In this thrilling episode, we revisit a gripping third Test at Lord’s where England edged India by a mere 22 runs, taking a 2–1 lead in the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy. Ben Stokes stole the spotlight. Returning from a major hamstring surgery and an intensive fitness layoff, he delivered a masterclass—44 & 33 with the bat, a sensational five-wicket haul, and a game-turning run-out of Rishabh Pant.

The drama began early. First-innings scores were level pe***ng at 387 to 387, only the ninth occasion in Test history that both sides registered identical totals. England’s Joe Root top-scored, crashing a century before India countered with KL Rahul’s ton and Ravindra Jadeja’s gritty 72 .

Fast forward to the final day: England set a modest target of 193, yet India’s chase became a battleground. Jadeja stood firm with an unbeaten 61 off 181 balls, reviving hopes from 112/8 to the cusp of victory. But disciplined bowling—marked by yorkers, short-ball tactics, and clutch wicket-taking from Stokes, Jofra Archer, Shoaib Bashir & co.—snatched the win

The sun sets on a golden generation, and a new era dawns as England and India clash in the first-ever Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy. With the recent retirements of Indian giants Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, the stage is set for fresh faces to write the next chapter of this storied rivalry.
