LONDON: A grandstand finish is on the cards in the third Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy Test at Lord’s as England ended day four by having India reeling at 58/4 in 17.4 overs, in a chase of 193 on Sunday.
On a day where 14 wickets fell, 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. Joe Root was England's top-scorer for the innings with 40, but once he was castled by Sundar before tea, the hosts’ suffered a chaotic collapse to go from 154/4 to 192 all out.
Apart from Sundar’s four-fer, Mohammed Siraj and Jasprit Bumrah took two wickets each in sharp spells, while Nitish Kumar Reddy and Akash Deep had a scalp each, as India did an excellent job of striking with the new ball, including extracting inconsistent bounce, and not allowing the lower order to launch a fightback.
