Jasprit Bumrah has been released from India's squad for the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy against England at The Oval. The BCCI confirmed the development on the morning of Day 2, citing workload management as the reason behind the move."Mr Jasprit Bumrah has been released from India's squad for the fifth Test of the series against England.

Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep and Prasidh Krishna led the attack in that match as India secured a 336-run victory under Shubman Gill's captaincy. There were discussions within and outside the camp about playing Bumrah in the final Test given the series was still alive, but the team management stuck to its original plan. Head coach Gautam Gambhir had made it clear earlier in the series: "There will be no compromise on workload."India made four changes for the Oval Test.

Teacher's deep dive into running Ross Shield rugby in Wairoa
A reunion of the team, one of nine Wairoa sides listed as winners on the Honours Board dating back over 120 years, is planned. It will be a particularly poignant gathering of the players, now aged over 70, having apparently never had a team photo with the trophy. Much of the memorabilia held by the Blake whanau, which has been represented on the fields multi-generationally, was lost in a homestead fire, including Bill Blake's own Wairoa cap from 1944 and the caps of sevens sons who wore the green jersey between 1975 and 1985. Whakatope, whose own sports prowess was in netball and basketball, said during lunch-break at her kura kast week: 'If there's anything that Wairoa needs it is that we all band together. Since Wairoa last hosted this tournament in 2019, we've all been through quite a bit. 'I put my hand up,' she said. 'I'm new to the Ross Shield, new to rugby.' Things started late, in May, and there were just 'eight weeks to go' in a town where the performance of the organisers and this year's team run parallel in importance. First, she had to start finding out 'what it was all about' and was surprised, in a good way, to learn what the Ross Shield tournament means to the families, including her own, and the district. The Blake whanau at the 2023 Ross Shield tournament in Napier in 2023, for the recapping of the primary schools rugby patron and his seven sons whose Wairoa Ross Shield team caps were lost in a fire. Photo / NZME She made a beeline for such rugby stalwarts as Sid Ropitini, Toby Taylor and Wayne Hema, and organisers of last year's tournament. That was held in Waipukurau and won for a third year in a row by Napier, in a continuation of the Napier-Hastings domination since Wairoa shared the title with Hastings East 31 years ago. Amid the horrors that the weather has thrown at Wairoa since the last Ross Shield tournament there, fingers are crossed that Lambton Square will be in good nick for three games a day. Senior Wairoa sub-union defences for the Barry Cup are being played at other venues, such as the first on July 20 at Māhia, to help keep the square's turf fresh for what will be the biggest event of any sort in Wairoa this year. Players and officials will be accommodated at the only two motels in town and at marae as far away as Māhia, more than 40km from Wairoa. At least six Hawke's Bay referees, mainly from Napier-Hastings, will officiate as referees or associate referees, with three needed per game. They're expected to include appointments officer Mark Johnson and fellow career school teacher, principal, and Premier grade referee Martin Hantz. A particular feature will be the end-of-tournament handing over of the tournament's first mauri stone to organisers of the 2026 tournament to be held in Hastings. It's being provided by Ngāti Pāhauwera as a symbol of protection and strength for the tournament, one of the last under-13 weight-restricted rugby tournaments in New Zealand. The tournament has outlasted such others as the upper North Island's inter-provincial Roller Mills tournament, canned in 2019 as the Northern Region Rugby Council stopped enabling provincial competition for teams under the age of 16.

Vaibhav Suryavanshi's day out at Lord's; what did India U-19 star do during visit to Home of Cricket?
It's a dream for every cricketer to play at Lord's one day in his or career. With his eyes fixed on the Honours Board on the names like KL Rahul, Jasprit Bumrah and other Indian stalwarts, Vaibhav Suryavanshi's quite ambition of featuring alongside the big names in world cricket took off when the India U-19 team visited the Home of Cricket recently. Suryavanshi is a part of the India U-19 side in their tour of England. While the whole Indian U-19 team watched Shubman Gill etch his name into history books in Birmingham, the future India stars were given a tour of Lord's where their seniors suffered a collapse while chasing 193 against England in the third Test. In a video shared by the BCCI, the Blue Colts were in awe of the dreamy stadium as they witnessed Lord's iconic spaces - the Long Room, players' balcony, where they also clicked a group picture. However, Suryavanshi stole the spotlight in a two minute 31 seconds video, where the Rajasthan Royals star was drawn to the Lord's dressing room and its famed Honours Board. Its not only a tour but an inspiration for the young boys, opined head coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar, who was a part of the tour tour in 1994. 'It's a very big moment. One is the history of Lord's, and second, there are so many great achievements here by our countrymen. It's great to know the legacy this place has. "We toured Lord's in 1994 as Under-19s as well. So I could relate to what they're feeling — the boards in the dressing rooms where the achievements are written, the fifers and the hundreds — these things really inspire you," Kanitkar said. Besides the spotlight on Suryavanshi, it was a big day for India U-19 captain Ayush Mhatre, who celebrated his birthday at Lord's balcony. 'It's a very special day for me that my birthday was celebrated at Lord's, and my cake cutting happened at the venue,' Mhatre said. 'There will never be a bigger moment in my life, but this biggest moment feels very special. After seeing all of this, I can't wait for the day when I can come here to play and bat,' added the Chennai Super Kings star. In their tour of England, India won the youth ODI series 3-2 and drew the first youth Test. The second game starts on July 20.

Inside the Dukes Ball Drama: Gill's Anger, Bumrah's Stand, Root's Take Speaking about the key dismissal of Joe Root, he added: "Whenever you get him (Root) out, gives you a lot of confidence and puts pressure on the opposition as well. He is a world class player. The ball is a little different from the last series I played here, obviously I understand dry conditions and hot summer as well.

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!
