IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 51 overs, India 196/2 (Shubman Gill 65, Kuldeep Yadav 3)

STUMPS ON DAY 3 — End of an excellent day for the Indian team! Not only do they produce a tremendous fightback with the ball to collect eight English wickets for just 112, bowling them out for 319 and collecting a first innings lead of 126, they also collect nearly 200 runs thereafter for the loss of just two wickets. Yashasvi Jaiswal dishes out a second century in as many Tests before retiring hurt due to back issues while Shubman Gill too is looking solid on 65 at the moment, collecting a single off Rehan in the final over of the day.

Both Jaiswal and Gill had been dismissed cheaply in the first innings before Rohit and Jadeja produced an admirable fight back. This time it’s the youngsters who assume charge and put the Indians in the driving seat with two days left in the Test.

17:01 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 50 overs, India 195/2 (Shubman Gill 64, Kuldeep Yadav 3)

Kuldeep decides to drive a loopy delivery from Rehan through the covers, and actually pushes for a third run to keep the strike for the next over. Hartley appeals for LBW against the nightwatchman in the fourth delivery of the following over, and the Englishmen aren’t interested in reviewing it. ‘Impact’ wouldn’t have mattered as Kuldeep wasn’t offering a shot, but the ball was sailing over the stumps. Maiden to Hartley. Should one one more over before the umpire flicks the bails to indicate close of play.

16:51 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 48 overs, India 191/2 (Shubman Gill 63, Kuldeep Yadav 0)

OUT! Another soft dismissal for Patidar and he will be kicking himself for wasting another precious opportunity! It’s a half-tracker from Hartley that Patidar tried to pull towards midwicket, but ended up holing it out to Rehan at midwicket. England finally have a wicket in this session!

After 46 overs, India 189/1 (Shubman Gill 61, Rajat Patidar 0)

Rehan replaces Wood with seven overs left in the day’s play. FOUR! Gill has taken charge now after Jaiswal decides to retire hurt, and gets into the act right away by cutting a short, wide delivery from the leg-spinner square of the wicket for a boundary.

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 44 overs, India 185/1 (Shubman Gill 57, )

Yashasvi Jaiswal retires hurt at the end of the 44th over! The opener decides to walk off the ground after collecting 104 off 133 balls with the back spasm becoming too much of an issue for him to be able to focus properly at the moment. Skipper Rohit and coach Dravid too might have sent a message to the centre for him to retire hurt for now and resume his knock at some other point. Rajat Patidar walks in next

16:32 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 43 overs, India 184/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 104, Shubman Gill 56)

Bit of a delay before the start of the 43rd over with Yashasvi Jaiswal suddenly holding his back and appearing to be in some pain. The physio walks out to have a quick look and offer him a tablet or a spray. SIX! Gill brings up his half-century in style by confidently pulling a short delivery from Wood, clearing the square leg fence as a result. The six also takes India's lead past 300!

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 38 overs, India 149/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 94, Shubman Gill 31)

Wood replaces Rehan from the other end. Stokes is quite busy shuffling his fielders around during this over, such is the pressure on the England captain to try and get a breakthrough at this stage.

After 36 overs, India 144/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 91, Shubman Gill 29)

15:47 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 35 overs, India 142/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 90, Shubman Gill 28)

Drinks brought to the field at the end of the 35th over. Jaiswal, meanwhile, is batting on 90, and might just avoid the slog sweeps and other adventurous shots for a bit for now.

15:45 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 34 overs, India 140/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 89, Shubman Gill 27)

15:37 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 32 overs, India 130/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 80, Shubman Gill 26)

SIX! Full delivery from Rehan, and Jaiswal leans forward to hammer this down the ground for a maximum, moving into the 70s in the process. SIX! Root’s not immune from the big hits either as Jaiswal gets down on one knee and slog-sweeps the ball towards deep square leg, clearing that fence for a second time today.

