Skipper Ben Stokes: Skipper Ben Stokes’ ability to conjure up moments of brilliance again came true when he castled nightwatchman Akash Deep in the final over, as England left India at 58/4 in 17.4 overs at stumps on day four of third Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Lord’s on Sunday.
After off-spin bowling all-rounder Washington Sundar used his drift and accuracy well to pick a brilliant 4-22 and end England’s second innings at 192 in 62.1 overs, India embarked on a chase of 193 to go 2-1 up in the five-match series.
But in the last 30 minutes of day’s play, England picked up three wickets to tilt the game in their favour ahead of day five. India still have first-innings centurion KL Rahul unbeaten on 33 and they would want him to stay till the end to knock off the remaining 135 runs.
