IND vs ENG Highlights, India vs England Test Series Day 3: A shared day in Leeds, as England narrowed their first innings deficit to just 6 runs despite a five-fer from Jasprit Bumrah. Much of the lineup chipping in, with Harry Brook painfully dismissed on 99. With the bat, India go in for stumps at 90/2, losing Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sai Sudharsan but with KL Rahul in good touch and Shubman Gill fresh to the crease....Read More
If day one was completely dominated by India at Headingley, all the chips fell England's way on day two to ensure that this Test match is perfectly in the balance heading into day three. For India, day two was about looking back and being disappointed by missed chances. Being 430-3 with two centurions batting in full flow at the crease, only to collapse and lose 7 wickets for just 41 more runs. Getting England against the ropes with a wicket in the very first over, only to drop chances and not keep the pressure up, allowing the runs to flow. The world's best bowler taking a match-changing wicket in the last over before stumps, only to get it taken back for a no-ball. Small, key moments, that means England are only 262 runs behind India now, a centurion of their own at the crease, and plenty of batting to come.
What it all means is that England are in a position to make a very solid match of this contest despite facing three centurions in the first innings — in fact, India's 471 is the lowest score by any team in the history of Test cricket when three different players have registered tonnes. It has been the story for India: their ceiling of talent has been such that Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, and Jasprit Bumrah with his three wickets have ensured they are competitive. But a string of subpar performances, particularly for the bowlers around Bumrah, has meant they will be disappointed that England are still in the game.
Ollie Pope reached a century before stumps on day two, and Bumrah’s wicket of Joe Root means what could have been an extraordinarily bad day for India was still rescued somewhat. But with slightly overcast conditions expected for the rest of this Test, India will be desperate for wickets to make their first innings batting performance count. They will want a result in Leeds, and the only way to do that will be to take 17 more English wickets. Beyond Bumrah, what is India's resource to find those? Prasidh Krishna has disappointed as the third seamer, being loose and expensive, while Mohammed Siraj has gone between being similarly loose to only vaguely threatening. With Ravindra Jadeja’s spin not finding much purpose, a big test lies ahead for debutant captain Shubman Gill, who really needs to rally his resources and find a way to brute-force some success against Pope and Brook for starters, and then Ben Stokes and Jamie Smith to come.
There's no clear favourite at this point in the match, and it might well just come down to which batting unit can have the most joy against two bowling attacks which have this far flattered to deceive. Bumrah was unsurprisingly exceptional: how much of a difference can he make after an evening’s rest, against Pope and particularly against Brook and Stokes? These are the questions both teams will be well aware of, and it's the battle that could decide the fate of this Test match as we head into moving day.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: STUMPS CALLED as rain grows at Leeds, IND 90/2
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Sudden end to the day, but it was coming as rain steadily grew. Ben Stokes not happy, he felt his foot was on India's throat, but that's the decision from the umpires. KL Rahul in to the pavilion on 47*, Shubman Gill with him to try and make this a defendable target on day 4. For now, 96-run lead in Leeds, and we are set up for a cracker of a match for the remainder of this first Test. See you early tomorrow!
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Sudharsan falls! It's Stokes again
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Sudharsan a little unlucky there! He hits a really nice clip off his pads for 4, and nearly does so the very next ball — but this time it's straight to the close-in fielder at short mid-wicket. He hit that quite well, and not even that uppish, but it's a nice low catch from Crawley.
Was that the plan to young Sudharsan? He was beginning to look good, but innings cut short at 30.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: India's turn to benefit from a drop! Sudharsan breathes easy
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Nearly for England! Sudharsan slashes hard, but uppish, and it's catchable for Duckett at backward point. He can't hold on, and can't hold on to the juggle either, and probably should have. Can Sudharsan make the most of this bonus?
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: 50 partnership for Sudharsan and KL
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: The first bits of an important partnership for the second wicket. This pair will want to keep building on it — they both scored 100s in the same match for opposite teams back during the IPL not too long ago. A similar level of quality demanded from both of them.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Drinks, IND 64/1
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Drinks and an eye on the weather as it begins to get pretty gloomy in the middle. Rahul doing very well, Sudharsan looking a little tense and antsy but growing into it. Lead to 70.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: KL Rahul pounces on the spin
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Shoaib Bashir introduced early in this innings, but KL Rahul happy to see him. Gets one short and on leg, rocks back and pulls him behind square.
