India Under Pressure After Losing Two Set Batters at Lord’s

Team India (272/5 after 74.4 overs) after slipped into a spot of bother after losing two crucial wickets in quick succession during the third Test against England at Lord's, London. Rishabh Pant was run out just before Lunch, and soon after the break, KL Rahul was dismissed, halting India's momentum.

Pant, who had shown great resilience despite a finger injury, fell for a well-made 74. His dismissal came at a crucial juncture, right on the stroke of the session break. Resuming the innings post-lunch, India suffered another blow when KL Rahul, fresh from reaching his 10th Test century, was dismissed shortly after reaching the landmark.

On the bowling front, England shared the spoils evenly. Chris Woakes, Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes, and Shoaib Bashir all picked up a wicket each, ensuring that India’s middle-order remained under pressure.
