India lose Lord's Test vs England by 22 runs [Source: @HardCricketpix, @theprayagtiwari/X.com]
The high-voltage third Test between India and England at Lord’s Cricket Ground had a dramatic end as the visitors fell short by 22 runs in a 193-run pursuit. Mohammed Siraj had the unluckiest dismissal in the end, and fans back in India were left utterly heartbroken.
Despite a collapse in the first session on Day 5, all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja showed tremendous resilience to keep India in the game. From 82/7, he batted brilliantly with tailenders to first form a 35-run partnership with Jasprit Bumrah.
While Bumrah got dismissed trying to slog against Ben Stokes, Jadeja and the last man in, Siraj, didn’t give up and kept believing.
India’s Heartbreaking Loss Leads To Emotional Reactions
In the final session of the Lord’s Test, Ravindra Jadeja slammed a half-century and continued to fight for a miraculous victory with Siraj. However, in a heartbreaking moment, Siraj defended a tossed-up delivery from Shoaib Bashir on the back foot, but the ball rolled down to the stumps and clipped the bails.
England were off to a celebratory run while Siraj was on his haunches in sheer disappointment. Jadeja, who stayed unbeaten on 61, was equally heartbroken, as his efforts didn’t yield a successful result for India.
Meanwhile, Indian fans were heartbroken and emotional to see their team miss out on a miraculous victory by just 22 runs. They lauded Siraj and Jadeja’s fightback but also expressed sadness on social media.
