Fired-up England leave India reeling at 58-4
  Date : 17-07-2025

England dismissed four India batters and gave the Lord`s test another twist of fate on Sunday to leave it on a knife-edge heading toward the fifth and final day.

India set itself a winning target of 193 runs but was reduced to 58-4 in its second innings. Stumps, with eight overs remaining, came as a relief to India with England fired up and a sun-soaked Lord`s crowd turned happily hostile.

For one of the teams to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series, England will need six more wickets and India will need 135 more runs on Monday. Opening batter Lokesh Rahul will resume on 33 not out.

India began its chase after tea and appeared to weather the early storm after Yashasvi Jaiswal fell to Jofra Archer for a duck and fellow opener Rahul was dropped on 5 by Chris Woakes.

Rahul and Karun Nair piled more hurt on England and were chipping runs off the target until nearly an hour later when Nair left a straight delivery from seamer Brydon Carse and was plumb lbw.

In came India captain Shubman Gill, the series` most prolific batter. But he was anxious from the start, played six false shots in the nine balls he faced, and was out lbw to Carse for 6.

That huge wicket sent England into orbit and Carse into overdrive.

India sent in fast bowler Akash Deep as a nightwatchman and for the last 15 minutes of the day he was targeted. Deep survived a video review on umpire`s call and multiple lbw and catch appeals off Carse. But it was Stokes who smashed his off stump in what turned out to be the last ball of a remarkable day.

In all, 14 wickets fell on Day 4.
