MOVING DAY AT LORD'S

14 wickets fall on Sunday as hosts England make early inroads after setting a target of 193

- FIROZ MIRZA @LONDON

It was supposed to be a one hard-fought day of cricket and Day 4 of the third Test between India and England here at the Lord's Cricket Ground lived up to its billing. If the last over bowled by India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah on Saturday was a precursor to what's in the store in the day to follow, what finally panned out in front of a jam-packed stadium the next day exceeded expectations.

With the pitch offering uneven bounce, India did well to bowl out England for 192 in their second innings. But that was just the beginning as chasing a tricky 193 target on such a surface was never going to be easy and that was what exactly happened.

The visitors lost four wickets for just 58 in their pursuit for a remarkable win as the match headed to an exciting finish on the final day. Previous innings centurion KL Rahul was unbeaten on 33 when the bails were drawn.
