That test was crazy... One of the best nail-biters of all time... Even if you try and watch highlights, you would love that game.

India's Lord's heartbreak hauntingly similar to Chennai 1999 vs Pakistan: 'Javagal Srinath there. Mohammed Siraj here'
India's heartbreak at Lord's likened to the 1999 Chennai Test vs Pakistan. Both matches saw the team coming close, still not going past the finishing line.
For all the fight shown by Ravindra Jadeja, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj in the Lord's Test against England, the result ended in a heartbreak as Ben Stokes' team registered a 22-run win to gain a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. Jadeja gave it all, and he led India's fightback in the 193-run chase despite the visitors being 112/8 at the lunch break on the final day. The left-handed batter remained unbeaten on 61, but in the end, he was unable to do anything as Mohammed Siraj lost his wicket to Shoaib Bashir, paving the way for a memorable England victory.
After the conclusion of the Lord's Test, former India Test captain Anil Kumble likened the contest to the 1999 Chennai Test between India and Pakistan, in which the former lost the match by 12 runs.
In the Chennai Test, Sachin Tendulkar led the fight for India, while at Lord's, it was Ravindra Jadeja. However, the efforts of both went in vain, as their teams weren't able to get past the finishing line. In the 1999 match, Javagal Srinath was the last one to lose his wicket, as he was bowled by Saqlain Mushtaq.
“I was just reminded of one Test match where we lost by 12 runs against Pakistan in Chennai. It was a similar kind of discussion. Javagal Srinath, there and here it's Mohammed Siraj. Just enough on the ball to dislodge that bail,” said Kumble while a discussion on JioHotstar.

Chennai test match is a permanent scar, Lords not so, Eng won the game fair and square..
Moin Khan cheated, taking the greatest bumped catch of all time along with SRTs brain fade at the end as he just wanted to finish the match of being careless was too painful even to this day...
