3rd Test: England Within Touching Distance Of 2-1 Series Lead After Reducing India To 112/8
Resuming Day Five: Jofra Archer, Ben Stokes and Chris Woakes were amongst the wicket-takers on Day Five of the third Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series to put England within touching distance of a 2-1 series lead at Lord’s after reducing India to 112/8 at lunch on Monday.
Resuming Day Five at the overnight score of 58/4, India needed 135 runs to get a fine victory. But Stokes and Archer picked three wickets, including those of Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul, in the first hour. Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Kumar Reddy stitched a stubborn 30-run stand before Woakes took out the latter for 13 at the stroke of lunch to put England on course for a memorable win.
Under cloudy skies, the day began with Pant whipping a poor delivery from Archer for four, before taking off his injured bottom hand four times while dealing with 140kmph and above pacy deliveries from the fast bowler, who constantly attacked the stumps.
