IND vs ENG Highlights 3rd Test Day 2: Duckett's 133 not out helps England reach 207/2 at close of play

17:16 (IST)

That’s it from us in our coverage of Day 2 of the third Test in Rajkot, with the match very much in the balance at the moment following England’s fiery response with the bat in the evening session, powered by Ben Duckett’s unbeaten 133. Can the Englishmen eclipse India’s solid first innings total of 445? Or can Rohit Sharma and Co get rid of Duckett early on the ‘Moving Day’ and try and eke out a first innings lead, however slim it may turn out to be.

Join us tomorrow morning in our coverage of Day 3 to find out.

After 35 overs, England 207/2 (Ben Duckett 133, Joe Root 9)

STUMPS ON DAY 2 — Ravichandran Ashwin bowls out the final over of the day, conceding seven off it including a boundary to Root off the final delivery as England end the day on 207/2, trailing the hosts by another 238 runs with eight wickets in hand, scoring at nearly six-an-over.

What’s worse for the Indians is the fact that they burn a review for the second time today in the final over after a loud appeal for LBW against Duckett in the fourth delivery. Turns out the ball was pitching marginally outside off. Was a review more out of hope than anything else, given it was Duckett’s wicket that was on line. Will that come back to bite the Indians on the third day or not is something that remains to be seen.

After 34 overs, England 200/2 (Ben Duckett 131, Joe Root 4)

Bumrah is brought back shortly before stumps, with Rohit hoping for another wicket — preferrably that of Duckett — before the two teams head back to the hotel. Just three off Bumrah’s eighth over, including a brace to Root in the fourth delivery after he guides the ball behind square on the leg side. Siraj concedes just one in the following over, with Duckett retaining strike for what should be the final over of the day with a single off the last delivery. Also brings up the 200 in the process.

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 32 overs, England 196/2 (Ben Duckett 129, Joe Root 2)

SIX! Duckett gives the Indians a reminder of the fact that they are yet to dismiss him, and he continues to pose a massive threat to their hopes of going 2-1 up in this series. Duckett changes his stance in the blink of an eye and ends up switch-hitting Jadeja for a maximum over the cover fence. 11 off Jadeja’s fourth over with the left-arm spinner having conceded 33 so far today. Siraj keeps it tidy from the other end, conceding just three singles. Former captain Joe Root, meanwhile, joins Duckett at the centre and is off to a cautious start.

16:47 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 30 overs, England 182/2 (Ben Duckett 119, )

FOUR! Out comes the reverse sweep from Pope as he beats the fielder putting in a slide near backward point. Two balls later, it’s Duckett’s turn as he goes for a slog sweep behind square. What makes it worse is the fact that Patidar was standing at deep square and somehow didn’t notice. Siraj, however, brings the Indians back in the game by getting rid of Ollie Pope in the final delivery of a tidy over and breaking the 93-run second-wicket partnership in the process.

16:46 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

OUT! Superb review by the Indians after an unsuccessful LBW appeal by Siraj against Pope. The ball did hit the batter above the knee roll but Pope was on the backfoot at the same time. Skipper Rohit might have made the 'T' sign out of desperation, and would he be thankful for trusting his gut with this one as HawkEye would show the ball to be smashing into the leg stump.

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 28 overs, England 158/1 (Ben Duckett 108, Ollie Pope 32)

Change of ends for Jadeja as he replaces Bumrah, with Siraj likely to continue from the other end. FOUR! Pope brings up the 150 for the visitors with a paddle towards the fine leg fence off the first delivery. Pope then collects another boundary three balls later, this time with a ‘Dilscoop’ that sends the ball over the keeper’s head and away for a boundary. And if that’s not all, he collects a boundary off the final delivery of the following over, glancing at an inswinging delivery from Siraj towards fine leg.

16:12 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 26 overs, England 148/1 (Ben Duckett 106, Ollie Pope 20)

FOUR! Drilled down the ground off an overpitched delivery from Mohammed Siraj and that brings up a third Test hundred for Ben Duckett, in just 88 deliveries at that! The left-handed has stamped his authority on the Indian attack from the word go, collecting 20 boundaries and a six along the way. Follows it up with another four in the very next ball, pulling a short-of-length ball over square leg.

