat with Pant before the start of play, as that would only complicate matters. Indian cricketers Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant(PTI) "Just let him go today, don't even have a chat, that's what will confuse him!" Shastri said on Sky Sports before the start of the final day's play at Lord's. Pant will face his first ball on Day 5, which will be bowled by England captain Ben Stokes, who clean bowled nightwatchman Akash Deep in the fourth ball of the last over of Day 4. Shastri said Pant is experienced enough to know how big his role is if England are going to win this Test match. He doesn't need to be reminded of his responsibilities. "His computer is working. He is experienced enough. He's been around for a long time. He has got hundreds all around the world. He averages close to 45. He knows what to do. He knows the importance of his innings. But he's got to do it his way. If he tries to be someone else today. It's not gonna help," Shastri added. As Shastri was saying this on Sky Sports, India's captain Shubman Gill, who was dismissed by Brydon Carse just before the end of the day's play on Sunday, did the exact opposite. Gill was seen having a chat with Pant at the Lord's balcony. Pant, India's vice-captain, has been in red-hot form in this Test series. He started off with twin centuries in the series opener at Headingly, to go past MS Dhoni in the most centuries by an Indian keeper-batter's list. The attacking left-hander batter then blasted a quickfire half-century in the second innings at Birmingham before going on to hit another classy half-century in the first innings at Lord's. Pant will have a much difficult task on hand when he walks out to bat on Monday with experienced batter KL Rahul. With India still needing 135 runs with six wickets in hand, a lot will ride on their partnership. Pant doesn't need to look too far behind to look for inspiration. He came in at No.5 in the first innings when India were 107 for 3 and went on to add 141 runs for the fourth wicket with Rahul, who got a century. He was looking set for his third century of the series before he got run out at 74 while trying to get Rahul back on strike to help him complete his century before Lunch on Day 4. Jofra Archer clean bowls Rishabh Pant Pant began on a positive note, getting two boundaries off Jofra Archer, but England's plan of bowling full and straight to him jarred his already injured left index finger. In his short stay in the middle, he got his bottom hand off the handle on multiple occasions. It, however, did not stop from charging down the track and swatting Archer straight down the ground with one hand. England's pace ace gave a solid reply a couple of balls later. He pitched in on the fuller side of length, got it to straighten enough to beat Pant's defence and send the off stump on a cartwheel. It was a body blow to India as half an hour of Pant could have swung the game in India's favour.

India Always On Wrong Side Of DRS? Sunil Gavaskar Hints Conspiracy Theory After KL Rahul's Dismissal In 3rd Test
The Day 5 of the third India vs England Test at Lord's began on a horrific note for the visitors as Rishabh Pant, KL Rahul and Washington Sundar departed in quick succession. India needed 135 at the start of the day to win, but those three dismissals pushed India on the brink of a loss in the third Test. While Pant fell to an absolute ripper by Jofra Archer, Sundar was undone by a dream caught and bowled dismissal by the same England star. It was, however, the dismissal of KL Rahul that got former Indian cricket team captain Sunil Gavaskar talking. The batter was out LBW off Ben Stokes but he was given not out initially. Rahul tried to defend the ball but his bat bat was stuck behind the pad. The ball struck his front pad and Stokes was super confident he had got the Indian batter. The DRS showed ball was hitting the middle stump. Gavaskar did not agree with how the DRS showed the ball's trajectory. "Surprisingly, this one didn't bounce that much. When Indian bowlers were bowling balls were going above the stump mostly in reviews," Gavaskar said on air. Michael Vaughan, who was his fellow commentator, tried to diffuse the situation. "I am questioning the technology,' Gavaskar then said. On Day 4 Sunil Gavaskar had blasted the ball-tracking technology after England's Joe Root survived a review during Day 4 of the third Test between England and India. During the 38th over of England's second innings, Root was hit on his pads by a ball from Siraj and the Indian players were convinced that he was out. While the umpire signalled not-out, Siraj and captain Shubman Gill decided to go for the review. Replays showed that although the leg stump was completely visible at the time of impact, the ball moved quite a bit and it was ruled 'umpire's call'. However, Gavaskar was not happy with the dismissal as Siraj and the rest of the team was left disappointed. "You're saying it was going to kiss the leg stump? There's no way. It was knocking the leg stump off. The only good thing is that India have not lost the review," Gavaskar said on commentary. Similar sentiments were echoed by former England batter Jonathan Trott as well. "I am flabbergasted. Having looked at that replay, I thought it was crashing into the inside part of the leg stump. Watching it in real time, I couldn't believe it was missing," Trott added on air.