A touch of rain in the air as the next over begins…
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Exquisite from KL Rahul! Pair of boundaries
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Yep, that's nice. Rahul plunders 12 runs in that over, first the run 4, then a sumptuous on-drive, and finally a picture-perfect cover-drive. Turning it up just a touch, but he will be aware that's the shot that got him in trouble on day 1.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Batters run 4, Sudharsan drops his bat enroute
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Just that sort of match. Rahul tucks it away neatly, a little bit of sloppiness on the fence allows them to come back for 4, but Sudharsan drops his bat making the turn. No damage, comfortably come through.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: India patient after wicket
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: KL Rahul had taken the attack with a couple of positive shots, but since Jaiswal's wicket, he's happier to leave. India know the importance of batting for a little bit of time at the moment.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: First runs for Sai Sudharsan
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Off the pair, he will breathe a sigh (a Sai) of relief. Plays it nice and late, outside half of the bat, and runs away to the third man boundary. Good application needed from the young man.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Jaiswal is out! Horror day continues
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Not a couple of days young Yashasvi Jaiswal will look back on fondly! Carse from around the wicket and it's a gem. Pitches, has plenty of carry, straightens, and easily pouched by Smith.
No heroics for Jaiswal this time, and England are certainly on top at the moment. Sai Sudharsan with try number two, 16/1.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: KL Rahul nearly chops on!
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Oof, that was close! Rahul tries to cut away, but he only gets an under-edge. It's inches away from knocking his stumps over. Lucky break early on, but he goes for the cut again next ball, and this time it's perfect. Runs away to the point boundary.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Jaiswal nails pull as Carse comes around the wicket
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Quieter start from India, but Jaiswal finds the fence early as Carse digs it in. Jaiswal a little tucked up, but uses the angle to swivel and get it to the fence. 6/0 after 2.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Back for the third innings
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul head to the crease, have to negotiate with Chris Woakes with the conditions suddenly quite dim and overcast. Testing and hugely important session of play ahead.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Timber again! Bumrah gets 5, and England wrapped up for 465 at TEA
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: There's Bumrah's fifth! Sensational bowler at the top of his game, and he has deserved this. But India won't be happy, their first innings effort essentially wiped out as England only trail by 6. The tea break now, and India's third innings on the other side.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: TIMBER! Bumrah returns to clean up Chris Woakes
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Woakes was batting so well, but Bumrah just has that magic in his fingertips. Quick and straight, all it needs, hits the stumps and that's that for Woakes. One wicket left, trail by 11…
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: 455/8 now
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: India will be growing impatient with their lead nearly wiped out. The top-order batters will be thinking about having to play out the rest of the day, but still work to be done before then.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Siraj with a wicket! Removes Carse with lead at 18
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Carse makes room to try and open up the off-side against the short ball, Siraj bluffs him with a pinpoint yorker. His stumps knocked over.
Two wickets still to get. Can India get the mental boost of a first innings lead?
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Deficit down to 23…
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: An extended spell for Siraj and Krishna as India return to the short ball plan. Bumrah being given some management in terms of his overs. But Shardul Thakur still conspicuously under-used.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Chris Woakes flexing some muscle now! Two sixes in a row
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: India in deep, deep trouble. Their lead down to 30. Woakes pulls Prasidh away for six, and the very next ball, upper-cuts him for 6. England getting everyone to chip in.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Deficit within 50
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: India just leaking runs even with the new ball. England are set to really challenge that 471: India's tail's failure to wag standing in stark contrast now.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: England into the 400s
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Chris Woakes with a crisp shot to take England past 400. India need to be clinical and sharp against these last few partnerships, it will be so frustrating if they let the lead slip from here.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: CAUGHT THIS TIME! Brook's luck swings one way and the other out on 99
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Prasidh Krishna strikes to remove Harry Brook on 99! Wow, Brook has ridden his luck right through this innings, but was approaching a century here, and it's the short ball that undoes him. Dug in from Prasidh, a surprise, and Brook's swivel-pull has no control. Loops straight to long leg. Brook's turn for head-in-hands now.
398/7.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Do you believe it, ANOTHER drop! Jaiswal again
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: That's so frustrating for India! Jaiswal has shown skill in the gully, but he is also susceptible to dropping a few. It's happened again. Harry Brook guides it right to him, it's actual catching practice, but Jaiswal gets in an almighty tangle. Never looked like catching that. Disappointing from the young man, and Brook, now on his FOURTH life, into the 90s.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Brook racing forward! Going after the new ball
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Will India mind Brook taking these chances against the new ball? He sees value in exploiting the hard ball and the closed-in field, but India will know that opens a window for them.
Some mutter from Siraj towards Brook. Typical stuff from Siraj but can it bring him the results he wants?
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Explosion off the pitch from Bumrah!
