"Northern Superchargers batter Jemimah Rodrigues has unfortunately been forced to end her season in The Hundred due to injury." 

the tournament's official website said

Rodrigues, who was part of India's silver medal-winning side at the Birmingham Commonwealth Games. Meanwhile, she had earlier injured her wrist during a league stage match against Barbados at the quadrennial event. She finished as the fifth highest scorer in the CWG 2022 with 146 runs. 

The extent of the injury is not known yet. The Indian team would hope Rodrigues recovers in time for the away series against England next month. India and England are scheduled to play a white-ball series comprising three T20Is and as many ODIs, starting September 10.

In The Hundred, the 21-year-old Rodrigues smashed 51 off 32 balls in Superchargers' opener against Oval Invincibles in a losing cause before making two in the next match against London Spirit. The Indian batter has been replaced by Ireland's Gaby Lewis.

Superchargers' campaign began with a nine-wicket defeat to the Invincibles last week but they bounced back in their second game, beating London Spirit by five runs in Leeds. She was the top scorer for the Superchargers last year.

ENG vs IND 3rd Test: England Playing XI for Lord’s Test announced

ENG vs IND 3rd Test: England Playing XI for Lord’s Test announced

A day before the third match of the ENG vs IND Test series, the England cricket team unveiled its playing XI for the historic match to be held at Lord's.

After the crushing defeat in the Edgbaston Test against Team India, the England cricket team is looking quite restless and troubled. After such a bad defeat at home, Ben Stokes' team is hoping to take the lead in the series again.

Archer made comeback after 4 years

For this, captain Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum have taken a big decision. England has announced the playing XI for the ENG vs IND third match of the Test series starting on Thursday July 10 at Lord's and one change has been made in it. After a gap of 4 years, star fast bowler Jofra Archer returned to the Test playing 11.

After the defeat in the Edgbaston Test, it was believed that there would be a change in the playing XI but there was curiosity about which player would return. Apart from Archer, England also had the option of Gus Atkinson. While Archer was returning to Test cricket after a long time, Atkinson was injured in the month of May and was recalled to the squad only for the Lord's Test.

The pair of Stokes and McCullum decided to give preference to Archer's fast speed and ability to get bounce for this test. With this, Archer is making a comeback in Test cricket after about 4 years and 5 months. Coincidentally, his last Test match was also against Team India, when he was part of the Ahmedabad Test in February 2021.

Tongue out of the Playing XI

The surprising thing is that the bowler in whose place Archer was selected in the playing XI has taken the most wickets in the ENG vs IND series so far. The English team has decided to exclude young pacer Josh Tongue from the Lord's Test.

Tongue has taken the most wickets in this series so far, 11. However, one reason for this is his lack of control over line-length, due to which he was proving to be quite expensive.

Most Test Wickets Taken by Indian Bowlers at Lord's

India beat hosts England by 336 runs in the second Test to level the five-match Test series 1-1. When news emerged that Jasprit Bumrah will not be playing the second Test at Edgbaston, team India were written off completely, with pretty much everyone expecting England to maul them and go 2-0 up. However, in a twist that no one saw coming, it was India who ended up obliterating the hosts, hammering them on the back of an extraordinary performance.

As the Men in Blue moves to the hallowed turf of Lord’s for the third Test starting July 10, let's take a look at the most test wickets taken by Indian bowlers at Lord's.

Most Test Wickets Taken by Indian Bowlers at Lord's

The veteran cricketer, Kapil Dev doesn’t need any introduction. The World Cup-winning Indian skipper is counted amongst the greatest all-rounders in the history of the game. He was the country’s lead fast bowler during the late 90s.

Kapil Dev was successful not only in the sub-continent but also in SENA countries. He has an exceptional record at Lord’s Cricket Ground.

In just 4 Tests, Kapil Dev managed to claim 17 wickets and thus is the joint highest Indian wicket-taker at Lord’s. Overall, Kapil has 434 wickets in 131 Tests to his name, including 23 five-wicket hauls.

