Tim Southee, England's bowling coach, lauded the initial days of the third Test at Lord's against India, describing them as reminiscent of classic cricket with a commendable sportsman spirit. England, led by Ben Stokes, holds a narrow two-run lead, setting the stage for an exciting conclusion.

As Day 3 drew to a close, England stood at 2/0, with Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett at the crease. Despite a small lead, both teams showcased endurance and skill, a testament to the series' intensity. Southee anticipated a critical showdown ahead, given the heat and potential pitch deterioration.

The riveting contest saw KL Rahul's century and Ravindra Jadeja's 72 enable India to match England's first-innings total of 387. The hosts initially posted the same, powered by Joe Root's century and strong lower-order contributions. As clouds hover over the outcome, cricket fans await a captivating conclusion.