15:57 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 24 overs, England 138/1 (Ben Duckett 97, Ollie Pope 19)

After 23 overs, England 137/1 (Ben Duckett 97, Ollie Pope 18)

FOUR! What a shot by Duckett, as he drills an inswinging yorker from Bumrah down the ground to collect his 18th boundary and move to 97 in the process! Drinks brought to the field at the end of the 23rd over.

15:49 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 22 overs, England 131/1 (Ben Duckett 92, Ollie Pope 18)

India lose a review after an unsuccessful LBW appeal against Duckett in the final delivery of Bumrah’s fifth over. Was an inswinging yorker from Bumrah that the southpaw appeared to have brought his bat down to in the nick of time. Replays too show a big spike on UltraEdge at the time of the ball passing close to the bottom edge, though it hits the ground almost at the same time and that could’ve also contributed to the deflection. Good decision by umpire Dharmasena. SIX! FOUR! Duckett decides to get down on one knee and slog-sweep Ashwin for a maximum over deep midwicket. Ashwin responds by shortening his length next up, and the batter this time responds with a pull in front of square. Duckett nearly collects a hat-trick of boundaries after tickling the ball towards fine leg in the final delivery of the over, coming back for a third as some deft footwork by the chasing Jadeja helps save a run for the home team.

15:32 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 20 overs, England 115/1 (Ben Duckett 78, Ollie Pope 16)

Bumrah returns to the attack after an expensive opening spell in which he conceded 17 runs from three overs. FOUR! Pope greets the Indian pace spearhead at the start of a new spell with a boundary first up, drilling a full delivery down the ground past mid on. Pope keeps the strike with a single off the last delivery. FOUR! Duckett collects his 16th boundary with a pull down the ground off a short-of-length delivery from Ashwin. Single collected on either side of the boundary as England race to 115/1 at nearly six-an-over.

15:25 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 18 overs, England 104/1 (Ben Duckett 73, Ollie Pope 10)

Eight off Kuldeep’s sixth over, including a brace to Pope in the penultimate delivery after smashing the left-arm wrist spinner for a maximum in the first ball, bringing up the 100 for the visiting team in the process. FOUR! First boundary conceded by Ashwin as Duckett sweeps hard through the midwicket region.

15:20 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

SIX! Looks like the Englishmen wouldn’t stay quiet for long after Crawley’s dismissal, as Pope decides to charge down the ground and get to the pitch of the delivery to smash it over long on for a maximum — the first of the innings so far. ENG 93/1

15:18 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 16 overs, England 87/1 (Ben Duckett 69, Ollie Pope 2)

Ashwin’s dismissal of Crawley has an instant effect as Kuldeep bowls out a maiden after going for 34 runs in his first four overs of the day. Ashwin concedes a single each to Duckett and Pope from the other end.

15:16 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 14 overs, England 85/1 (Ben Duckett 68, Ollie Pope 1)

Just one run and a wicket from Ashwin’s second over, with new batter Ollie Pope getting off the mark with a single two deliveries after Ashwin gets rid of Crawley to join ‘Club 500’. A much-needed strike for the home team given the manner in which the opening pair were running away with the game.

15:11 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

OUT! WICKET NUMBER 500 FOR RAVICHANDRAN ASHWIN IN TEST CRICKET! Zak Crawley perishes while attempting to sweep the veteran off-spinner, getting a thick top-edge that results in a simple catch for Patidar at short fine. Ashwin not only breaks the fiery opening stand, he also ends up becoming only the ninth bowler in the history of Test cricket — as well as the fifth spinner and the second Indian bowler — to collect 500 or more wickets in the most elite format of them all!

FOUR! DOT! FOUR! Duckett continues to toy with Kuldeep, who might just get replaced after this over, having leaked 34 runs in four overs so far. Duckett races to 68 off 52 in T20-like fashion! ENG 89/0 after 13.

15:04 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 12 overs, England 79/0 (Zak Crawley 15, Ben Duckett 58)

Kuldeep concedes a boundary each to Duckett and Crawley, going for nine in his third over and having conceded 24 so far in the innings. While the former gets down on one knee to sweep towards deep midwicket, Crawley hammers the ball down the ground in the final delivery of the over. Ravichandran Ashwin replaces Siraj from the other end and concedes three in his first over, the first boundary-free over in this session so far.

