England legend Geoffrey Boycott has taken a dig at opener Zak Crawley after he continues to struggle in the ongoing five-match Test series against India. Crawley, who has played in 57 Test matches, has struggled big time in the series scoring 128 runs in six innings so far. According to Boycott, Crawley has not learned from his mistakes and questioned the batter’s technique.<h2>Boycott takes jibe at Crawley</h2>"How many more chances is Crawley going to get? He has learned nothing in his 57 Tests. A waft in the first innings caught behind and a front-foot drive in the second innings to a wide sucker ball caught at gully. It was just a replay of too many of his dismissals. Time to go,” Boycott wrote in his The Telegraph.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the six innings played so far, he has scored 4, 65, 19, 0, 18 and 22, highlighting his poor form in the series. His sole fifty came in the second innings of the Headingley Test where England won in the final session of the Test. The hosts chased a record 371 runs to win the Test match with Crawley playing an important role. However, apart from that contribution he has struggled for England, barely scoring runs.&nbsp;&nbsp;ALSO READ | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/ex-india-coach-under-whom-team-attained-number-1-test-ranking-questions-jadejas-intent-after-lords-loss-1752598282616">Ex-India coach, under whom team attained number 1 Test ranking, questions Jadeja's intent after Lord's Loss</a><h2>England lead series 2-1</h2>With no lead in hand for the second innings of Lord's Test, this ultimately came back to haunt Team India.

India suffered a heartbreaking 22-run defeat in the third Test match against England as the hosts took a 2-1 lead in the series on Monday (July 14).

We all feel Rohit and Virat's absence, but they took the decision on their own. BCCI has a policy of never telling any player when to retire and from which format. This is on the player.

Veteran former England speedster James Anderson is all set to feature in the upcoming edition of The Hundred after Manchester Originals roped him in. In an announcement made on Tuesday (July 15), Manchester Originals acquired Anderson’s services as part of the two-member draft pick, having gone undrafted during the main drafts.

When you're at the games you can really see that it does attract a slightly different crowd, a lot of younger people and families, and you can't underestimate how important that is for our game.

Former India coach Anil Kumble, under whom the team rose of number 1 in Test rankings in 2016-17 season, has questioned all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja's intent on final day (Jul 14) of Lord's Test vs England. India lost the match by 22 runs with Jadeja stranded on the other end on 61. The all-rounder, Kumble says, could have shown a bit more intent and taken a chance. Jadeja played 181 balls in his marathon innings, hitting only four fours and a six. India now are 1-2 in the five-Test series two more matches to go.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/siraj-first-since-paks-rahat-ali-to-achieve-this-feat-in-england-in-a-test-1752589128944">Siraj first since Pak's Rahat Ali to achieve THIS feat in England in a Test</a>"The two bowlers he could have potentially taken on were Chris Woakes, who is slightly slower in the air, and then Bashir and Joe Root. I know they're off-spinners taking the ball away, but it wasn't turning square. So there wasn't a lot to worry about in terms of spin or the outside edge. Jadeja has played on tougher pitches and against better bowling. I thought he could have taken a chance," Kumble said after the game. "You want to take those risks. Yes, there were a few runs he rightly declined because Bumrah and Siraj were at the other end, but he could have chanced it a bit more," he further added.Nonetheless, it was a game for the ages which kept everyone hooked until the ball defended by Mohammed Siraj off Shoaib Bashir rolled on to the stumps. Before the last wicket, Jadeja had added 35 runs for the ninth wicket with Jasprit Bumrah - the highest for Indian in fourth innings of Test in England. Bumrah, shortly before tea, had a lapse in concentration though and played a pull shot despite missing it thrice earlier. The fourth attempt at the shot, which came against England skipper Ben Stokes, was caught by Woakes, leaving England just one good ball away from the win.

