England captain Ben Stokes took a wicket with the final ball of day four as the third Test against India hangs in the balance at Lord’s.
With India chasing 193 for victory, Jofra Archer (1-18) gave England a perfect start when he dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal (0) for a duck, while Brydon Carse (2-11) trapped Karun Nair (14) and skipper Shubman Gill (6) leg-before, and Stokes bowled Akash Deep (1) with the final delivery, leaving India 58-4 at stumps with KL Rahul (33no) in the middle.
Earlier, England were bowled out for 192 with no player going past a half-century with Joe Root’s 40 being the highest score, as the hosts crumbled against India’s spinner Washington Sundar (4-22) and Jasprit Bumrah (2-38).
The fiery emotions of day three bubbled over when Mohammed Siraj (2-31) dismissed Ben Duckett (12) in the sixth over and the pair shared a heated exchange in the middle, before Sundar initiated a collapse that saw England fall from 181-7 to 192 all out in eight overs, with Bumrah wrapping up the tail.
India have comfortably chased scores of more than 250 throughout this series and initially looked all but set for a victory to take a 2-1 lead in the five-match series but the final hours of day four produced more chaos and the Test now hangs in the balance.
