IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 16 overs, India 44/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 19, Shubman Gill 5)

TEA ON DAY 3 — India end the second session with 44 runs on the board for the loss of just Rohit Sharma’s wicket, stretching their lead to 170. Hartley’s brought back in place of Wood, who gets just the one over before the end of the session. Jaiswal then produces an inside out drive off Root at the start of the final over of the session to collect his first boundary of the innings, and collects a single off the last ball to keep the strike.

The highlight of the session, however, has to be the manner in which Siraj and Jadeja ran through the remainder of the English batting lineup, the former striking thrice to finish with figures of 4/84 as the visitors ended up losing five wickets for just 29 runs.

14:10 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 14 overs, India 38/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 13, Shubman Gill 5)

Mark Wood introduced into the attack with not much time left for tea. Perhaps an attempt at dismissing the new batter early in his innings. Jaiswal sets off for a single right away with a cut in front of square while Gill manages to negotiate the remaining deliveries of the over. Root continues from the other end and concedes three singles.

13:56 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 12 overs, India 34/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 10, Shubman Gill 4)

FOUR! Shubman Gill gets off the mark in style, dancing down the track and lofting the ball over midwicket off Root’s bowling in just his second delivery of the day. He gives the Englishmen a warning of what they might expect from the Indian No 3 who had produced a special second innings knock in Vizag.

13:54 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

OUT! Root breaks the opening stand as Rohit Sharma ends up getting trapped LBW on 19! Except umpire Joel Wilson didn't initially raise his finger thinking the ball might have pitched outside leg, forcing Stokes to go for the review and overturn it. Rohit missed completely while attempting a sweep, and was hit close to the boot right in front of middle. The ball too straightened slightly after pitching between middle and leg. IND 30/1

After 9 overs, India 27/0 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 9, Rohit Sharma (C) 17)

Anderson decides to get a change of boot before steaming in for his third over. Concedes two in this over, with Rohit driving the ball through the gap between extra cover and mid off for a brace. Meanwhile, Mark Wood is back on the field now, and should be bowling soon.

13:20 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 4 overs, India 13/0 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 2, Rohit Sharma (C) 10)

13:17 (IST)

After 2 overs, India 9/0 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 1, Rohit Sharma (C) 8)

England start with spin from the other end, with pacer Mark Wood currently not on the field with Dan Lawrence substituting for him. The part-time off-spinner, who’s now become the senior spinner in the side in Jack Leach’s absence, starts off with a maiden.

13:13 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 1 over, India 9/0 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 1, Rohit Sharma (C) 8)

Jaiswal starts off with a well-judged leave in the first delivery of the innings. Gets off the mark with a single two balls later. FOUR! FOUR! Back-to-back boundaries for India skipper Rohit off Anderson — pulling a short-of-length ball through square leg before punching the next one, bowled along a similar length outside off, through cover. Positive start to the innings for the home team.

13:05 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rohit Sharma walk out to open India’s second innings, with the former on strike as James Anderson prepares to bowl the first over of the innings as usual. Will the Indians take their time and collect runs at a steady clip? Or will they take the slam-bang approach that England did after tea on Friday? Stay tuned to find out.

12:57 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 71.1 overs, England 319 (Mark Wood 4)

BOWLED! Another searing yorker from Mohammed Siraj crashed into the off stump, resulting in James Anderson getting castled for 1. With that, England have been bowled out for 319, losing five wickets for just 29 runs after lunch in what certainly is one of their worst batting collapses in the ‘Bazball’ era.

Siraj finishes the pick of the bowlers with 4/84 as the home team collect a sizeable 126-run first innings lead, which could be crucial not just for the Rajkot Test but the series as a whole.

OUT! Tom Hartley tries giving Ravindra Jadeja the charge for a third time in as many overs; after collecting a boundary in each of the last two overs, he ends up getting beaten by the left-arm spinner's guide, resulting in an easy stumping for keeper Dhruv Jurel. Was a flatter delivery that ended up breaching his defence. It’s turning into a procession of sorts for the visitors now. ENG 314/9

After 70 overs, England 314/8 (Tom Hartley 9, Mark Wood 0)

BOWLED! Siraj ends Rehan’s resistance with a pin-point yorker as England lose their eighth wicket shortly after crossing 300! Rehan tried bringing his bat down in time, but was beaten for pace as the ball crashed onto the base of the off stump. Rehan had just collected his first boundary of the innings with a superb punch through extra cover just two deliveries before getting castled.