3. Ishant Sharma | 17 Wickets

Most Test Wickets Taken by Indian Bowlers at Lord's

At number three is Ishant Sharma, who is also the joint highest Indian wicket-taker at Lord’s. The 36-year old seamer has a pretty good record at Lord’s. He has 17 wickets to his name at Lord's. He had a memorable 7/74 at Lord's in 2014 which helped India to win a Test match at Lords' cricket ground for the first time since 1986.

4. Anil Kumble | 12 Wickets

Most Test Wickets Taken by Indian Bowlers at Lord's

India’s greatest spinner in the history of the game, Anil Kumble has the fourth most number of Test wickets by any Indian bowler at Lord’s. Given the fact that the spinners don’t usually get a lot of assistance from the English surfaces and still getting the fourth-most number of wickets is itself a big feat.

Anil Kumble has 12 wickets at Lord’s Cricket Ground. In his Test Cricket career, he has picked 619 wickets in 132 Tests, including 8 ten-wicket hauls. He is currently the highest wicket-taker for the national team in Test cricket.

5. Zaheer Khan | 11 Wickets

Most Test Wickets Taken by Indian Bowlers at Lord's

Hailed as arguably the best left-arm seamers that the nation has ever produced, Zaheer Khan has a great record to his name at Lord’s cricket ground. On swinging conditions in England, the Indian seamer would make batsmen’s life tougher by swinging the ball both ways. Besides, he was a master at reverse swing.

During his career, he played 13 Tests against England and picked 43 wickets at an average of 29.02. Of those 43, 11 wickets came at Lord’s cricket ground. Overall Zaheer Khan played 92 Tests in his international circuit and claimed 311 wickets at an average of 32.95.

Let's take a look at the detailed summary of the games played by different eras of both teams.

1932-1967: England dominated the early stages

The Indian team, led by C.K. Nayudu, faced a loss by 158 runs in their first match at Lord's against England. The English captain, Douglas Jardine, played a key role in securing this one, along with good team efforts.

Following the 1932 defeat, India lost 5 consecutive matches in the years: 1936, 1946, 1952, 1952, 1959, and 1957. They lacked consistency as a team and were unable to make things right again.

On the other hand, England dominantly made their mark at the iconic venue, winning matches by huge margins.

1971: A much-needed draw for India

After being defeated multiple times, and England acquiring the undefeatable title, India finally saw a ray of hope in 1971. This was the first time a match was drawn in the 39 years of defeats faced by India at Lord's.

Ajit Wadekar was captaining the Indian side during the tour, and he was also the highest-scoring batsman in the first innings. Bowlers like Srinivas Venkataraghavan, Bishan Singh Bedi, and Bhagwat Chandrasekhar brilliantly tackled the English line-up to secure this much-needed draw.

1974-1982: India's struggle to get a hold of momentum

After the draw in 1971, England shattered all the hopes of Indian fans with a huge victory in 1974. Batting first, ENG set a massive total of 629 runs, with the help of 3 centurions and 96 runs from John Edrich.

They bowled out India for 302 and 42 in the first and second innings (respectively) and sealed the win by an innings and 258 runs.

The year 1979 saw another draw between both teams. India's star player, Dilip Vengsarkar, smashed a century which saved India from the face of another defeat and also earned him the POTM title.

However, England kept coming back stronger after the drawn matches. Despite great efforts from Kapil Dev, who scored 41 & 89 runs in the match, and picked 8 wickets overall, India could not save the match in 1982.

India finally broke off their streak of defeat against England at Lord's in 1986, with their 5-wicket victory. Under the captaincy of Kapil Dev, India showcased a passionate gameplay and their desire to win. It was the first time in decades that they seemed to play as a team with extraordinary efforts.

A hundred from Vengsarkar, a half-century from Mohinder Amarnath, along wicket-taking spells of Chetan Sharma and the skipper were some vital performances that made a huge difference in the end.

