Eng vs ind: fans smoke like the Rishabh Pant output mixture with Kl Rahul spoils the momentum of India on day 3 of the Lord test
India Entered day 3 of the third test at Lord’s with a momentum on their side and consolidated their position with a first dominant session. STAT And Rishabh pants Struck with great discipline, bringing together a stand of a century and more. They neutralized EnglandAttack plans with intelligent typing rotation and solid technique. But just before lunch, a moment of bad communication cost India dear. The Run-ou of Pant Aigri which was otherwise an almost flawless morning for visitors.
Rishabh Pant’s runoff with Kl Rahul Mars dominant session of India on day 3 at Lord’s
In the 66th, with Rahul on 98 and pant out of 74, an Indian partnership well established was suddenly broken. Pant tried a simple simple after pushing the ball to Ben Stokes To a short cover, apparently to get Rahul on strike before the break. There was a brief hesitation between the strikers, and although Rahul has completely engaged, Pant underestimated the athletics of stokes. The skipper of England collected and released into a single movement, pulling a direct blow at the end of the non-attackers.
Pant was well captured in his fold, ending a 141 -point stand built on 198 balls. Stokes roars in celebration, knowing the impact of this counter. India has lost a key dough just before lunch, a psychological blow despite the strength of the dashboard. The run-out could have been avoided with clearer communication, in particular given the situation. Pant’s departure interrupted the momentum of India at a time when they regularly tightened their grip. Its dismissal now leaves an average and lower order slightly exposed under pressure.

India’s session is still strong despite the late reverse against England
Despite Pant’s unhappy dismissal, India has gone with a lot to be satisfied. They scored 103 points in 22.3 overs at a rapid rate of 4.61, presenting control and intention. Short ball tactics from England, Jamie Smith Standing to drop out and the fields wrapped on your legs have all been neutralized by an intelligent counter-game. The pant’s sleeves were laudable, especially since he was breastfeeding a finger injury throughout.
Rahul, a solid rocky out of 98 *, protected the pants during difficult spells and an effectively turned shot. With the deficit now reduced to only 139 points, India’s goal will be to put pressure for a first lead. To come are versatile Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravi will Ravi Jadeja And Washington Sundar, two of which contributed to the last test in Headingley. The form of Reddy with the bat remains a concern, but the experience of Jadeja and Sundar will be crucial. Lord’s field begins to show a variable rebound, which can help the spinners of India later.
Here’s how fans reacted:
I have never seen a cricket player more selfish than Kl Rahul. Just to reach his one hundred before lunch, he sacrificed the pants without a second thought. Stat-Padading imported more for him than the team.

Kl Rahul and Rishabh Pant looked so well the whole session, but operated at the end. What was the need for this only FFS. Ruined all the momentum.

Oh my God
Rishabh Pant is exhausted …Kl, stupid stupid stupid
Kl Rahul Pressure Rishabh Pant for this race. Kl Rahul is the culprit and the Rishabh pant is exhausted.
Selfish players like Rahul are the burden of the team.

What way to go out after hitting so well. This Rishabh Pant round deserved 💯 n more.

Such ashamed that it ended with a very important but really important partnership in the context of the game. Large grain display and determination while fighting pain @ Rishabhpant17 👏🏻 #Engvind pic.twitter.com/kabx0fja4W

If Rishabh was not sure of this race, then why did he run first? Without forgetting, he even stopped between the two. Could have played the latter to Bashir before Yaar lunch. We could have been in such a strong position at the moment. 💔

It’s madness. An outing while giving Rahul the strike out of 98. No no no
– Sarah Waris (@ swaris16) July 12, 2025
Flat deck, Sun’s Out, Prime Batting Conditions, your partner is the most patient man with regard to scores. Absolutely the worst way of running here, Pant FFS.

I have no problem when Pant comes out to play his cricket brand and took the border against the game race, but this outing was simply stupid stupid
– Annorag P Rekhi (@Dravidict) July 12, 2025
Rishabh pants in some respects victim of overestimation there. He is not likely that the bachelor unless Kl Rahul is in danger of giving up beyond his century, and Kl Rahul is not in danger of giving lunch in lunch
– Ben Gardner (@ben_wisden) July 12, 2025
Kl Rahul is a pure guy obsessed with really milestones, he literally pressured the pants to give him the strike of his hundreds
Damn guy, I hope he fails, we don’t need this kind of guy in our F OFF team #Klhahu #Indvseng
