IND vs ENG 3rd Test

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 1 was not just another day of Test cricket — it turned into a historic evening for Joe Root, one of England’s finest batters. At the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground, Root etched his name into the history books by becoming the highest run-scorer across all formats at the venue, overtaking Graham Gooch’s long-standing record. Root’s unbeaten 99 at stumps was a masterclass in patience, technique, and temperament — qualities that have defined his decorated career. IND vs ENG 3rd Test

Root Surpasses Gooch to Reign Supreme at Lord’s

During his elegant knock against India, Joe Root surpassed Graham Gooch’s 2513 runs at Lord’s by taking his tally to 2526 runs across 33 matches. This feat makes Root the most prolific run-getter in Lord’s history, across formats — a massive achievement considering the number of cricketing greats who have graced the hallowed turf. IND vs ENG 3rd Test

First Batter to Score 3000 Runs vs India in Tests

Root didn’t stop there. With this innings, he also became the first player in Test history to score over 3000 runs against India, reaching a monumental 3054 runs in 33 matches. The record puts him in elite company alongside the likes of Sachin Tendulkar and Gary Sobers, the only others to score 3000+ in a non-Ashes rivalry.

103 Fifty-Plus Scores: Equaling Greats

Root’s knock at Lord’s also marked his 103rd fifty-plus score in Tests, tying him with Jacques Kallis and Ricky Ponting for second on the all-time list. Only Sachin Tendulkar leads with 119. Root’s numbers now stand at 36 centuries and 67 fifties, a testament to his incredible consistency. IND vs ENG 3rd Test

37th Century on the Horizon

Root finished Day 1 on 99 not out, just one run shy of what could be his 37th Test century. If he reaches the milestone on Day 2, he will move past Steve Smith and Rahul Dravid, becoming the fifth-highest century-maker in Test history. It would also mark his 55th international century, putting him level with Hashim Amla.

A Shift from Bazball: England Adopts Traditional Test Approach

The day’s play was not in line with England’s usual “Bazball” aggression. Winning the toss, Ben Stokes chose to bat — a rare decision under his leadership. The pitch at Lord’s offered assistance to the bowlers, and India’s disciplined bowling forced England to adopt a more traditional style, resulting in a run rate of just 3.02 across the 83 overs. IND vs ENG 3rd Test

India Begins Strong: Nitish Kumar Reddy Strikes Early

Young pacer Nitish Kumar Reddy gave India the perfect start, claiming two crucial wickets — Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley — in the morning session. His understanding of the Lord’s slope and ability to extract seam movement made a significant impact. IND vs ENG 3rd Test

Root and Pope Steady the Innings

After the early blows, Joe Root and Ollie Pope built a 109-run stand that brought some stability to England’s innings. Pope scored a patient 44 off 104 deliveries before he was dismissed by Ravindra Jadeja just after the tea break, ending what had been England’s best partnership of the day. IND vs ENG 3rd Test

Bumrah Dismisses Brook as India Fights Back

The pressure applied by India eventually yielded another breakthrough when Jasprit Bumrah bowled Harry Brook for 11. England, once at 152/2, slipped to 172/4, bringing Joe Root and Ben Stokes together at the crease.

Root-Stokes Partnership Builds Slowly But Steadily

With attacking options limited, Root and Stokes chose to play risk-free cricket, adding 50 runs in 100 balls before stumps. The focus shifted to survival and consolidation rather than dominance, as India’s bowlers stuck to tight lines and lengths on a slightly two-paced surface. IND vs ENG 3rd Test

Record Books Rewritten at Lord’s

Root’s historic achievements were the highlight of a day that otherwise saw cautious cricket from England and disciplined play from India. The following records were either broken or extended:

  • ✅ Most runs at Lord’s across all formats – 2526*

  • ✅ First player to score 3000+ Test runs vs India – 3054*

  • ✅ 103 fifty-plus Test scores – Joint 2nd all-time

  • ✅ Approaching 37th Test ton – would move to 5th on all-time century list

  • ✅ Would equal Hashim Amla’s tally of 55 international hundreds

Looking Ahead: Can Root Complete His Century?

Root is now one run away from a personal milestone and potentially more history. With Ben Stokes settled and England at 251/4, the home side will hope to build a sizeable first-innings total. For India, the aim will be to strike early on Day 2 and gain momentum with the bat. IND vs ENG 3rd Test
