By Ed Osmond LONDON (Reuters) -England stayed calm under intense pressure to beat India by 22 runs on a final day of simmering tension and drama in the third test at Lord's on Monday and move 2-1 up in the series.

As the tourists reduced their deficit to 81, England were in need of a wicket. It came on the stroke of lunch, Chris Woakes finding Reddy’s edge to end a 30-run stand that had lasted 14.5 overs. An English victory now appeared certain. But with Jadeja digging in alongside Jasprit Bumrah, India were edging back into it.
