Jasprit Bumrah and Joe Root react to the Dukes ball drama at Lord's | IND vs ENG

There was absolute madness in the final half hour of Day 4 in the third Test at Lord's. After bowling England out for 192 and setting themselves a target of 193, India found themselves in serious trouble. A dramatic top-order collapse left them reeling at 58 for 4 at stumps, still needing 135 runs to win on Monday’s final day.India lost Yashasvi Jaiswal (0), Karun Nair (14), captain Shubman Gill (6), and nightwatchman Akash Deep (1) in a flurry of wickets late in the day.Despite the setback, India all-rounder Washington Sundar remains optimistic, believing India still have the firepower to pull off a memorable victory at Lord’s.India had seized control earlier in the day by bowling England out for just 192 in their second innings, with Sundar starring with a brilliant spell of 4 for 22. But the momentum shifted late in the day when England picked up three wickets in the space of 30 minutes, tilting the balance slightly in their favour.India, however, still have first-innings centurion KL Rahul at the crease, unbeaten on 33. With Rishabh Pant, Ravindra Jadeja , Nitish Kumar Reddy, and Sundar himself yet to bat, the visitors still have depth in their lineup."Solid batters in the dressing room. Winning a Test at Lord’s would be amazing," Sundar told reporters at the end of play.Sundar was exceptional with the ball on Day 4, claiming the prized scalps of Joe Root, Jamie Smith, England captain Ben Stokes , and Shoaib Bashir."It’s been one of my best days with the ball. I had clear plans coming into this Test, and the way it turned out for me and the team was amazing."With the five-match series currently tied at 1-1, all eyes are on the final day at Lord’s to see which side will take a 2-1 lead.