Rehan b Siraj 6 (13)

12:47 (IST)

After 69 overs, England 310/7 (Rehan Ahmed 2, Tom Hartley 9)

FOUR! Hartley decides to charge down the track against Jadeja for the second time in as many overs, and this time smashes the ball straight down the ground for his second boundary of the day.

12:46 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 68 overs, England 305/7 (Rehan Ahmed 1, Tom Hartley 5)

FOUR! Superb shot by Hartley as he charges down the track against Jadeja and drives through the extra cover region to collect his first boundary! Looks like that might just be the approach for the English lower-order batters in the remainder of their innings. Rehan collects a single off Siraj in the following over, getting off the mark in the process.

12:40 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 66 overs, England 300/7 (Rehan Ahmed 0, Tom Hartley 1)

England suddenly are staring at the prospect of conceding a first innings deficit of more than a hundred runs with Stokes and Foakes departing in quick succession. England suddenly have two new faces at the centre with the batting now going into the tail. The English tail sure can wag, but the prospect of going past 400 suddenly looks a lot more difficult now. Tom Hartley, who joins Rehan Ahmed after Foakes’ dismissal, collects a single off the final delivery of Siraj’s 19th over to bring up the 300 for the visitors.

12:31 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

OUT! Two wickets in two balls for the Indians, and it's the other 'Ben' who gets the marching orders this time as Foakes ends up chipping the ball straight to Rohit Sharma at mid on to give Siraj his second wicket of the innings! Foakes looked to work this through the leg side, but appeared to have been caught in two minds after the ball stopped on him after pitching, resulting in the chip down the ground. ENG 299/7

12:29 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 65 overs, England 299/6 (Ben Foakes 13)

OUT! Massive wicket for the Indians as Ravindra Jadeja gets rid of Ben Stokes shortly after lunch! Stokes goes for the slog-sweep after getting a flat delivery outside off from the left-arm spinner that holds its line. Ends up hitting off the toe end resulting in a thick top-edge, and later a simple catch for Jasprit Bumrah near the cow corner region. Stokes falls short of a half-century.

12:21 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 63 overs, England 291/5 (Ben Stokes (C) 39, Ben Foakes 7)

Siraj starts off with a wide slip in place, and bowls a maiden first thing after lunch. Jadeja, who had been introduced for the first time today in the final over of the morning session, continues from the other end. Just one off the over with Foakes setting off for a single in the second delivery.

12:19 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

The two Ben’s — captain Stokes and wicketkeeper-batter Foakes — make their way back to the centre hoping to convert their steady partnership into a big one in the second session. Mohammed Siraj will bowl the first over after lunch.

11:34 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 61 overs, England 290/5 (Ben Stokes (C) 39, Ben Foakes 6)

LUNCH ON DAY 3 — Ravindra Jadeja introduced for the first time today and bowls the final over of the morning session, dishing out the six deliveries in the blink of an eye in which he concedes a single to Stokes in the first delivery and follows it up with five consecutive dots.

England collect 83 runs from 26 overs at a run rate of 3.19 that is quite slow by ‘Bazball’ standards. India, meanwhile, will feel buoyed by the three wickets that they were able to collect in this session, including and especially Ben Duckett’s with the well-set opener departing shortly after going past 150.

England skipper Ben Stokes is fairly set at the moment, and will be crucial to his team’s hopes of eclipsing the Indian total of 445 and taking a sizeable first innings lead from here.

11:28 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 60 overs, England 289/5 (Ben Stokes (C) 38, Ben Foakes 6)

FOUR! Release shot for Foakes who had collected just two runs in 16 deliveries, taking a couple of steps down the track despite the spinner having a catching mid on in place, and driving the ball through the gap between midwicket and mid on to collect his first boundary. The fielder placed at conventional mid on tried giving the ball a chase in vain. Excellent save by Jurel in the following over after Siraj fires one down leg while bowling to Foakes, saving the ball from running away for four byes. Another delivery later in the over angles in sharply from outside off, almost like a fast off-cutter, and nearly hits the off stump along the way. Should be one more over before lunch.

