India's narrow 22-run loss to England in the third Test at Lord’s has sparked debate over missed chances and sudden collapses. Former India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik, speaking on Sky Sports, offered a clinical post-mortem. He pointed to India’s dramatic first-innings stumble—from 376/6 to 387 all out—as the phase where momentum was lost. Karthik said on SkySports, "If you are going to judge the match based on what happened today (on Day 5 of Lord's Test), I think you are looking at the wrong side. You have got to look at 376-6 in the first innings to 387 all out. Again a bit of a mini-collapse. The catch that KL Rahul dropped, Jamie Smith on five." He added, "How much do those things matter to you? Those are the conversations you need to have. There were moments India could have gone ahead and couldn't for the third time this series." "You have to look at the whole Test, not what happened today..."Dinesh Karthik on why India came out on the losing side in the third Test 🔎 pic.twitter.com/jH8Zd1x11U — Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) July 14, 2025 Jamie Smith’s eventual 51 proved significant. Karthik noted that such small margins have cost India in all three matches of the series so far. Despite Ravindra Jadeja’s late resistance with Bumrah and Siraj, the visitors fell short while chasing 193.

Ahead of the game, England confirmed a squad change. Spinner Shoaib Bashir, injured during the third Test while fielding off his own bowling, has been replaced by Liam Dawson. Bashir suffered a fracture in his left hand while catching Ravindra Jadeja. Although he returned to bowl in India’s second innings, his injury worsened. Dawson, who last played a Test in 2017 against South Africa, steps in with seven wickets from three Tests. India, trailing in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, must regroup ahead of the pivotal Old Trafford clash starting on 23rd June.
