IND vs ENG, 3rd Test Day 3 Live Score: Can KL Rahul get a big hundred?
It's not every day you see both teams walk away with bragging rights, but Day 2 at Lord's had a little something for everyone. India's pace machine Jasprit Bumrah got his name etched in gold with a sizzling 5-wicket haul — a spell so good, even the Lord's breeze had to pause. And right on cue, England's very own Joe Root joined him up there, bringing up his 37th Test ton with classic finesse. The two newest additions to the Honours Board! 🖊️ — Lord's Cricket Ground (@HomeOfCricket) July 12, 2025 The iconic Lord's stadium is geared up for Day 3 of this exciting 3rd Test between India and England. How good is Lord's? 😍 Looking forward to the start of play on Day 3 👊 — England Cricket (@englandcricket) July 12, 2025 Forget centuries and five-fors — at Lord's, it was the Dukes ball stealing the show… for all the wrong reasons. On Day 2, the second new ball lasted just 10.4 overs before getting the boot. Its replacement? Rejected too — it didn't even pass the gauge. That led to heated exchanges with umpires and visible frustration from Indian players like Shubman Gill and Mohammed Siraj. Joe Root had a cheeky fix: a DRS-style ball review system — three per team every 80 overs. Not a bad idea, considering how often the ball's shape has become the plot twist. Meanwhile, Anil Kumble offered a more straightforward solution: just bring back the older Dukes ball. The one that actually held its shape and didn't throw tantrums mid-spell. Right now, the ball isn't swinging — it's just spiraling into controversy. The pressure was on when Karun Nair walked in — India had just lost Yashasvi Jaiswal to a fiery Jofra Archer spell, and the Lord's crowd was buzzing. With the scoreboard looking shaky, the 33-year-old, alongside KL Rahul, had a job on his hands. And to his credit, Karun absorbed the early pressure, playing out Archer's heat and settling in before tea. Post the break, he looked the more positive of the two, timing his shots well and working the gaps. The intent was clear, and for a brief period, he looked in control. But when the luck's not with you, it shows. It was a moment four years in the making—and Jofra Archer made it count in style. Making his much-awaited return to red-ball cricket, Archer needed just three deliveries to remind everyone of his class, dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal with a fiery delivery that kissed the leading edge and nestled into the slips. The energy around Lord's lifted instantly, and none more so than in the England camp. Joe Root, speaking at the end of Day 2, was all praise for the returning pacer. 'It was class, wasn't it?' Root said. 'Just the genuine joy of seeing him back playing Test cricket… the impact he adds to the group is huge in the dressing room and also out on the field.' Rishabh Pant, battling a finger injury, showed restraint and resilience as he joined KL Rahul late in the day after Shubman Gill's dismissal. The pair saw off the final overs with caution, stitching together a 38-run stand that kept India steady at stumps. Rahul, who remains unbeaten on 58, will now look to push on and etch his name on the Lord's Honours Board once again. It was a topsy-turvy Day 2 at Lord's—marked by tight spells, a bit of controversy, and key milestones with the bat. But with just 75 overs bowled, the tempo of the game remained relatively slow. The over-rate will be under the spotlight today, and the officials will be hoping to make up for lost time. India will be buoyed by KL Rahul's composed fifty—he's looked as solid as ever and will have his eyes set on a spot on the honours board once again. But England, despite being on the back foot, will be itching to claw their way back with early wickets. The good news? The weather forecast looks promising. With clear skies and little chance of rain, Day 3 could be the perfect setting for India to push ahead with the bat. Expect a high-stakes battle as both teams look to wrest control. Hello and a warm welcome to Day 3 of the third Test between England and India, coming to you from the historic Lord's Cricket Ground in London. The spotlight today will firmly be on KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant, who resume proceedings with the task of steering India into a commanding position. A solid partnership here could set the tone for the rest of the innings and potentially swing the match in India's favour. But standing in their way is Jofra Archer, who is still fresh into his comeback and eager to make a statement. Alongside him, the rest of the English bowling attack will be gunning for quick breakthroughs to regain control. Stay tuned — it promises to be an action-packed day of Test cricket!

Did Rajasthan Royals opener Vaibhav Suryavanshi fail Class 10 board exams? Here's the truth
By Aditya Bhagchandani Published on May 15, 2025, 10:10 IST As CBSE announced the Class 10 and 12 board results, social media was abuzz with a bizarre claim — that 14-year-old Rajasthan Royals sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi had failed his Class 10 exams. The post quickly went viral, leaving fans puzzled: is the IPL's young hero struggling in academics? A widely shared satirical post suggested that Suryavanshi failed the exams and that the BCCI had hilariously requested a 'DRS-style' review of his answer sheets due to alleged evaluation errors. But here's the truth — the entire claim was a joke. Vaibhav hasn't failed — or passed — Class 10 In reality, Vaibhav Suryavanshi is not even in Class 10 yet. According to reports, he is currently a student of Class 9. So the question of him failing or passing the 10th board exam simply doesn't arise. Vaibhav's IPL rise continues to stun fans Vaibhav became a sensation during IPL 2025 when he smashed a six off his very first ball and went on to score a 35-ball century — the second-fastest in IPL history and the fastest by an Indian, breaking Yusuf Pathan's previous record of 37 balls. In five matches this season, the young prodigy has scored 155 runs at a blazing strike rate of 209.45, hitting 16 sixes and 10 fours. However, despite his individual brilliance, Rajasthan Royals have exited the IPL 2025 playoff race. Conclusion: The viral claim of Vaibhav Suryavanshi failing Class 10 is false and meant as satire. The young cricketer is currently in Class 9 and continues to focus on both cricket and academics.

Ford Mustang GTD Buyer Reveals the Options on the Secret Car Configurator
Unfortunately for the supercar configurator enthusiasts among us, Ford does not have a public means of speccing out its supercar-fighting Mustang GTD online. The brand has chosen to restrict that tool only to buyers approved by its own selection process, which is as close to closed-doors as online configurators get. Fortunately, though, Ford seems to have no restrictions against future owners showing the public what that exclusive tool looks like. One of those approved buyers, Manny Khoshbin, shared the configurator in a YouTube video uploaded last week. The clip reveals a few specifics about how Ford's ultimate supercharged Mustang will be built, including some of the option packages and a few of the visual customization selections available for GTD buyers. The most notable option is the previously-announced Performance Package, which is headlined by the car's DRS-style active rear wing. The package also features a painted carbon fiber splitter and diffuser, plus lightweight half-shafts and the all-important lightweight carpeting. Just six paint colors are available in the car's standard palette, but an optional paint-to-sample-style program allows significant customization. Two interior options, a primary black and a black-gray two tone, are available. An optional carbon package adds more exposed carbon fiber to the exterior, while an optional titanium package adds larger paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. The Spirit of America and Carbon Series, two special edition GTD models already announced by Ford, are separate complete packages at the end of the configurator. Khoshbin says that the Spirit of America edition is limited to 20% of productionm and has already sold out for 2025. Unlike many other configurators, Ford's GTD tool does not seem to show price changes added by specific packages and options. hat said, Ford enthusiast site Ford Authority reports that the two special editions, Spirit of America and Carbon Edition, are priced at a whopping $429,000 and $428,000, respectively. If options are an additional charge on top of that, the ultimate Mustang certainly does not come cheap. Then again, with a base price of $325,000, it's always been a long way off from the ranks of the best affordable sports cars where siblings like the Mustang Dark Horse play.
