Ben Stokes let out a fierce roar as he clean bowled Akash Deep in the final session of Day 4, ending the day on a high for England and shifting the momentum dramatically in their favour at Lord’s. The England skipper`s timely strike capped a spirited comeback from the hosts, who now have India under significant pressure heading into the final day of the third Test.

Chasing a modest but tricky 193 for victory, India closed the day on 58 for 4, still 135 runs adrift of the target. While KL Rahul stood firm at the crease with an unbeaten 33, the collapse around him has left the visitors in a precarious position with just six wickets in hand.

India’s chase started on a shaky note. Jofra Archer, generating pace and lift from the surface, drew first blood by dismissing Yashasvi Jaiswal early. The blow rattled the top order, and England pounced on the opportunity. Brydon Carse then delivered a fiery spell, removing Karun Nair and the in-form Shubman Gill in quick succession. With the top order dismantled, the responsibility fell to Rahul and debutant Deep to weather the storm.