Ex-India coach, under whom team attained number 1 Test ranking, questions Jadeja's intent after Lord's Loss

In cricket and life, some moments stay forever in your heart. For Mohammed Siraj, one such joyful memory was at Lord’s in 2021, stump in hand, sprinting across the field after castling the off-stump of England’s James Anderson to seal a famous 151-run win on day 5. Fast forward to July 14, 2025, at the same iconic venue and that very stump became a symbol of heartbreak. India needed 23 more runs. Siraj was putting up a brave fight with the bat and was doing everything right for India. He had defended like a textbook tailender, blocking, ducking and surviving.&nbsp;But fate had other plans. An off-spin delivery from Shoaib Bashir gripped and back-spun to dislodge the stump, the same one Siraj had once uprooted in glory. The heartbreak was instant. Siraj dropped to his knees, questioning his luck as the dream was over.&nbsp;Also Read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/from-car-accident-to-creating-history-when-life-bowled-a-bouncer-rishabh-pant-hit-a-century-1750762288365">From car accident to creating history - When life bowled a bouncer, Rishabh Pant hit a century</a>&nbsp;This wasn’t just another loss. It was a brave fight put up by the Indian tailenders; at lunch on the final day, they were reeling at 112/8. However, Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj stitched together a fightback, taking the score to 170. Victory was 23 runs away, but that just wasn't meant to be; God was kinder to England and fortune didn't favour the brave.<h2>Parallels from 2021 Lord's Test</h2>The parallels with the 2021 Test match at Lord's were strange. Back then, India was 209 for 8 before Shami and Bumrah’s unbeaten 89-run stand for the ninth wicket turned the match. Siraj did wonders with the ball: a four-wicket haul and that iconic celebration, stump in hand, Kohli roaring all over the place. He had taken eight wickets in the game, including the final blow that guided India to defend 272 in 60 overs.&nbsp;Now, in 2025, the hope of winning the game lay in the hands of Indian tail-enders. Bumrah and Siraj blocked 84 deliveries together and the Indian side was hoping for a miracle. However, Bashir found just enough from the pitch to break through and shatter the Indian dreams.&nbsp;It’s strange how the same place can give you everything once and take it all away the next time. In 2021, Siraj walked off with the stump in hand and a smile at Lord’s. In 2025, he walked off again, but this time, head down, the same stump lying behind him.&nbsp;&nbsp;In the end, cricket is the best leveller, bringing you up one day and down the next.

In 2021, Siraj sealed a historic win at Lord’s with the stump in hand. In 2025, at the same ground, that stump became a symbol of heartbreak as he was bowled with 23 runs to win. From glory to grief, Siraj lived both highs and lows at the Home of Cricket.

India vs England Lord's Test 2025 will always be remembered for Ravindra Jadeja's defiant 61 not out, Jasprit Bumrah's heartbreaking pull shot and Mohammed Siraj down his haunches after the unluckiest dismissal of all time. But when Siraj defended the final ball which undone him, he joined an elite list as a batter at number 11. The emotional pacer had played 30 balls in his innings - joint-second most for India in fourth innings of a Test. He's only behind Ashish Nehra who had played 54 balls during the 2002 Lord's Test - also in a loss.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/who-is-liam-dawson-england-recall-forgotten-spinner-to-replace-lords-hero-shoaib-bashir-1752583610976">England recall FORGOTTEN spinner to replace Lord's hero Shoaib Bashir</a>Along with Siraj, BS Chandrasekhar and SLV Raju had also played 30 balls in fourth innings of a Test for India vs England and West &nbsp;Indies in Birmingham (1967) and Mohali (1994), respectively.

Team India suffered a heartbreaking defeat in the Lord’s Test match on Monday (July 14) after the visitors were bowled out for 170 runs in the second innings. Losing by a narrow 22-run margin, former India cricketer and World Cup winner Sunil Gavaskar highlighted the key reason for the visitor’s defeat.

It was a day to forget for West Indies after the hosts were bowled out for a below-par score of 27 in the second innings of the third Test match against Australia on Monday (July 14). And one of the major reasons for the destruction was Aussie speedster Mitchell Starc, who bagged the fastest five-wicket haul in Test cricket while playing at Sabina Park in Jamaica. Starc also added another feather to his hat, completing 400 wickets in Test cricket.&nbsp;<h2>Starc demolished West Indies batting attack</h2>Playing in his milestone 100th Test match, Starc and Co were tasked to defend 204 runs to win the match when the onslaught started.

