IND vs ENG Live Score, 3rd Test Match Day 2: 'Comeback man' Jofra Archer dismisses Yashasvi Jaiswal in his first over.
India vs England Live Score, 3rd Test Match Day 2: Jasprit Bumrah starred once again with the ball, taking 5/74 to help India bowl out England for 387 on day two of the third Test at Lord’s.
Returning to the XI after a break in the second Test for workload management, Bumrah produced a lethal morning spell - removing Joe Root, Ben Stokes, and Chris Woakes in just seven balls - to swing momentum India’s way. His burst left England reeling at 271/7, after they had started the day at a solid 251/4.
However, England’s lower order refused to crumble. Wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith, continuing his fine form, scored a brisk 51, while Brydon Carse made a composed 56, his maiden Test half-century. The duo added 84 runs for the eighth wicket, frustrating India’s bowlers and steering England to a competitive total by lunch.
After the break, Siraj struck twice - removing Smith and later cleaning up Carse - while Bumrah picked up Jofra Archer to complete his second straight five-wicket haul and his first at Lord’s, a moment that earned him a spot on the iconic Honours Board. It was also Bumrah’s 15th career five-for in Tests.
Earlier, Joe Root reached his 37th Test century, surpassing both Steve Smith and Rahul Dravid to climb to fifth on the all-time list of century-makers.
The five-match series remains finely poised at 1-1, with India having bounced back with a massive 336-run win at Edgbaston in the second Test.
