"It was phenomenal from Stokes. He understood Pant could be the man in danger in the spur of the moment, and he spun around and hit the stumps. That was fantastic cricket. Great presence of mind."
"There is an opening now for England to come back and regroup. If India had not lost a wicket in that session you go in and shoulders are down. There is some encouragement now to come back out refreshed and see if they can make further inroads. Rahul's job is to keep batting on," said Shastri on Sky Sports' broadcast.
Mel Jones, the former Australia women's cricketer, was in also in praise of Stokes pulling off that moment of brilliance. "That was Stokes at his absolute best - his mind was on how to break this partnership. He can put all that aside and be in the moment to do something like that. That is why he is one of the best leaders around."
With England having an opening to capitalise on in post lunch session, Mel opined on who should take the ball first for the hosts'. "For me, you are now into the all-rounders. This is the time you have to step in. I always tend to think Stokes can do something with the ball, and if you give Archer a spell, see how the pitch responds and go from there."

Third Test evenly poised as India need 135 to win
London, July 13 (UNI) The third Test at Lord's is tantalisingly poised heading into the final day, after a dramatic fourth day saw India bowl England out for 192 and then stumble to 58 for 4 in their chase. K L Rahul held firm with a gritty 33* as the visitors ended the day still needing 135 runs but having lost key wickets under late pressure. Earlier, England began the day at 2/0 and reached Lunch at 98 for 4. A 67-run stand between Joe Root (40) and Ben Stokes (27) offered brief resistance, but India's bowlers kept chipping away. Washington Sundar led the charge post-lunch, first bowling Root with a turning delivery behind his legs, then dismantling Jamie Smith with a drifting ball that crashed into off stump. Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah maintained relentless pressure, with the latter dismissing Ben Stokes just before Tea. England were 175/6 at the interval but folded quickly thereafter, losing their final four wickets for just 17 runs. Akash Deep and Nitish Reddy also chipped in with crucial breakthroughs. Despite a modest target to chase, India's top order faltered under late afternoon clouds and lively English bowling. Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed early, and Shubman Gill's wicket – decided after two reviews – sparked a mini-collapse. Karun Nair and Akash Deep followed soon after, leaving India precariously placed at 58/4 at stumps. India's innings featured three unsuccessful reviews and a final wicket that went against them on umpire's call. With the pitch still offering variable bounce and seam movement, both sides have plenty to play for on Day 5. The momentum has swung several times across four gripping days, and with England's bowlers fired up and India's batting lineup under pressure, the match is now delicately balanced. Brief scores at Day 4 stumps: England 2nd Innings: 192 all out in 62.1 overs (Joe Root 40, Ben Stokes 33; Washington Sundar 4/22, Bumrah 2/38, Siraj 2/31) India 2nd Innings: 58/4 in 17.4 overs (KL Rahul 33*) Match Situation: India need 135 runs with 6 wickets in hand; match evenly poised.

Dhruv Jurel faces backlash over ordinary performance at Lord's, Netizens say ‘He can't be backup for Rishabh Pant'
Home Sports Dhruv Jurel faces backlash over ordinary performance at Lord's, Netizens say 'He can't be backup for Rishabh Pant' Dhruv Jurel faces backlash over ordinary performance at Lord's, Netizens say 'He can't be backup for Rishabh Pant' Dhruv Jurel, stepping in as wicketkeeper in place of the injured Rishabh Pant, faced criticism for his underwhelming display behind the stumps on Day 4 of the Lord's Test. Dhruv Jurel. Rishabh Pant is out of action as he sustained a finger injury, thus, Dhruv Jurel took the role of the wicketkeeper again on Day 4 of the Lord s Test. He had previously created an impact with a fantastic catch to dismiss Ollie Pope in the first inning, yet Day 4 marked a new test. His reflexes have been challenged against an unpredictable bounce of the pitch during the session and his day was worse off with his drop on a clear catch of the very first ball after lunch, something which earned criticism by the fans on social media. Bad performance by Dhruv Jurel The injury of Rishabh Pant has seen India a bit shaken up, as the stand-in Keeper Dhruv Jurel had a very tricky time keeping wickets on the Day 4. On his feet, Jurel has at times not been able to pick up deliveries cleanly against Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj. He dropped a simple catch off Joe Root which was edged by Akash just after lunch. Luckily to India, it was a no-ball declared by the umpire, so the missed chance did not matter. But Indian viewers who watched Jurel making the drop in real-time were not very understanding and they tweeted to express their anger. The following are some of the criticisms on the performance of the young wicket keeper: Apart from one good catch on Jadeja's bowling…Dhruv Jurel has been horrible behind the wickets…Horror show totally… unable to stop even a single down the leg ball — I know right (@I_m_riiit) July 13, 2025 Dhruv Jurel Cant be backup keeper for Rishabh pant leave alone batting he is mile year behind Rishabh in wicket keeping skills as well he cant keep outside flat decks! — Pranchal Kapadiya (@PranchalKapadi4) July 13, 2025 For all the shouts about being the best wicketkeeper for India after taking the catch of Ollie Pope, Dhruv Jurel has been bang average (being lenient) to the pacers since then#INDvsENG — Viggy (@VigneshA_26) July 13, 2025 Bro dropped 2 catches and gave away 20+ bye runs due to his pathetic wicket keeping , please retire asap Dhruv Jurel 😭🙏 — ben dover (@r4gingbvll) July 13, 2025 he second innings of England collapsed to 192 during the third session on Day 4 of Lord Pier Test.

WATCH: Gautam Gambhir erupts at Lord's as Washington Sundar dismisses Joe Root
Gambhir could not keep calm after Sundar removed Joe Root. New Delhi: Head coach Gautam Gambhir was in no mood to contain emotions as Washington Sundar got a breakthrough in the second session on day four of the fifth Test match against England at the Lord.

The off-spinner caught Joe Root leg-before wicket on 40, ending one of the most important partnerships. Gambhir who was in a heated state as a result of the experienced England batter, was spotted on the balcony of the legendary Lord Cricket Ground screaming his head off, and he could not help but express his excitement. Now nobody will give credit to Gautam Gambhir for selecting Washington Sundar#ENGvIND #INDvENG — Ankith Shetty (@AnkithS37681505) July 13, 2025 Gambhir was hardly surprised given the fact that Root had once got a narrow escape in an occasion when a Mohammed Siraj delivery had caught him on the pads and the on-field umpire Paul Reiffel had not raised his finger. India made a request of review, but replay maintained the on-field ruling as umpire call. Root had contributed a well-compiled century towards England impressive first-innings score. But when Sundar gave India a much-needed breakthrough in the second innings, Gambhir stood up uncontrollably expressing his ecstasy. Washington Sundar soon made his way back to strike his third victim by clean bowling England captain Ben Stokes who scored 33 in the penultimate session of the day. As both sides have registered the same score of 387 in the first innings, the Lord Test is now in a delicate position with India and England being neck-to-neck situations ahead of a thrilling finale.
