Day 1 of the third Test between India and England at the iconic Lord's Cricket Stadium on Thursday, July 10 was unexpectedly attritional. In the Bazball era, England won the toss and batted first. However, they only scored 251 runs in 83 overs. Significantly, though, the hosts lost on four wickets in the day.
Taking first strike after winning the toss this time, England lost both their openers in quick succession after a solid start. Ben Duckett was strangled down the leg side for 23 off Nitish Kumar Reddy, while Zak Crawley (18) perished to a beauty from the medium pacer.
Joe Root and Ollie Pope lifted England with a third-wicket stand of 109. The latter fell to Ravindra Jadeja for 44, first ball after tea. However, Root anchored the innings, going to stumps unbeaten on 99. While Jasprit Bumrah bowled Harry Brook for 11, Root and an injured Ben Stokes (39*) added an unbroken 79 by stumps on Day 1.
