Lords Test Thriller: Victory Inches Away Now!
England needs 6 wickets, India 135 runs on Day 5……
The iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground is set for a nail-biting finish as the India vs. England Test match heads into its final day. At stumps on Day 4, India stands at 123/4, still 135 runs away from victory, while England is just 6 wickets short of clinching a memorable win.
With 90 overs scheduled for the final day, the match is evenly poised. KL Rahul remains unbeaten on 33, showing remarkable patience and grit. Alongside him is all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who holds the key to anchoring the lower order. India’s middle and lower-order batters must now rise to the occasion against a disciplined English bowling attack.
The fourth day saw momentum shift both ways. India lost early wickets as Shubman Gill and Rohit Sharma fell cheaply, putting pressure on the visitors. Virat Kohli looked fluent during his 28-run knock but couldn’t convert it into a big score. England’s pace trio — James Anderson, Chris Woakes, and Ollie Robinson — bowled with control and purpose, constantly testing the Indian batters with swing and bounce.
Despite the odds, India’s hopes remain alive. The team has a history of pulling off stunning comebacks, and with batters like Jadeja and Rahul at the crease, the dream of a Lord’s victory isn’t far-fetched. However, England’s bowlers, buoyed by home support, will be eager to wrap up the remaining wickets and secure a series-defining win.
The Lord’s Test has lived up to its legendary status, providing four days of high-quality cricket and now setting the stage for an epic finale. Whether it ends in a historic Indian chase or an English triumph, one thing is certain — cricket fans are in for an unforgettable fifth day.
