At the End of Day 4 at Lord’s Test, India at 58/4 — Needs 135 More Runs for Victory
At stumps on Day 4 of the Lord’s Test, India is 58 for 4, chasing a target of 193 runs. The match is evenly poised, with India needing 135 more runs and England requiring 6 wickets to win.
This makes it a challenging and crucial final day ahead for England, defending a modest target. After Indian bowlers earlier claimed 14 wickets in a gripping England collapse, the tables turned dramatically in the final session. A potent mix of Jofra Archer, Brydon Carse, and Ben Stokes exerted relentless pressure on India’s middle order. For India, the presence of KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant at the crease is seen as a significant advantage.
Lord’s pitch, once a bedding ground for spin, began showing variable bounce and seam movement, making batting a perilous endeavour. England tuned their attack to stem the flow of Indian runs
It’s worth noting that the Anderson–Sachin Trophy series is currently level, with both teams having won one match each.
