Jadeja's lone battle falls short as Eng seal victory

London, July 14 (UNI) England edged out India by 22 runs in a pulsating third Test at Lord's today, taking a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. Shoaib Bashir's decisive dismissal of Mohammed Siraj late in the final session sealed the win for the hosts after a tense final day that saw Ravindra Jadeja fight valiantly with the bat.
Set a target of 193, India were bowled out for 170 in 74.5 overs. Siraj’s dismissal, bowled through the gate by a sharply turning delivery from Bashir, triggered wild celebrations from the England camp and broke Indian hearts.
The standout performances in the match came from Joe Root and KL Rahul, who struck sublime centuries in the first innings for their respective sides. Root’s fluent 104 anchored England’s innings, while Rahul’s composed 100 kept India on par. England’s 387 was also boosted by useful fifties from Jamie Smith (51) and Brydon Carse (56), who chipped in with crucial lower-order runs.
