THE TIMES OF INDIA | Jul 10, 2025, 12:55:37 IST
India vs England Live Score, 3rd Test Day 1: Shubman Gill-led India will take on Ben Stokes' England in the third Test of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at the iconic Lord's.
The series is currently levelled at 1-1. England won the first Test at Headingley by five wickets, chasing 371 runs on the final day. India bounced back in style at Edgbaston, hammering a hapless England by 337 runs.
England have made one change to their playing XI, bringing in speedster Jofra Archer, who is making his comeback to Test cricket after a four-year gap. Meanwhile, India welcome back their World No. 1 fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who missed the second Test due to workload management.
The pitch at Lord's is expected to be a green top. After the loss at Edgbaston, England coach Brendon McCullum and captain Ben Stokes had attributed their defeat to a surface they described as "subcontinent-like," suggesting it favoured the Indian pacers. But on a livelier Lord's wicket — and with Bumrah back — India's pace attack could be just as lethal.

India (Predicted) XI: Yashasvi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, Karun Nair, Shubman Gill (c), Rishabh Pant (wk), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Akash Deep, Mohammed Siraj, Jasprit Bumrah
England XI: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Harry Brook, Ben Stokes (c), Jamie Smith (wk), Chris Woakes, Brydon Carse, Jofra Archer, Shoaib Bashir.

IND vs ENG Live Score: England playing XI
Jofra Archer will make a comeback into England's Test team after a gap of four years at Lord's on Thursday. England have announced their playing XI for the third Test match. Archer will replace Joshua Tongue in the XI. After playing one first-class match for Sussex, where he bowled 18 overs, Archer was included in England's Test team. Archer took 42 wickets at an average of 31.04 in the 13 Tests he played between 2019 and 2021, before persistent elbow and back injuries kept him out of action for 18 months. Former captain Michael Vaughan has warned England not to expect too much from Jofra Archer.
