Stuart Broad slams Yashasvi Jaiswal for England’s comeback in ENG vs IND 2025 3rd Test

Former England fast bowler Stuart Broad lashed out at Yashasvi Jaiswal for playing a bad shot in the second innings of the third Test match at Lord’s when the visitors were chasing 193 runs for the win. Jaiswal received a jaffa from Jofra Archer in the first innings but the Indian opener played a poor shot in the second dig.

The left-hander was dismissed for a seven-ball duck when he looked to play a predetermined pull shot to a wide delivery against Jofra Archer. All Jaiswal could manage was a top-edge, which was taken comfortably by England wicket-keeper Jamie Smith.

“In a low chase, when you are defending, if you come to bowl and you’ve got a Sehwag, Warner, the opening batters that can take the game away from you and they up 60 for none or one off ten, the game is sort of done. So Jaiswal getting out, really bad shot, I’m surprised he just didn’t look to cut it over the off-side, suddenly England are like okay, we are in. He is the player who moves the scoreboard forward,” Broad said on ‘For The Love Of Cricket’ podcast.

“As soon as Karun Nair came in, he is someone who plays each ball on merit, then England could control it and set attacking fields, create pressure. So I thought that was a really big moment. England making that breakthrough early, Jaiswal gone,” he added.

India lost four wickets on the fourth day’s play as Karun Nair, Shubman Gill and nightwatchman Akash Deep were also dismissed.

Meanwhile, Jadeja played a fighting knock of 61 runs off 181 balls and England’s white-ball wicketkeeper Jos Buttler highlighted that hosts had to play a waiting game with the all-rounder at the crease.

“It is incredibly frustrating as a fielding side. You’re like how do we get six balls out of the non-recognized batter. But then if you did bring the field up and Jadeja went four, four or four, six and suddenly scrambled one off the next ball, its a lot of runs. So England played the patient game. You genuinely believe that we will get this, our chance will come. We will get our chance to win the game but there is that guy on your shoulder,” he said.

The fourth Test match between England and India will be played at Emirates Old Trafford, Manchester, from July 23 onwards.
