Indian opener KL Rahul scored his 10th Test century in style, but was removed shortly after achieving the milestone on Day 3 of the third Test at Lord’s in the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2025. Rahul’s century was his second at Lord’s, cementing his place on the Honours Board at the Home of Cricket in London.
The dismissal happened on the opening delivery of the 68th over, bowled by England’s spinner Shoaib Bashir. Bashir tossed out a flighted delivery, inviting Rahul to drive. Rahul pushed at the ball too hard, causing it to drop in front of him before carrying to Harry Brook at first slip for a simple catch. Rahul’s expression showed regret as he walked back after a brave three-figure performance.

The third Test remains finely poised, with India behind by more than 100 runs (at the time of writing) in response to England’s first-innings total of 387. Joe Root led the way for the hosts with a calm 104, while Jamie Smith (51) and Brydon Carse (56) contributed important runs in the lower middle order.
The Shubman Gill-led side’s bowling effort was led by Jasprit Bumrah, who destroyed England’s batting line-up and finished with 5 for 74. Nitish Kumar Reddy and Mohammed Siraj each took two wickets to help England finish the first innings.
In retaliation, the visiting team lost Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, and Karun Nair on Day 2. On the morning of Day 3, Rahul and Rishabh Pant revived the innings with a powerful 144-run partnership for the fourth wicket. Pant batted aggressively for 74 runs before being dismissed by England captain Ben Stokes’ superb direct hit just before lunch. Rahul’s century was the highlight of India’s innings, but his removal shortly after reaching the milestone has left the visitors with work to do.
