IND vs ENG 3rd Test Highlights: Ravindra Jadeja's unbeaten 110 helps India reach 326/5 at stumps after opting to bat

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Live: The Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium at Rajkot has been renamed as Niranjan Shah Stadium and India will hope the change of the name will also help them change the score line in the five-match Test series against England which is currently level 1-1 after first two matches. England won in Hyderabad by 28 runs to stun the Indian cricket fraternity, but Rohit Sharma’s men bounced back at Visakhapatnam with a 106-run victory. Now after a 10-day break, it’s time for the third Test. India have a slight worry going into the match with Virat Kohli, KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer missing. Kohli is out due to personal reasons, Rahul is injured, while Iyer has been dropped due to poor form. This indicates that Sarfaraz Khan is set for his India debut. Rajat Patidar who debuted at Visakhapatnam should also play and Dhruv Jurel could come in for KS Bharat. England have decided to play two pacers in James Anderson and Mark Wood, which is an indication that the pitch is not going to be a rank turner. Rajkot is also not known for producing green pitches, which means we can see a lot of runs in the third Test with Bazball prospering. India are expected to play Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj, besides Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. It’s still not clear who among Axar Patel or Kuleep Yadav will be the third spinner. India XI: Rohit Sharma (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (WK), R Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj England XI: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes (C), Ben Foakes (WK), Rehan Ahmed, Tom Hartley, Mark Wood, James Anderson Squads: India squad: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma (C), Shubman Gill, Devdutt Padikkal, Rajat Patidar, Srikar Bharat (WK), Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mukesh Kumar, Mohammed Siraj, Ravindra Jadeja, Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar, Dhruv Jurel (WK), Akash Deep England squad: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes (C), Ben Foakes(WK), Rehan Ahmed, Tom Hartley, James Anderson, Shoaib Bashir, Mark Wood, Ollie Robinson, Daniel Lawrence, Gus Atkinson
