England India Daily, 3rd Test, Lord’s Review: It was a hot one at Lord’s, with the old-fashioned ebb and flow Test match returning. After what was essentially a two-day shootout, the result was a new record for Lord’s. Jofra Archer also broke records, but what is his career trajectory? As for
longevity, will Ben Stokes’ herculean efforts come back to haunt him? For India, will Ravindra Jadeja regret not pushing for more runs throughout his lengthy stay? Is this now completely Ben Stokes’ team? Has Brendon McCullum now taken a backseat? Throwing forward, the long-awaited return of Liam Dawson to the Test arena for Old Trafford. Who does India choose for the fourth Test, and why do they seem to lose when Jasprit Bumrah plays? India has won the days, but England has won the moments. Daniel Norcross joins Cameron Ponsonby.
