LONDON (Reuters) -India captain Shubman Gill said the finger injury suffered by Rishabh Pant in the third test against England is not overly serious and the wicketkeeper-batsman should be able to play in the next match in Manchester.

India captain Shubman Gill feels his deputy Rishabh Pant's dismissal on the stroke of lunch on day three proved to be costly as that had denied the visitors a chance to take a lead over England in the first innings of third Test at Lord's in London.

England beat India by 22 runs on the fifth day of the 3rd Test match; take a lead of 2-1 in the series. Team India skipper Shubman Gill said, “The most important moment for us was Rishabh Pant's run out.

This was a throwback of a last day when every wicket and run was eked out in front of a near full-house and the tension became unbearable

India’s hopes of winning their first Test series in England since 2007 took a huge blow when they lost by 22 runs at Lord’s. As a result, England now lead 2-1 with two games left. The fourth Test starts at Old Trafford on July 23 while the fifth and final game is at The Oval starting on July 31.