It was a day to forget for West Indies after the hosts were bowled out for a below-par score of 27 in the second innings of the third Test match against Australia on Monday (July 14). And one of the major reasons for the destruction was Aussie speedster Mitchell Starc, who bagged the fastest five-wicket haul in Test cricket while playing at Sabina Park in Jamaica. Starc also added another feather to his hat, completing 400 wickets in Test cricket. Starc demolished West Indies batting attack Playing in his milestone 100th Test match, Starc and Co were tasked to defend 204 runs to win the match when the onslaught started. He scalped John Campbell first ball, the fourth time in his career he had struck with the opening delivery of an innings to begin on an excellent note.

Shoaib Bashir was ruled out of the remainder of Englands series against India less than an hour after taking the match-clinching wicket in the third Test at Lords on Monday.

Shoaib Bashir was ruled out of the remainder of England's series against India less than an hour after taking the match-clinching wicket in the third Test at Lord's on Monday. The 21-year-old off-spinner spent much of the match off the field with a fracture to his little left finger -- on his non-bowling hand -- after dropping a hard-hit return catch from Ravindra Jadeja in India's first innings. He returned to dismiss Mohammed Siraj after tea on Monday's final day when India's last man played a defensive shot only for the ball to trickle back onto his leg stump as England won a thrilling encounter by 22 runs. Victory left England 2-1 up in this five-match series but they are now set to call-up a new specialist spinner for the fourth Test at Old Trafford starting on July 23. The likes of Liam Dawson and Jack Leach are vying to fill the gap left by Bashir's absence. Bashir's place in the team has been called into question recently, with his 10 wickets in three Tests against India this series coming at an expensive average of over 54.

Mitchell Starc reached the landmark of 400 Test wickets and Scott Boland completed a hat-trick but the hosts just avoided New Zealands record low of 26, set in 1955.

Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc produced a devastating opening spell as the West Indies were demolished for 27, the second-lowest score in Test history, to suffer a humiliating 176-run defeat on the third day of the third and final game at Sabina Park on Monday. Australia swept the series 3-0 after earlier victories in Barbados and Grenada to retain the Frank Worrell Trophy. Mitchell Starc reached the landmark of 400 Test wickets and Scott Boland completed a hat-trick but the hosts just avoided New Zealand's record low of 26, set in 1955. "We didn't think things would start going our way with the ball today until the sun went down a bit," Starc said after collecting the player of the match and series awards. "But anyway our bowling attack has been pretty much on the money throughout the series," he added. West Indies captain Royston Chase warned his side must improve with the first of five T20 internationals on Monday. "Assessing this series is simple: the bowlers kept us in the contest and the batting let us down time after time," he said. "We need to put in some serious work on our batting moving forward if we really want to compete," he added. West Indies were set a victory target of 204 after the tourists lost their last four wickets within 45 minutes of the start of play to be dismissed for 121 in the second innings, their lowest Test innings total against the West Indies for 30 years. Alzarri Joseph led the effort with his best Test innings figures of five for 27 while Shamar Joseph claimed four for 34 to finish with 22 wickets in the series and go past the 50-wicket mark in Tests along the way. Everything else in the frenetic first session faded into irrelevance though in the face of Starc's wrecking ball-type performance as he reached the break with figures of five for six off five overs, finishing with six for nine when he bowled last man Jayden Seales half an hour into the second session to seal the win. In his 100th Test, the left-armer made up for a luckless first innings, when he picked up just one wicket, by dismissing John Campbell with the first ball of the second innings and adding two more victims –- debutant Kevlon Anderson and Brandon King off successive balls -- before the opening over was completed. Starc's 400th wicket came at the start of his third over when the other opener, Mikyle Louis, was palpably leg-before. ALSO READ | In series dominated by batters, Indian bowlers achieve RARE Test record first time since 1955 At that stage, the West Indies were five for four and Starc boasted the astonishing figures of four wickets for no runs. The 35-year-old eventually conceded two runs via the outside edge of Shai Hope's bat but then promptly trapped the same batsman lbw for his fifth wicket. He had taken just 15 deliveries, the fewest ever in Test history, to complete a five-wicket haul. Skipper Chase was then caught behind off Josh Hazlewood to make the score an eye-popping 11 for six. Boland then stole the honours at the start of the second session when he dismissed Justin Greaves, Shamar Joseph and Jomel Warrican off successive deliveries to complete the rare feat of a Test hat-trick. "I was a bit nervous bowling that last ball (to Jomel Warrican)," Boland said. "I was just trying to concentrate and keep bowling balls in good areas," he added. Australia were without first-choice wicketkeeper Alex Carey, who suffered a concussion when hit on the helmet by Alzarri Joseph late on day two. Josh Inglis replaced him behind the stumps.

