An exceptional partnership of 141 runs between KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant took India's total inch closer to England's score of 387 as the visitors finished the first session of the Lord's Test on Day 3 at 248/4 on Saturday.

India pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah invoked laughter when a reporter's wife called as he recalled his most memorable moment and tackling with judgment during a press conference after the end of the second day's play in the third Test against England at Lord's.
