(AP Photo/Richard Pelham) LONDON (AP) — Rishabh Pant was run out by England captain Ben Stokes off the last ball before lunch to spoil an otherwise perfect morning session by India on Day 3 of the third test at Lord's on Saturday. Pant (74) was trying to pinch a quick single off Shoaib Bashir to get fellow batter Lokesh Rahul, who was on 98, on strike so he could try to get to his century before the break. Advertisement Stokes was alert, however, and hit the stumps at the non-striker's end and bring to a close a 141-run stand for the fourth wicket. India went to lunch on 248-4, having resumed on 145-3, and trailing by 139 runs. The test at the home of cricket is well poised, as is the five-match series at 1-1. ___ AP cricket:

(AP Photo/Richard Pelham) LONDON (AP) — England cricket star Joe Root isn't only a batting great. He also holds a record in test cricket for catching after snaffling Karun Nair with a stunning one-handed grab in the third test against India at Lord's on Friday. Advertisement Root has 211 catches in the longest format, the most for an outfielder after breaking a tie with retired India great Rahul Dravid. Standing in his usual position at first slip, Root dropped to his left to make the one-handed catch just before the ball was going to hit the ground. Already in this test, Root has made 104 for his national record-extending 37th test century, placing him fifth on the all-time list. ___ AP cricket:
