IND vs ENG 3rd Test, Day 3 Highlights: On the third day of the third Test being played at Lord's, India equaled England's first innings score of 387 runs. Thanks to KL Rahul's brilliant century, India equaled England's score by batting well in the first innings. During this, the India-England team has created history at Lord's.
In fact, this is only the 9th time in Test history that both the teams (IND Vs ENG 3rd Test) have scored the same score (India-England Identical Score Lord's) in their first innings. The first innings of the teams of India and England in the Lord's Test were limited to 387 runs, due to which the match has become completely balanced and the match has reached an exciting turn.
Talking about history, this score of 387 is the fifth largest equal score. There are 4 such scores bigger than this, when both the teams have scored even more equal scores in the first innings and all these four matches were draws.
Right in the balance ⚖

KL Rahul's brilliant century: After some setbacks at the start of the Indian innings, KL Rahul batted brilliantly to score his second Test century at Lord's. His class and restrained innings kept India in the match.
Rishabh Pant and Jadeja's important contribution: Rahul also got full support from Rishabh Pant (who batted bravely despite a finger injury) and Ravindra Jadeja. Both these players also scored half-centuries to bring India close to England's score.
Both teams tied: At the end of the day, the Indian team was all out for 387 runs in their first innings, which was exactly the same score as England had scored in their first innings. That is, both the teams were tied, which made the match even more interesting.
Last over drama: The biggest drama of the day was seen in the last over when England opener Zak Crawley tried to waste time so that India could not get a second over. Indian captain Shubman Gill got angry at this and there was a heated argument between the two. Gill's angry words were clearly heard on the stump mic, which created a stir on social media.
Always annoying when you can't get another over in before close ? pic.twitter.com/3Goknoe2n5