11:19 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 58 overs, England 284/5 (Ben Stokes (C) 37, Ben Foakes 2)

Kuldeep continues to challenge Stokes, getting one to turn away sharply that beats Stokes’ bat and lands in Rohit’s hands at slip after a deflection off Jurel’s gloves. Stokes decides to keep the scoreboard ticking with a cut in front of square in the next delivery, getting enough time to come back for a second run. Gets a top-edge in the next delivery while attempting a sweep, with the ball landing safely at short fine after going over Jurel. FOUR! Slightly short from Siraj and Stokes pulls this through the gap between square leg and midwicket at the start of the pacer’s 15th over. Siraj bowls another short-of-length ball later in the over, this time outside off, and Stokes nearly chops the ball onto the stumps. The bowler has his hands over his head, knowing how close he just came to dismissing the opposition skipper.

11:10 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 56 overs, England 275/5 (Ben Stokes (C) 28, Ben Foakes 2)

Close shave for Stokes in Kuldeep’s latest over as he fails to pick a googly from the left-arm wrist spinner which breaches his defence and sails narrowly above the stumps. Runs away for four byes as the keeper Jurel fails to react quickly enough to collect it. Siraj, meanwhile, has responded nicely by conceding just one in each of his last three overs since getting hit for two boundaries by Stokes in his first over of the day.

11:01 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 54 overs, England 268/5 (Ben Stokes (C) 26, Ben Foakes 1)

FOUR! Stokes gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps towards the midwicket fence to try and keep the pressure levels in check. Collects a single off the final delivery to keep the strike for the following over, in which just two runs are added to the English total including a bye.

10:57 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 52 overs, England 261/5 (Ben Stokes (C) 21, Ben Foakes 0)

Kuldeep bowls out a wicket maiden after getting rid of Duckett at the start of his 14th over. The spinner appeals for a leg-before against Foakes three balls after the dismissal, but the Indians aren’t interested in taking this upstairs after the umpire shakes his head. The ball had turned sharply after pitching outside off, and HawkEye shows the impact to be ‘Umpire’s Call’ along off and later hitting the leg stump. Stokes collects a single off Siraj in the final delivery of the following over, preventing it from going as a maiden.

10:50 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

OUT! Kuldeep Yadav bags the prized wicket, albeit off what isn’t exactly the best of his deliveries, as Ben Duckett ends up firmly cutting a short, wide delivery from the left-arm wrist spinner straight to Shubman Gill stationed at extra cover! The opener perishes shortly after going past 150. ENG 260/5

10:46 (IST)

After 50 overs, England 260/4 (Ben Duckett 153, Ben Stokes (C) 20)

Mohammed Siraj introduced for the first time today with Jasprit Bumrah given a breather after the drinks interval. FOUR! Stokes collects a second boundary in as many overs by clipping a length ball from Siraj in front of square on the leg side. Helps himself to another boundary just two balls later, dancing down the track and going for an aerial drive over cover. Eight off Siraj’s first over of the day.

10:42 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 49 overs, England 252/4 (Ben Duckett 153, Ben Stokes (C) 12)

FOUR! Stokes decides to take the attack to the spinner right after the drinks interval, going for a lofted drive down the ground towards the long off fence. Collects a single off the last delivery to keep the strike.

10:36 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 48 overs, England 247/4 (Ben Duckett 153, Ben Stokes (C) 7)

Drinks brought to the field after Bumrah collects a maiden in his 15th over. End of an exciting first hour on the ‘Moving Day’ and the Indians suddenly have hope of collecting a sizeable first innings lead with the two early strikes. Duckett’s presence will be worrying skipper Rohit though. England’s deficit is also less than 200 now, taking the prospect of a ‘Follow-On’ out of the equation now.

