England Cricket Team vs India National Cricket Team Match Scorecard: KL Rahul remained unbeaten on 98 as India reached 248 for 4 at lunch on the third day of the third Test against England at Lord’s on Saturday. Rahul and Rishabh Pant resumed the innings at 145 for 3 and batted with control and fluency through the morning session. The duo reduced the first-innings deficit to 139 runs after England were bowled out for 387 on Day 2.

Pant looked in fine form and reached his half-century with a powerful hook shot for six off Ben Stokes. He was eventually run out for 74 by the England captain just before the lunch interval. Rahul played a composed knock that featured elegant drives and wristy flicks. His standout shot was a backfoot punch square of the wicket off Brydon Carse, drawing applause from the Lord’s crowd.

India will look to close the gap further and build a first-innings lead when play resumes after lunch. Rahul remains just two runs short of what would be a well-deserved century.
