LONDON (Reuters) -England beat India by 22 runs on an extraordinary final day of the third test at Lord's on Monday to move 2-1 ahead in the series. India were bowled out for 170 in their second innings.

India ultimately fell shot of the 193-run target "It was wonderful. England were superb. Led by Stokes, led by Archer. Passion, energy, getting stuck in - everything about the theatre of Test match cricket that we love.

For Stokes, whose team now take a 2-1 series lead into next week’s fourth Test in Manchester, this was the result of an astonishing feat of athleticism and endurance as he pushed himself through 19 lung-busting overs on this final day to inspire his team to a nerve-jangling 22-run win.
