Shubman Gill was “extremely proud” of the fight his team put up after being down and out, but rued the absence of at least one significant partnership and Rishabh Pant’s first innings run-out in their 22-run defeat to England in the third Test at Lord’s.

Ravindra Jadeja fought gamely with a dogged unbeaten 61 off 181 balls and nearly took India home with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj before the team got all out for 170.

“Extremely proud. It was as close a Test match as it can get, played over five days and it comes down to the last session. I was pretty confident of our chances with plenty of batting left. We needed a couple of 50-run partnerships, but weren’t able to get that,” Gill said after the defeat.
