Mohammed Siraj was left in tears after India leaned in their 193-run in the last shift of the test match of the Lord’s test match. While Scorecard says India has lost only 22 runs on day 5 to shoot the Lord, the reality is that the Indian loss was reduced by two intense lower racks between Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.
The Jadeja shifts were mixed reviews of 61 runs. The left -hander scored his slowest half -century in his test career, in shifts that occupied a lot of patience under complex conditions. He created two partnerships with Bumurah and Siraj, which lasted a combined 34 exceeding.
However, questions about the approach of Ravindra Jadeja were raised – if it got too defensive – which hampered the progress of India in the game. But more later.
ENG VS Indian, 3. Test: Match Message
The Indian Spinner Washington Sundar, who came to the 5th day of the test match, was extremely confident. In an interview with Sky Sports Washington said India would 100 % win the game on the last day.
Washington’s photo has now become MEME, widely shared on social media on Sunday, after India leaned out the game that seemed to be on top until the middle of the 4th test match.
So where did India lose the game? Was it a failure of the highest ranking in the second shift? Or should we insulate Rishabh Pant Run-Out 3. Day? Or was it a host of accessories that India admitted against a moving ball over two shifts of this game?
Here’s a look:
Ruthless SHUBMAN AND JAISWAL
The first and most visible is, of course, a terrible effort to launch India in the second shift. For the highest order that did so well in this series, the Indian ruthless attitude with the bat was as a shock.
Yashsvi Jaiswal was the main culprit that attracted himself to hit the short ball from Jofra Archer – the one who could be left alone. Jaiswal’s goal set the tone to follow the others when Shaubman Gill and Karun Nair succumbed to the intense pressure of English sailors.
Gill in her stay 9 balls looked like a goal. Gill, with the exception of one cover unit, looked as if he had nicknamed Balls on the side and outside the side.
Loss of 4 goals for 58 late on day 4. The day completely changed the momentum of the game and helped England to complete the nerve victory in Lord’s.
Lack of the Ravindry Jadeja
While the release of SHUBMAN, Jaiswal and even Rishabh Pant soon 5. The day of day 5 caused India under pressure, there was still hope. The objective of 193 runs was reachable, especially for the order of tabs, which was designed to solve these situations.
The Gautam Gambhira preference with the Washington Sundar, which extends the Indian tail, should do this work. But no.

Former head coach India Ravi Shastri argued, while during his shifts he commented that Jadeja was supposed to have a better chance in his shifts, instead of inviting pressure.
However, it should be noted that Jadeja left only Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj for society in the last part of the shifts, and perhaps this pressure has improved at that time. Jadeja survived in 181 balls and a little support from the highest order could incline the game in favor of India.
After saying it, Jadeja detonated 38 balls in a partnership with Nitish Reddy, which lasted 91 supplies. In these 38 Jadeja scored 9 and Nitish scored 13 (58). There, India should be gathering more runs.
KL RAHUL’S DROP OF JAMIE SMITH
If we go into the match further, the story complicates a little than just a failure in the second shift shootout. When England decided a bat in a home test match – only for the second time in the whole era of Bazball – it was clear that they were under pressure.
After slowly and a half day, England slowly after slow batting after slow tabs. India left them in the first session at the neck when she took three quick goals on the day 2. In the morning. Ideally, India should complete England quickly, but no.
The stupid drop of Jamie Smith at 5 ended with more than 100 runs of 271/7. Smith scored 51 while the sailor Brydon Cart added 56 his own. This was powered by England on 387 runs – the one that might have been too much for the Indian team.
Dinesh Karthik, talking to Sky Sports, explained that there were many small mistakes that were complicated in India during the test match that should be prevented.
“You have to look at the whole test, not what happened today …”

It also reflects the terrible need for the Indian tail to contribute some runs to shifts. While the hosts reached 387 after they were up to 271/7, India, on the other hand, composed from 250/4 to 387 in their first exchange at Lord.
Rishabh hinge tissue
Now, if we really nitpick, it’s perhaps a moment that would cost India the most. Rishabh Pant, launching with Panache, fell into the trap of an unnecessary range in the first shifts. The hinge, who wanted to bring Kl Rahul to the strike, took Ben Stokes to a short cover and finally lost a direct throw goal.
Rishabh wanted to get KL for a strike that wanted to reach hundreds as soon as possible, but eventually lost the goal in this process.
This basically began Indian collapse and was recognized by Shubman Gill at a press conference after the match.
“At one point, we felt that we could get a 50-100 run of leadership, which would be a massive 5 day when the launching would make it difficult. It was a big break. If we secured the lead, we could put England on the hind leg,” Skman said after the game.
Accessories against a moving ball
India admitted a total of 63 runs in supplements in the Lord’s test match. The slope, mixed with the ball, which was really late, made the life of Dhruv Jurela behind the goals.
Gill acknowledged this problem, but added that besides two possible boundaries, the breeder could not be done much.
Indian 32 accessories in the second shifts were the third highest contributor to England to their shifts a total of 192. Only Joe Root (40) and Ben Stokes (33) were scored in the 4th day of the test match before the runs.
The loss in the Lord means that India is 1-2 down in a series of 3 tests. Both teams will enjoy a big game before 4. Game in Manchester. India would hope that the break would allow them to recover and solve minor problems in their game before another game.
– ends