14:55 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 10 overs, England 67/0 (Zak Crawley 11, Ben Duckett 50)

FIFTY up for Ben Duckett in just 38 deliveries, the southpaw collecting 11 boundaries en route to what is his eighth Test half-century and his first in the ongoing series. Another massive over from Siraj as he leaks 13 runs in his fifth over including three boundaries, two of them coming off Duckett’s bat. England race to 67 for no loss inside 10 overs.

14:49 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 9 overs, England 54/0 (Zak Crawley 7, Ben Duckett 41)

After 8 overs, England 48/0 (Zak Crawley 6, Ben Duckett 36)

FOUR! DOT FOUR! The boundaries keep flowing off Duckett’s bat as he collects two boundaries in a space of three deliveries from Siraj, who continues from one end on the other side of the interval. The southpaw drives the first delivery down the ground before smacking the next one through midwicket.8

14:44 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 7 overs, England 40/0 (Zak Crawley 6, Ben Duckett 28)

FOUR! FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries for Duckett right after the break as he smashes left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep for consecutive boundaries in the latter’s first over of the day. Both shots coming off sweeps.

14:42 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

The players make their way back to the centre after the tea interval, and as expected we see a spinner introduced on the other side of the interval. But it’s Kuldeep Yadav who is set to bowl the first over of the final session instead of Ravichandran Ashwin or Ravindra Jadeja. Interesting call from India skipper Rohit.

14:14 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 6 overs, England 31/0 (Zak Crawley 6, Ben Duckett 19)

FOUR! Duckett doesn’t spare Siraj either, punching a short, wide delivery from the seamer square of the wicket to collect his third boundary inside two overs. He’s assumed charge in this partnership so far, with Crawley happy to take his time at the other end right now.

Six runs conceded by Siraj in what is the final over of the session as England head to tea having collecting 31 runs without losing a single wicket, thanks to an attacking start from Duckett as well as five penalty runs awarded to the visiting team.

We’ll be back in 20 minutes’ time and might just witness the introduction of Ravichandran Ashwin on the other side of the interval.

14:09 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 5 overs, England 25/0 (Zak Crawley 5, Ben Duckett 14)

Crawley sets off for a single at the start of Bumrah’s third over. FOUR! Second boundary for Duckett in as many overs from Bumrah as he cuts a short, wide delivery from the lead Indian pacer behind point. Makes it two boundaries in the same over with a lovely drive through the cover region in the final ball of the over. Bumrah off to an expensive start today, leaking 17 runs in three overs.

14:06 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 4 overs, England 16/0 (Zak Crawley 4, Ben Duckett 6)

Tidy over from Siraj as he collects the first maiden of the innings, with Duckett blocking his way through the over. Siraj is also getting plenty of carry on what is a sporting Rajkot wicket.

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 3 overs, England 16/0 (Zak Crawley 4, Ben Duckett 6)

FOUR! First boundary of the English innings as Duckett decides to punch a short-of-length delivery from Bumrah in front of square. Fine stop by Kuldeep at square leg in the final delivery of the over after Duckett decides to go for an aerial drive in his direction, restricting the southpaw to just a single.

13:55 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 2 overs, England 11/0 (Zak Crawley 4, Ben Duckett 1)

Mohammed Siraj appears to have recovered from the physical discomfort in the hamstring area that had him hobbling shortly before the fall of the final Indian wicket. Ben Duckett, who’s on strike for the first time in this over, sets off for a single in the third delivery to get off strike. Crawley collects a brace right after with a drive, this time between extra cover and mid off. LBW appeal by Siraj in the fifth delivery but this one was easily missing leg. Another faint LBW appeal in the next ball, and this time Crawley appears to have got a thick inside edge.

13:51 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 1 over, England 8/0 (Zak Crawley 2, Ben Duckett 0)

Bumra starts off with two slips in place along with a gully, and starts off with a no ball, making it six runs on the board for the Englishmen without a ball bowled in the innings. Zak Crawley then collects the first runs off the bat with a brace in the third delivery, pushing the ball through the cover region.

13:48 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

England openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett make their way to the centre along with the Indian team, the visitors already having five runs on the board courtesy the penalty slapped on the Indian team for their batters running on the danger area multiple times. Jasprit Bumrah starts off with the new ball in hand. After his handy knock of 26, can he get an early wicket or two for the hosts?