10:32 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 47 overs, England 247/4 (Ben Duckett 153, Ben Stokes (C) 7)

Duckett and Stokes continue to bat steadily, collecting four singles in the last two overs with three of them coming in Kuldeep’s latest over. Both Bumrah and Kuldeep are bowling excellent lines at the moment and have the batters, including the well set Duckett, on the back-foot.

10:26 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 45 overs, England 243/4 (Ben Duckett 150, Ben Stokes (C) 6)

FOUR! Streaky boundary for Duckett off Bumrah’s bowling! He was deceived by an off-cutter from the pacer and got a leading edge that would’ve been a sitter for the fielder at backward point. Instead, it lands well beyond gully’s reach and runs away for a boundary. Another boundary later in the over, this time to Stokes who nicks the ball through the gap between slip and gully after playing with soft hands. Rohit then puts down a tough chance at slip after a reverse sweep by Duckett off Kuldeep in the following over, nearly resulting in a repeat of the Root dismissal except this was a little too high for the Indian skipper to grab. Duckett collects a single in the very next delivery to complete 150 runs for only the second time in his Test career. Four leg byes added to the English total in the penultimate delivery.

10:21 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 43 overs, England 229/4 (Ben Duckett 144, Ben Stokes (C) 2)

Skipper Ben Stokes joins Duckett at the centre with England suddenly under the pump after losing two wickets in quick succession. Duckett sets off for a single at the start of Bumrah’s 12th over, and Stokes fends his way through the remainder of the over. He opens his account with a brace in the following over, driving a full delivery through cover.

10:04 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 41 overs, England 225/4 (Ben Duckett 142, Ben Stokes (C) 0)

OUT! And now it’s Kuldeep Yadav’s turn to get his name on the wickets column as Jonny Bairstow perishes for a four-ball duck after getting beaten by the extra turn on offer and getting hit on the pad bang in front of off and middle. Umpire Dharmasena raises his finger after a brief pause. Bairstow waits until the last second before signalling for the review, and HawkEye shows the ball to be crashing into the middle stump. India are back in the game and how!

After 40 overs, England 224/3 (Ben Duckett 141, Jonny Bairstow 0)

OUT! Jasprit Bumrah strikes early on Day 3 and ends the overnight partnership! And Joe Root is gutted with himself after playing a reverse lap straight to Yashasvi Jaiswal at second slip. Perhaps got a little too ambitious, especially when he wasn't even fully settled at the crease and could've held that shot back for a bit.

After 39 overs, England 223/2 (Ben Duckett 140, Joe Root 18)

FOUR! And we also have the first slog-sweep off a spinner now as Duckett gets down on one knee and smashes the ball towards deep midwicket at the start of Kuldeep’s second over of the day. Three singles collected in the remaining deliveries of the over.

09:49 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 38 overs, England 216/2 (Ben Duckett 134, Joe Root 17)

FOUR! The first boundary of the day comes not off Duckett’s bat, but off Root’s! Bumrah fires one slightly short outside off and Root stays on the back-foot and guides the ball behind square towards the vacant backward point fence. Root later collects a brace off the final delivery, once again guiding the ball behind square but this time on the leg side.

09:47 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 37 overs, England 210/2 (Ben Duckett 134, Joe Root 11)

Kuldeep Yadav starts off from the other end, and with Ravichandran Ashwin having suddenly taken a leave of absence, he will have to bowl a lot more overs along with Ravindra Jadeja. He’s off to a tidy start today, conceding just one off his first over with Root setting off for a single in the penultimate delivery.

09:45 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 36 overs, England 209/2 (Ben Duckett 134, Joe Root 10)

Bumrah starts off bowling round the wicket to Duckett with two slips and a gully in place. Starts off with a dot before the southpaw collects the first run of the day in the second delivery with a single, steering the ball behind square on the off side. Root follows suit two deliveries later, getting an inside edge off an inswinging delivery that he ends up directing behind square leg.

09:43 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

Jasprit Bumrah bowls the first over of the day with Ben Duckett set to resume from his overnight score of 133.

09:32 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3: The day's play is underway with Jasprit Bumrah bowling to Ben Duckett, who is on 133 not out. Joe Root is at the other end. India will look to take at least one wicket in the first 30 minutes and comeback into the match.
