IND vs ENG 3rd Test: The third Test between India and England at the historic Lord's Cricket Ground has taken a dramatic turn, with the hosts mounting an impressive fightback to leave the visitors reeling at the end of Day 4.
What once looked like a comfortable chase for India turned into a tense battle, with the match finely poised ahead of the final day.

After being dismissed for 192 in their second innings, England had set India a modest target of 193 runs to win the Test and take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. With the pitch still offering something for the bowlers and overcast conditions assisting seam movement, England's pace attack came to life just when it mattered.
India's top order faltered under pressure as England's bowlers seized control in the evening session. Brydon Carse spearheaded the assault with two crucial wickets, while veteran pacers Jofra Archer and Ben Stokes chipped in with one wicket each. The Indian team finished Day 4 at 58 for 4, still requiring 135 runs to seal the win but with very little margin for error.
KL Rahul stood firm at one end, playing a composed knock of 33 not out. The experienced right-hander showed grit and determination, but the lack of support from the other end made the task more difficult. India's remaining batters will need to dig deep if they are to survive the early burst of pace on the final morning and guide their side to victory.
Earlier in the match, both teams posted identical first-innings totals of 387, keeping the contest balanced. However, England's collapse in their second innings gave India an edge that they failed to capitalise on during the late stages of Day 4.
As the final day approaches, all eyes will be on Rahul and the lower middle order to see whether India can script a memorable win at Lord's or if England's spirited comeback will see them level the series.
The match on Day 5 will start at 3:30 pm IST, which is 11 am local time in London. The match will continue till 10:30 pm IST on the second day, which is 6 pm in England.
