Bowlers set up thrilling final day shootout

The Journal

July 14, 2025

ENGLAND'S bowlers set up a thrilling day five shootout at Lord’s as 14 wickets tumbled amid high drama at the home of cricket.

England were bowled out for a subpar 192 on the fourth evening, a combination of relentless bowling and self-inflicted errors leaving India favourites to chase 193 at the change over. But they responded brilliantly with ball in hand, sending the tourists in at 58 for four in an unmissable final hour.

Jofra Archer bounced out Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck, Brydon Carse sawed off Karun Nair and Shubman Gill with a pair of lbws and Ben Stokes provided the perfect finale, smashing the stumps of nightwatchman Akash Deep with the last ball of the day.

Had Chris Woakes taken a caught and bowled to dismiss KL Rahul on five, England might even have had their noses in front.

The atmosphere inside the historic venue had reached fever pitch, Joe Root acting as cheerleader as he exhorted the crowd to roar the home side on, and Monday is already a sellout after fans snapped up the remaining tickets in anticipation of a classic finish.

Tensions were simmering nicely following the time-wasting row that erupted late on the third evening, India enraged by Zak Crawley’s go-slow antics that robbed them of a second over before stumps.

Crawley pulled every trick in the book to prevent Mohammed Siraj getting the ball in his hand and the seamer had clearly been stewing on the incident overnight.