15:34 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 30 overs, India 116/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 66, Shubman Gill 26)

And Anderson’s taken off after the horror 19-run over, with Rehan Ahmed taking his place, getting introduced for the first time today. FOUR! The leg-spinner’s been guilty of bowling far too many half-trackers outside off in this series, the latest one getting cut nonchalantly behind point by Gill. Change from both ends now with Root replacing Hartley. Concedes a boundary to Jaiswal in the fourth delivery with Jaiswal punching a slightly short delivery from the off-spinner down the ground.

15:26 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 28 overs, India 107/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 61, Shubman Gill 22)

SIX! SIX! Jaiswal smashes Hartley for back-to-back maximums to bring up his third half-century in Tests — going past 50 for the third time in the ongoing series at that! The first one was a juicy full toss from the left-arm spinner that was smashed over the wide long on fence. The next one’s a full delivery and this time Jaiswal skips down the track to hit it in the same direction.

15:23 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 27 overs, India 94/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 49, Shubman Gill 21)

SIX! FOUR! FOUR! Jaiswal’s bossing one of the greatest bowlers to ever play the game at the moment! Goes for a wild heave towards the leg side off a short-of-length ball from Anderson, clearing the square leg fence in the process, and gets a thick outside edge the very next ball that sends the ball flying towards the third man fence. Jaiswal ends the over with another pull off a short-of-length delivery in the same direction as the six, with the ball landing inside the boundary rope for a four on this occasion. The current partnership also goes past fifty in the meantime! 19 off Anderson’s sixth over!

15:15 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 26 overs, India 75/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 35, Shubman Gill 20)

Gill decides to dance down the track to Anderson, steering the ball square of the wicket only to get intercepted by Rehan at square leg. Definite shift in mindset now with Jaiswal and Gill looking to bat more positively after tea, having spent enough time at the centre by now. Jaiswal pulls Hartley firmly in front of square in the following over, only for Duckett to get in the way and prevent the ball from running away for a boundary. The southpaw collects a single two balls later to take India’s lead to 200. Gill brings him back on strike with a single in the next delivery. Two off Hartley’s ninth over after a maiden to Anderson.

15:05 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 24 overs, India 73/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 34, Shubman Gill 19)

Jaiswal helps himself to a boundary off Hartley in the following over, sweeping the left-arm spinner towards the square leg fence.

14:57 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 22 overs, India 63/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 29, Shubman Gill 14)

FOUR! Gill decides to put the stonewalling approach on hold for a bit as he drives a half-volley from Wood outside off through extra cover, taking 33 deliveries to move into double figures. Jaiswal attempts to go big downtown in the following over, but misses the ball completely. Fortunately for the batter, his back foot is firmly grounded behind the crease.

14:48 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 20 overs, India 56/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 28, Shubman Gill 8)

Four singles collected in Wood’s second over of the spell, bringing up the 50 for Team India. The first one comes off an attempted hook by Jaiswal off a bouncer that is directed at his helmet. Gill later gets an inside edge towards long leg in the final delivery. Wood’s certainly challenging the two youngsters. FOUR! First boundary after tea as Jaiswal dances down the track and drives the ball through extra cover. The southpaw collects a single a couple of deliveries later.

14:41 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

After 18 overs, India 46/1 (Yashasvi Jaiswal 21, Shubman Gill 5)

Jaiswal sets off for a single first ball after tea, punching a short-of-length ball towards cover. Dot off each of the remaining deliveries of the over. It’s a similar reading in the following over as well, in which Hartley replaces Root, with Jaiswal collecting a single off the first ball followed by five dots.

14:37 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

Jaiswal and Gill make their way back to the centre, both hoping to strike big in the second essay after getting dismissed cheaply on Day 1. Wood, who’s bowling just one over so far today, brought back at the start of the final session of the day.

14:13 (IST)

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.

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

Rohit LBW Root 19(28)

13:49 (IST)

After 10 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.

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)

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!

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.

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.

Anderson b Siraj 1(3)

12:53 (IST)

IND vs ENG LIVE 3rd Test Day 3

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.

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!

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

Foakes c Rohit b SIraj 13(37)

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.

Stokes c Bumrah b Jadeja 41(89)

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.
