India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Nair strikes two boundaries, finding the perfect gap to get some key runs!

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Fine, fine spell from Woakes as he gives out just one boundary during the play. KL mostly played block off his over. 

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: The art of letting go was perfectly displayed at Lord's with KL & Nair facing speedster Archer with timely hits and also letting go os some shots

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Karun Nair and KL Rahul have held on to their nerves against the mighty English pace attack. Archer has been very fast, and Woakes also showed his prowess with the ball after India's blazing start as they have slowed them down. 

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: A wicket and a maiden on his comeback for England in Tests. Archer is nothing less than sensational!

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Blazing Jaiswal was tamed by Archer! Edged by the opener and then an easy catch to dismiss the young batter. India In Early Trouble!

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Not just one but three boundaries and then a single! Jaiswal is off to a flyer! 

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Jaiswal and KL have come out to bat for India as they aim for a lead. Woakes has the ball as the new innings begin. GAME ON! 

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Excellent delivery from Siraj! Carse moved a bit and the Indian angled it well! nearly a yorker and it does the job. After two misses, he finally gets the final man.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Bashir scores no runs as he continues block and play. India is pushing ahead for wickets byt Bashir held on well

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Siraj was in disbelief after two chances were dropped! India still try for chances in the game as Siraj completes his over.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: A beautiful hit from Carse which went high but didn't carry for a six and he settled for a boundary. But he completes his half century.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: A wicket to complete his five-for, and a strong display from India.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: There was a brief delay after Skipper Gill went down due to pain and the physio came out to check on him. The cameras then panned towards Rishabh Pant, who was seen heading for the nets to get some practice.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: The Lord's Crowd is on their feet to give Bumrah a standing ovation as the talismanic pacer clinched a five-wicket haul! He's now up in the Lord's Honours Board.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Solid bowling effort from Siraj as the tailenders tried to scramble for runs but couldn't do so.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Some fielding errors for India as Reddy fumbles, but not for the second time! But Bumrah concedes two boundaries in the process. The tailenders have been in attacking mode and hitting in the gaps to gain the runs. 

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Mohammed Siraj finally gets Smith after that early drop! Caught behind by Jurel, who makes no mistake! Smith delivers under pressure but has to settle for 51 this time.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: The second session officially commences, with Bumrah searching for his fifth wicket now.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Fifty comes up for Jamie Smith, but spare a thought for KL Rahul who dropped him when he was on 5. And it is lunch now. England will be pleased with this and the aim will now be to cross 400 in the second session.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Indeed, Bumrah gets another over. But he is hit for a nice little boundary by Carse of all people and the over goes for 5 runs. Not what India wanted.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Akash Deep's over goes for just 3 runs but the real news is Bumrah warming up while on the field. Seems like Gill wants his strike bowler to have an over or two before lunch.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: A much better over from Nitish that only concedes 3 runs. Carse and Smith, worryingly for India, look well settled now though.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: TWO FOURS! One byes, and one loose ball that Carse gets through the off-side. And that is an over to forget from Akash Deep. 10 runs come off it.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Interesting bowling change as Nitish, the man who got the 1st two wickets on Day 1, comes back in. But 6 runs come off the over, including 1 four. 

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: The replaced ball, which was 48 deliveries old, is changed. Again. This is a bit much. Gill seems happier with the new ball though. 

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: The changed ball has swung a lot less than the older one, which is perhaps why Gill and others were unhappy. England won't be complaining much though, and the two batters seem settled.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Ravindra Jadeja gets the ball and his first over is a good one, with just 1 coming off it. Akash Deep follows up with a stellar over too, giving away just 2 runs.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Siraj gives away just 4 runs in this over but it is clear India are looking for more wickets - and fast. They don't want England to bat through much longer.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Bumrah's spell is done for now and Akash Deep replaces him. Not a bad start from him as he only gives away 5 runs to start. And now it is time for drinks.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: This was some over from Siraj and he very nearly dismisses Carse, with a nice little in-swinger but it misses the edge and the stumps too. 300 up for England.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Jamie Smith gets a boundary off Bumrah but he continues to look for wickets. This remains a fascinating contest. 

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Smith gets a boundary off Siraj but the real news is India are already unhappy with the shape of the ball - it's only 10 overs old! Strange, really. Their request is granted too as the ball does not pass through the hoops. But India seem unhappy with the replacement ball too. This gets murkier. And the over ends with another four.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Brydon Carse punishes a short and wide ball from Bumrah for a four, then gets 3 runs later in the over. Considering he is a tail-ender, these are valuable runs.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: It is now about how many runs Jamie Smith and Brydon Carse can get a hold of. So far, they are doing good. But Bumrah excels at cleaning up the tail… 

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: My my! Bumrah has 2 in 2 and is on a hat-trick. Just outside off stump and Woakes pokes at it. Umpire says not out, but a review shows he did in fact edge it!

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: OUT! BOWLED. Bumrah has Root for the 11th time in Tests. Root inside-edges an in-swinger right onto the stumps and India are loving this.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: TWO FOURS AND A DROPPED CATCH! An eventful Siraj over sees new man Jamie Smith whack him for a four then get dropped by KL Rahul in the slips. To add insult to injury, he gets another 4 to end the over!

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: FOUR AND BOWLED! Stokes starts the over with a four but is cleaned up by Bumrah off the very next ball. There goes the danger man. 

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Siraj shares the new ball with Bumrah and it is an uneventful over until the last ball when Stokes sets off on a risky single and had given up, but Yashasvi Jaiswal missed the direct hit!

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: FOUR! Root gets a streaky boundary off Bumrah and gets his 37th Test hundred. Also his 8th ton at Lord's and 11th vs India. Take a bow!

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Right, the day is now officially underway. Root and Stokes at the crease, Jasprit Bumrah to bowl the first over of the day!

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: The pitch report for Day 2 suggests it will get dry eventually but the strip will be good for batting as things stand. Given the use of the roller before the match, the first hour will be crucial. 

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: One thing that Indian fans will hope can be exploited is the England team's tendency to self-destruct. That is understandable when playing extremely high-risk cricket but not so much when playing traditional Test cricket - yet England did lose wickets in clusters on Day 1 too.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: In case you want to relive Day 1 before the start of Day 2, here's the full highlights of the first day of the 3rd Test!

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: The start of play is now less than 30 minutes away. It should be an interesting Day 2 at Lord's.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Will we get to see more such friendly banter from the Indian players on Day 2?

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Worth remembering that Rishabh Pant picked up an injury yesterday and thus Dhruv Jurel came on as a sub ‘keeper. Well, news coming from Lord’s today suggests Jurel is indeed doing some 'keeping drills so could well start the day behind the stumps.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: For India, the tactic would be simple - take the new ball quickly and hope to do some damage. Conditions are likelier to get better to bat as the days go on.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: We are about an hour away from the start of day's play. And the excitement to watch some Test cricket at Lord's continues to grow.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Nitish Kumar Reddy impressed with the ball on Day 1. Here he is talking about the two people who have driven his bowling improvement.

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: English weather is notoriously difficult to predict but the forecast as of now is a clear and sunny day. Might be music to the ears of the English batters…

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: So sedate was England's approach on Day 1 that Mohammed Siraj actually asked Root ‘where is Bazball?'

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: Joe Root is one of England's best-ever batters but also one with one of the worst conversion rates. There will be nerves over whether he gets to the magic 100-run mark until he does!

India vs England 2nd Test 2025: The hosts ended Day 1 at 251-4 but what makes this position even better is the presence of Joe Root and Ben Stokes at the crease.
