Rishabh Pant silences Ben Duckett with savage reply at Lord’s
In a single line, the Indian wicketkeeper silenced the English opener. Pant was caught simply saying, “Yeah, just like you.” Pant reminded Duckett of how he and Zak Crawley had batted cautiously on Day 1, scoring only 39 runs in the first 13 overs, just opposite to England’s usual aggressive Bazball style.

Ben Stokes targets Rishabh Pant with short-ball trap, ends gritty knock with stunning run-out
Meanwhile, Ben Stokes came up with a clever plan to test Pant’s patience and pain on the morning of Day 3 at Lord’s. With a packed leg-side field—two fine legs, a deep square leg, and a deep mid-wicket, along with two more inside the circle—Stokes launched a barrage of short balls aimed right at Pant's body.
Pant was already dealing with pain in his left index finger, and Stokes tried to make the most of that. Every ball was short and sharp, aimed at the upper body, head, ribs, and armpits. Pant grimaced often, shaking his head and flexing his hand, but never backed down. Instead, he counterattacked with fearless strokes, but eventually, the England captain was successful.
Stokes, standing at cover, spun around and fired a direct hit at the non-striker’s end to catch Pant well short of his crease. Pant made 74 runs off 112 balls, laced with eight boundaries and two sixes, and added 141 runs with Rahul for the fourth wicket against England at Lord’s.
