Akshay’s latest movie, ‘Housefull 5,’ released last month and is a massive hit at the box office. He has several films lined up, some with big banners.
Lord’s Test Hung In Balance
Meanwhile, Indian fans had to endure disappointment as the visiting team lost 3 wickets in the first hour of Day 5’s play. After Jofra Archer cleaned up Rishabh Pant, Ben Stokes weaved his magic to trap KL Rahul in an LBW dismissal.
Archer once again dominated in his spell with a blinder catch in his over to dismiss Washington Sundar on a 4-ball duck. India were 7 wickets down with 82 runs on board, and Ravindra Jadeja and Nitish Reddy are the last pair keeping India’s victory chances alive.
