Follow UsThe third Test between India and England at Lord’s is evenly poised after the end of Day 3, July 12 (Saturday). England are leading by just two runs with all 10 wickets intact, and two days of action still remain.

72.3 overs on Day 2
77.2 overs on Day 3
There hasn't been a single drop of rain so far in this Test, yet not once have we seen the full quota of 90 overs bowled in a day. In fact, the last two days have each had fewer than 80 overs of action.
Don’t be surprised if we see a repeat on Day 4. The slow over rate has been a persistent issue this entire tour.