13:37 (IST)

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 2 Live Score

After 130.5 overs, India 445 (Mohammed Siraj 3)

Bit of delay before the start of Wood’s second over of the new spell as Siraj needs a bit of spray on his right knee, where he got hit while attempting a reverse sweep off Hartley that led to the LBW appeal. FOUR! Bumrah heaves a pitched up delivery from Wood towards the vacant midwicket fence to collect his third four. Pushes for a second run in the following delivery and this time Siraj starts hobbling while reaching the non-striker’s end to complete the second run. The physio makes his way out to the centre for the second time in less than an over, and this surely isn’t looking good for the Indian camp and might just put a question mark over Siraj’s participation in the remainder of the Test. England burn a review after an unsuccessful appeal for leg-before against Siraj in the fourth delivery, with Stokes reluctantly going for it. The ball was narrowly missing the leg stump. Another LBW appeal by Wood in the very next delivery, this time against Bumrah, and this time umpire Dharmasena raises his finger. It was an off-cutter from the pacer that deceived ‘Boom’, hitting him on the pad bang in front of middle and leg. Bumrah decides to review it, and gets three reds on HawkEye that signal the end of the Indian innings.

India have been bowled out for 445 after opting to bat, with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj helping take the home team within touching distance of 450 with a stroke-filled final-wicket stand worth 30.

After 130 overs, India 437/9 (Jasprit Bumrah 19, Mohammed Siraj 3)

Mark Wood returns to the attack on the other side of the drinks interval as Stokes attempts to end the last-wicket stand with fiery pace. Both Siraj and Bumrah collect a single each. Hartley replaces Rehan from the other end and concedes just a single off it. The left-arm spinner had appealed successfully for LBW in the fourth delivery but Siraj went for the review right away, and got the decision overturned as UltraEdge confirmed a spike.

13:10 (IST)

Drinks brought to the field at the end of the 128th over. Meanwhile, the last two overs have cost the Englishmen 17 runs, and that will frustrate skipper Ben Stokes.

After 128 overs, India 434/9 (Jasprit Bumrah 17, Mohammed Siraj 2)

SIX! Doesn’t take long for the tail-enders to take the attack to the spinners, with Bumrah going for a wild heave down the ground off Hartley’s bowling, clearing the long on fence as a result. FOUR! Bumrah plays a similar shot off Rehan in the following over, with the fielder running to his left from deep midwicket unable to cut the ball off. FOUR! Make that two boundaries in three balls for the Indian pace spearhead as he goes inside out to a googly, lofting the ball over extra cover. This already is India’s highest score in the ongoing series, going past 420 in the first innings at Hyderabad. Three more runs, and they’ll go past England’s 436, in the second innings of the same Test.

Jurel moves to 40 with a single in the fifth delivery of Hartley’s latest over, with Bumrah blocking the final ball of the over. SIX! Jurel decides to give Rehan the charge in the following over, this time smashing the ball down the ground and clearing long off with a flat hit to collect his second maximum of the day — both scored off the same bowler. BOWLED! Dhruv Jurel misses out on a half-century on Test debut as he ends up cutting the ball straight to the keeper while attempting a late cut. He departs for a patient 46, consuming more than a hundred deliveries during his stay at the crease, leaving India one wicket away from getting bowled out.

SIX! Rehan Ahmed gets smashed for a six by Jurel after starting his new spell with a half-tracker that is promptly pulled over the midwicket fence for a flat hit by Jurel. OUT! Finally, a catch has been taken after being put down twice after lunch. Ashwin dances down the track looking to smash the ball down the ground off Rehan’s bowling, but does so straight to Anderson at midwicket. End of an excellent eighth-wicket stand that helped the home team cross the 400-mark.

Just one off Hartley’s over, with Ashwin collecting a single in the third delivery that brings up the 400 for the home team. Wood, meanwhile sticks with his lines to Ashwin and Jurel from the other end, bowling over and round the wicket respectively. AND JUREL’S DROPPED AGAIN! Second time this is happening in a space of four overs. Lady luck is being really kind to the debutant today. Jurel tried to glance a a full delivery from Wood towards the fine leg region, but Stokes had placed himself inside the circle in that direction and the ball came straight to him like a rocket! The England captain gets hit on the palm, but doesn’t react quickly enough to complete the catch.

