India 2nd inns 58-4 (17.4 ovs); Target 193 | Scorecard

Welcome to the coverage of the fifth and final day of the third Test between England and India at Lord's, on Monday.

The Test match is set for a thrilling finish with both teams in the hunt for victory.

A fired-up England staged a late comeback to reduce India to 58/4 after they were set 193 for victory in a highly-charged final session on day four on Sunday.

England fast bowler Jofra Archer dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck, Brydon Carse removed Karun Nair and Shubman Gill, and captain Ben Stokes bowled nightwatchman Akash Deep in the final over to set up a thrilling last day.

India's hopes will rest largely on the in-form K L Rahul, who will resume on 33. It will be interesting to see if Rishabh Pant continues to bat in his normal aggressive fashion or looks to play out the first hour and build a partnership Rahul.

India need another 135 runs to go 2-1 up in the series after they had dominated the morning session on Day 4.

The Indian camp is confident of chasing down the runs on the final day.

"India will win, probably just after lunch," Washington Sundar said.

"The position we're in we'd have definitely taken. The fast bowlers kept the pressure on throughout the day, it was amazing."
