| On Day One of the third Test at Lord’s (July 10, 2025), Joe Root anchored England’s innings with a patient 99* as his side recovered to 251/4. Early strikes from India’s Nitish Kumar Reddy (2/46) had left England struggling at 44/2, but Root’s partnerships with Ollie Pope and Ben Stokes steadied the ship. Stokes closed on 39*, though a slight groin tweak raised fitness concerns. India reintroduced pacer Jasprit Bumrah and showed intent to dominate the Lord’s encounter |
