England Edge India by 22 Runs in Lord’s Thriller to Lead Series

England’s win gives them a 2-1 lead in the Anderson–Tendulkar Trophy with momentum heading into the fourth Test at Old Trafford.

Jubilation and despair in one frame. A highly unfortunate end to a match that will be remembered as a classic, as Mohammed Siraj played one that trickled onto his own stumps. A 22-run for England that not many will soon forget.
