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.
