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.

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.