Shortly after India narrowly lost the Lord’s Test by 22 runs, captain Shubman Gill dropped an update on Rishabh Pant’s availability for the next Test at Old Trafford in Manchester, starting Wednesday (Jul 23). Pant suffered an injury to his index finger while keeping during England’s first innings, sitting out for the rest of the game while fielding as India roped in Dhruv Jurel as his replacement. Pant, however, batted in both innings with an injured hand. With England using the advantage of it, bowling mid-leg line throughout the second inning, Indian fans wonder if Pant will be deemed fit in time for the fourth Test.&nbsp;During the post-match presser, Gill revealed that Pant 'should be fine' in time for the fourth Test against England after scans revealed ‘no major injury’ to the index finger of his left hand, per the latest reports. &nbsp;Meanwhile, during the 34th over of England’s first innings, Pant dived to his left to save a ball from going to the boundary, only for that to hit the index finger of his left hand and injure it.

England triumphed over India in the third Test of this five-match Anderson-Tendulkar series at the Lord’s, taking a 2-1 lead. The hosts defended an under-par total of 192 on day five, dismissing India on 170 to win the match by 22 runs. Captain Ben Stokes stood out with the ball in hand, picking up three wickets, the same as Brydon Carse, with the returning Jofra Archer hogging all the limelight with his impactful dismissals, including removing two attacking batters in Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant in the second innings.

Down to Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah, the pair gave the toughest fight to the Poms, forcing them to use every tactic under their sleeve. However, after more than an hour-long battle, Stokes removed Bumrah off a bouncer on five off 54 balls, leaving Jadeja with Mohammed Siraj. The pair showed resistance till the end, especially Jadeja, who batted across two sessions to keep India’s hopes alive. On the other hand, Siraj pushed above this weight with the bat, playing 30 balls for his incredible four, only to get out to injured Shoaib Bashir in an unlucky manner. Siraj’s dismissal broke a million hearts as India lost the game inside the final session. For England, winning here at Lord’s just six years after they won their maiden ODI World Cup in 2019 makes it more special for the hosts.

Jadeja stood there like a wall but failed to prevent a heartbreaking loss at the Lord's, as England won the match in the final session.&nbsp;

IND vs ENG: Jadeja the hero for India but England win Lord’s nail-biter, lead series 2-1

When India lost skipper Shubman Gill on day 4 (Jul 13) of the third Test against England at Lord's, Akash Deep came out batting hurriedly instead of Rishabh Pant. The wicketkeeper-batter, having injured his finger in the first innings of the match, did not come out to bat for whole another reason as per former India bowler Ravi Ashwin. The former spinner revealed that Pant doesn't like to bat in the last half an hour so and that's the reason he didn't come to bat.Also Read - <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/under-par-stokes-while-batting-first-time-as-skipper-now-struggling-in-second-attempt-as-well-1752481716160">Under par Stokes while batting first time now struggling in 2nd attempt as well</a>“Rishabh does not like batting in the last 30-40 minutes of the day. That’s why they sent Akash Deep. But see, it is about protecting your best batter, yes. But when you send a batter like Akash Deep and then he gets out, it puts you in even more of a situation. When we were playing against New Zealand, the same thing happened. When Virat Kohli got out, Rishabh was not in a mood to go out. Then we had to Siraj. And when he got out, again a proper batter had to go out," Ashwin said on his podcast after the fourth day's play.“I’ll tell you a story. Remember that Test match in Mirpur when India were chasing some 140 runs to win? So I was sitting and relaxing in the dressing room after bowling. It was all hot and humid. I was sitting next to the analyst and Rahul Dravid (head coach) was there a little further. After we lost the first two wickets, Rishabh said ‘main nahi ja raha batting karne’ (I am not going out to bat) to Rahul (Dravid). There was a good 30-40 minutes left. But he said I am not going. When the next wicket fell and the No. 4 batter was supposed to go in, he went inside and they had to send Axar Patel first, I guess, and then Jaydev Unadkat to go in as the nightwatchman," he also shared.Pant, who came to bat on day 5 (Jul 14), could manage only nine runs of 12 balls before being bowled by Jofra Archer.
