“Test cricket hurts like no other” – Fans devastated as India suffer a heartbreaking 22-run loss at Lord’s.

Test cricket: England secured a thrilling 22-run victory over India in the third Test at Lord’s. The match, part of the five-Test series, was played at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground in London.

Batting first, England posted a competitive total of 387 runs. Joe Root led the charge with a brilliant century, scoring 104 runs off 199 balls. Supporting him were Jamie Smith, who scored a solid 51, and Brydon Carse, who contributed an impressive 56, helping England surpass the 380-run mark. For India, Jasprit Bumrah was the standout bowler, claiming five wickets—his first five-wicket haul at Lord’s.

India responded strongly with the bat. Opener KL Rahul scored a well-crafted century, while Rishabh Pant (74) and Ravindra Jadeja (72) also made valuable half-centuries. Despite looking well-placed to take the lead, India collapsed late and were all out for 387, matching England’s first innings total.

In their second innings, Indian bowlers struck back effectively, dismissing England for just 192 runs. Washington Sundar was the key bowler, taking four wickets and setting India a target of 193 to win.

However, India’s chase faltered dramatically. They lost four wickets in the final hour of day four and struggled again in the first session of day five, losing five more wickets to be reduced to 112/8. Ravindra Jadeja stood firm with an unbeaten 61, fighting alongside Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj. Despite their valiant effort, India were all out for 170, falling short by 22 runs as England celebrated a hard-fought win.

What a test match!! #INDvsENGIndia lost but they fought till the end. This series India have dominated across the 5 days of the test match but lost crucial moments to England & they took it. Inexperience cost us but this is how you learn.
I love Test cricket, nothing like it. pic.twitter.com/dk89pwUNfw