After 116 overs, India 399/7 (Dhruv Jurel 32, Ravichandran Ashwin 35)

DROPPED! Ollie Pope puts down a sitter at midwicket to hand Dhruv Jurel a lifeline on 32 after the debutant pulls a short-of-length delivery from Tom Hartley in front of square! How costly will that prove for the visiting team this innings? FOUR! Ashwin collects an easy boundary off Wood in the following over, glancing at a short-of-length delivery angled down leg. Was perhaps aware of the fact that Stokes has no short leg/short fine in place, and went for the shot as a result. Similar shot by Ashwin in the final delivery of the over, played a little squarer of the wicket albeit for a single.

After 114 overs, India 392/7 (Dhruv Jurel 31, Ravichandran Ashwin 29)

FOUR! Wood starts off with four consecutive dots after lunch, focusing on short/short-of-length deliveries down leg. Fires a length ball in the fifth delivery, and Ashwin, perhaps anticipating the sucker ball, gets in position right away and clips this down the ground through the vacant mid on region for a boundary.

Dhruv Jurel and Ravichandran Ashwin make their way back to the centre, with Mark Wood set to continue after lunch.

After 113 overs, India 388/7 (Dhruv Jurel 31, Ravichandran Ashwin 25)

LUNCH ON DAY 2 — Tom Hartley bowls out the final over of the morning session, in which he concedes a boundary to Jurel with the debutant moving into the 30s with a firm cut through point in the fourth delivery. India collect 62 runs for the loss of two wickets after resuming from 326/5. England started off on an ideal note with Anderson and Root dismissing Kuldeep and Jadeja respectively in successive overs, but the attritional partnership between Ashwin and Jurel has once again shifted the momentum in favour of the home team, who are within touching distance of the 400-mark and still have three wickets in hand.

Jurel brings up fifty of the partnership with Ashwin for the eighth wicket after steering the ball down the ground and collecting an easy single on offer. The pair certainly have taken their time, having consumed 118 deliveries in what has been a patient stand so far. Ashwin keeps the strike with a single off the last delivery. Wood persists with the short ball tactic to Ashwin from the other end, and switches to round the wicket after Ashwin gets off strike with a bye. Jurel steers a full delivery angled down leg towards fine leg, where Rehan puts in a slide to prevent a boundary.

Ashwin and Jurel collect a single each in Hartley’s 30th over, with the left-arm spinner having done an admirable job at keeping things tidy from his end so far today. Jurel moves into the 20s in the following over, collecting a brace in the second delivery after guiding the ball towards third man with a late cut before coming back for a third in the penultimate delivery after guiding the ball down the ground, with Anderson taking a while to get to the ball from the midwicket region.

After 108 overs, India 373/7 (Dhruv Jurel 19, Ravichandran Ashwin 23)

Jurel collects a single in the penultimate delivery of the over after guiding the ball through midwicket. The left-arm spinner bowls a sharp delivery to Ashwin next up that narrowly beats Ashwin’s outside edge. Wood, meanwhile, has a proper field in place for a barrage of short deliveries, with Stokes getting a third man and a fine leg in place besides a deep backward square leg and a deep midwicket. Multiple fielders at the midwicket area as well should Ashwin offer someone a catch at that zone the way Rohit did yesterday. FOUR! Jurel nearly falls victim to the plan as he glances at a short-of-length ball that sends the ball flying just wide of Stokes at leg gully. Enough pace on the delivery for the ball to run all the way to the fence.

Hartley bowls out a maiden, his fifth of the innings so far. Jurel, manwhile, collects a single off Rehan’s bowling in the following over — his first run in 15 deliveries. FOUR! A half-tracker from Rehan outside off, and Ashwin cuts this firmly behind point to move into the 20s.

After 102 overs, India 359/7 (Dhruv Jurel 10, Ravichandran Ashwin 18)

Tidy over from Hartley after the drinks interval, conceding just one with Ashwin setting off for a single with a drive in front of square. FOUR! Ashwin collects his third boundary after driving Rehan through the cover region! Ash, however, is found guilty of running into the danger zone of the pitch, and umpire Joel Wilson, who had given Ravindra Jadeja multiple warnings on the opening day, decides he’s had enough at this point and awards five penalty runs to the Englishmen as a result. First time this is happening since the second Test in India’s tour of Bangladesh in December 2022. Last time this happened on Indian soil was in the Indore Test against New Zealand in 2016. Ashwin, meanwhile, collects a single off the final delivery to keep the strike.
