IND vs Ang Live Score, Third Test Match Day 3: KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant reduce India look
England started the day for 4 at 4 at 4, but Bumrah quickly changed the script. He bowled Ben Stokes with an peach, which knocked on top of the off-stump. In his next over, he rejected Joe Root with a delivery for 104, which returned fast, then Chris Woakes was caught behind the first ball. Jamie Smith and Bridan Cars stumbled at 271 for England 7 before an important 84 -run partnership. Bumrah eventually returned to dismiss Joffra Archer and finish with 5 figures for 74.
India’s reply began on a nervous note. Yashasvi Jaiswal was repaid by a seaming delivery from Jofra Archer, playing his first Test since February 2021. Karun Nair got a beginning, but was undo a luxurious low catch from the route. Shubman Gill was rejected after a well -employed setup by Chris Woakes that was played on his tendency to bat outside the crease.
Despite the early failures, KL Rahul held firmly. He remained unbeaten at 53 in stumps, and technically playing sound innings. Rishabh Pant, who missed the fielding duties due to a finger injury, returned to bat and exited with a stable 19 not. Both shared an unbeaten stand to take India up to 145 for 3 for 3.
The match also saw some controversy around Dux Ball. India asked for a replacement of just 10 overs a day, and later another ball changed, promoted the debate. Shubman Gill was clearly disappointed during a discussion with the umpires, and the constant ball change expressed concern about the continuity of this series of Duke Ball.
India’s 242 runs and two in-form batsmen at the crease promise another entertaining chapter in three days.