1990-2011: England gains the upper hand once again

Between 1990 and 2011, England consistently avoided defeat against India. In the 5 matches played during this period, they secured 3 wins and 2 draws, ensuring India did not record a single victory.

In 2014, India achieved a 95-run victory over England at Lord's, marking their second win in the history of test rivalry against England at this venue. Led by MS Dhoni, the modern Indian side put up a compelling fight against the English giants.

Key performances included Ajinkya Rahane's 103 in the first innings (India 295, England 319), Murali Vijay's 95 in India's second innings (India 342), and Ishant Sharma's match-winning 7/74 that bowled England out for 223, clinching the win.

The 2018 Lord's test between India and England was a one-sided affair. After the rain-affected first day, India collapsed for just 107 in their first innings, largely due to James Anderson's 5/20.

England then posted a commanding 396/7 declared, with Chris Woakes scoring an unbeaten 137. In their second innings, Anderson continued his wicket-taking spells, picking up another 4. As a result, the struggling Indian side was bowled out for 130.

England secured a decisive victory by an innings and 159 runs.

The 2021 Lord's Test marked a historic triumph for India, under the phenomenal leadership of Virat Kohli. His passion and consistently backing his team up proved to be vital in turning the tide of a match that seemed to be slipping away.

The match was a rollercoaster of emotions. India's first innings saw a brilliant partnership between Rohit Sharma (scored 83 runs) and KL Rahul (scored 129 runs) that helped them reach a total of 364 runs. 

After England took a first-innings lead of 27 runs, India soared higher in the second innings, declaring at 298/8. The final day witnessed an extraordinary display of Indian fast bowling.

After a fiery spell from Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami, it was Mohammed Siraj, whose precise line and length ripped through England's batting line-up.

England were bowled out for just 120, handing India a memorable 151-run victory. With this victory, Kohli became the third Indian captain to achieve a Test win against England at Lord's, following the footsteps of Kapil Dev (1986) and MS Dhoni (2014).

India's thumping 336-run victory over England at Edgbaston has breathed fresh life into the five-Test series, now locked at 1-1. The third Test of the ongoing five-match series between India and England is scheduled to take place at Lord’s from July 10 to 14.

Before the start of the third test, let's have a look at the Best test bowling figure in an inning by any Indian bowler at Lord's.

Best test bowling figure in an inning by any Indian bowler at Lord's

1. Ishant Sharma | 7/74

Best test bowling figure in an inning by any Indian bowler at Lord's

Ishant Sharma put in one of the best exhibitions of short-ball bowling by an India fast bowler in the fourth innings of the Lord's Test in 2014. The lanky right-armer ran through England with figures of 7 for 74 to help the visitors record a famous win.

Ishant Sharma was India's hero at Lord's with a seven-wicket haul in the second innings. He cleaned up Ian Bell before inducing an outside edge from Alastair Cook’s blade with a beautiful outswinger. Sharma's brilliant spell turned the tables and India picked up a famous victory by 95 runs.

2. Amar Singh | 6/35

Best test bowling figure in an inning by any Indian bowler at Lord's

In the summer of 1936, the late Amar Singh registered his name on the iconic Lord’s Honours Board with a brilliant spell of 6 for 35, the second-best bowling figures by an India bowler in Tests on English soil.

After India were bundled out for 147 in their first innings, Amar Singh exploited the conditions as he ran through the English batting line-up.

The home team was bowled out for just 134, giving India an upper hand. His victims included Arthur Mitchell, Harold Gimblett, Maurice Turnbull, Maurice Leyland, Bob Wyatt, and skipper Gubby Allen. Though India couldn’t capitalize on this momentum and eventually lost the match, Singh’s performance is still one of the best on English soil.

3. Bhuvneshwar Kumar | 6/82

Best test bowling figure in an inning by any Indian bowler at Lord's

The 2014 Lord's Test remains one of India's most special wins in SENA countries, and they have much to thank veteran pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar for the triumph. After the first of the five Tests ended in a draw, India and England moved to the home of cricket for the all-important second Test.

On a green wicket, Team India huffed and puffed their way to a respectable 295 in their first innings. With the game hanging on a knife-edge, Bhuvi rattled the English top order by picking up the first three wickets in no time and reducing them to 70/3 in the 32nd over.

He returned to pick up his final three wickets later in the innings, including England's top-scorer, Gary Ballance, for 110, as India restricted England's first-innings lead to just 24. Bhuvneshwar finished with outstanding figures of 6/82 in 31 overs.

4. Bishan Bedi | 6/226

Best test bowling figure in an inning by any Indian bowler at Lord's

Legendary spinner Bishan Singh Bedi took 6/226 at the Lord's in 1974, getting his name etched on the Lord’s honors board.

On a tough pitch for bowlers, England opened the batting and quickly made a mark on the match with Dennis Amiss' century helping to post a score of 337-2 before Bedi even claimed his first wicket. His dismissal of John Edrich (96) and then Keith Fletcher gave India hope of trying to restrict England below 400. However, those hopes were quickly dashed when Mike Denness and Tony Greig both made centuries with England eventually talling a mammoth score of 629 all out.

Bedi was the only bowler of note to cause England any sort of trouble. In addition to his wickets of Edrich and Fletcher, Bedi also removed Denness, Alan Knott, Geoff Arnold and Derek Underwood to earn a spot on the Honours Boards. Bedi wouldn't have the opportunity to bowl again in the match, with England comfortably winning the Test by an innings and 285 runs.

5. RP Singh | 5/59

Best test bowling figure in an inning by any Indian bowler at Lord's

After picking up two wickets in the first innings, former left-arm pacer RP Singh produced an incredible five-wicket haul to prevent England from running away with the game in the second.

An incredible three-wicket spell from him saw England, who led by 97 after the first innings, slip from 102/2 to 132/5 in no time. Singh removed skipper Michael Vaughan, followed by Ian Bell and Paul Collingwood in a six-over stretch to bring India back into the contest.

However, Kevin Pietersen's scintillating 134 took the hosts to safety before Singh returned to remove him and Monty Panesar to complete his five-wicket haul. Nevertheless, his 5/59 in the second innings slowed England's innings enough for India to save the game on the final day.

MS Dhoni is the most successful Indian captain, who led them to win all the 3 major ICC titles during his tenure. From using his tactical brilliance under pressure to stepping up when the team needed him the most, this man has done it all!

The begining of Dhoni's captaincy era occured with a historic win in the inaugural season of T20 World Cup in 2007, where he stepped into the leadership role for the first time. And guess what, there was no looking back from that point.

Under his captaincy, India brought the ODI World Cup home after 28 long years in 2011, defeating Sri Lanka in a sensational final. He went on to win the 3rd trophy to fill his shining cabinet, with the 2013 Champions Trophy win.

Rohit Sharma, with his incredible captaincy skills, not only joined this elite list, but also climbed to the top in a very short period. He took over the charge in 2022 and started moving forward at a good pace.

In 2023, Rohit led India to the World Test Championship Final, as well as the ODI World Cup Final, but the results didn't go in their favour. However, the team bounced back the following year and won the T20 World Cup after dominating throughout the tournament.

India got back-to-back reasons to celebrate, as the team brought the 2025 Champions Trophy home as well! With this feat, Rohit became the first and the only captain to lead a team to all ICC tournament finals.

Rohit announced his retirement from T20Is (in 2024, after the WC win) and Test cricket (in 2025). He will continue to lead India in the ODI format, with his eyes fixated on the 2027 World Cup.

As the captain, he led India to reach the final of 2003 World Cup and 2000 Champions Trophy. The heroic moment arrived in 2002 Champions Trophy, when India performed excellently throughout and reached the finals to meet the host Sri Lanka.

The final match was washed out in Colombo, which led to the declaration of joint winners. However, this title marked India's first in the Champions Trophy, led elegantly by Ganguly.