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Wow, that has completely trampolined off the pitch. It's very full, but Woakes is nowhere close to it as it just explodes. Over Pant's head four four byes, he had absolutely no chance.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Bumrah a little awry with the second new ball
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: A rare poor over from Bumrah as he accepts the fresh new ball. Two deliveries down leg, a couple too wide.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: THE BOUNCER PLAN WORKS! What a catch from Jadeja and Sudharsan in the deep
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: A wicket right before the second new ball is due! Prasidh unfazed and digs it in short again, and this time Smith doesn't get enough. Jadeja grabs it on the edge of the boundary, and has the presence of mind to toss it to Sudharsan as he is at risk of tumbling over.
Great teamwork. 349-6, the second new ball three deliveries away.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Smith unbothered by the short ball!
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Wow, Smith is so comfortable against the short ball at the moment. High backlift and all the time in the world, second time he's gone for a full-blooded pull. This one clears the boundary by some distance.
Oh hold on, there's a review for caught behind …
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Harry Brook with a touch of Rishabh Pant!
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: How about that! Harry Brook with the mirror image of a typical Pant paddle, falling over on purpose and scooping Jadeja to the fine leg boundary. Generates leverage and gets out of the way, Pant enjoyed that one too.
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Crucial phase of play for 45 minutes post-lunch
IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Welcome back. Three overs to the new ball, and India going with a short-ball plan early on to try and unsettle Harry Brook.
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: LUNCH, England 327/5
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: That's lunch, Bumrah's two over spell before the break not yielding much — but the second new ball due in 3 overs after the new session begins.
Good session for India with their wickets, but England still finding runs to close the deficit to just 144. Brook batting well, if with some chances, on 57*. With the second new ball due, India could either run through England quickly, or allow England to close the distance very quickly.
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: England reach 300 — and another dropped chance!
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: England reach the 300 mark, but it's India with another missed chance! Very tough one for Pant, as a good length delivery from Jadeja explodes with extra bounce. Catches the shoulder of Brook's bat, Pant can't get his gloves up quick enough. It could loop anywhere, but falls just beyond Gill. India making plenty of chances!
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Jamie Smith given LBW but survives!
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Shardul Thakur comes into the attack and nearly immedately gets results! Smith tries to come down the pitch, but a very full ball strikes him on the pads. The umpire does give it out, but it's an immediate review — and on hawkeye it slides down leg stump. Close but not quite!
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: GOT HIM! Siraj breaks duck, dismisses Stokes
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: BIG WICKET! Siraj comes around to wicket to Stokes, and it's a loose shot from the English captain. Not decisive as he pokes at it, catches a significant edge, and Pant completes the formalities.
India will be happier now, one more wicket and they will be into the bowlers.
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: ENG 268-4, drinks in first session
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: A first hour that India found an early wicket with, but have since found minimal joy with. The deficit down to 203, and India will be aware that Brook is someone capable of big scores on such pitches.
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: ENG reach 250
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Stokes and Brook ticking it along nicely at the moment, picking up runs and boundaries with relative confidence. The early signs of bite already fading, and India taking a look at the ball, trying to get it changed.
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Brook looking in good touch
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Harry Brook striking the ball well against the pacers, and that means Shubman Gill has turned to Ravindra Jadeja. Brook might look to turn it over to Stokes to take the attack instead.
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Harry Brook takes the attacking approach to Bumrah!
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: That's one way to shake off the nerves from last night! It's a good-length ball from Bumrah, moving away, and Brook can just stand tall and smash it through the covers.
He's quickly onto 20, picking on loose balls. India already regret the drops of Pope and Duckett, hopefully not the non-wicket of Brook too…
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Prasidh Krishna makes the difference count, accounts for Pope early!
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Just the start India wanted! And it's the set man, the centurion. Ollie Pope just wafts at one from Krishna, and it just gets a touch more bounce, a little more movement, enough to catch the edge and for Pant to pouch it.
Plenty of wind and breeze over Headingley. Indian bowlers will feel up for this.
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Cooler temperatures await players…
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: After the hottest days of the year making the first two days a batting paradise and bowling nightmare, it's a quick switch as temperatures drop by nearly 10 degrees today. And when it's cooler, it swings more…
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Strong chances of rain in Leeds today
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Something to keep an eye on is the weather. Leeds is expected to receive rain over the next couple of days. We have already lost one hour of play yesterday, and with rain expected in the daily forecast, teams will be hoping it's not too much more today. Better news for India if such are the conditions? Possibly.
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: How will Brook fair in his first Test innings vs India?
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Already having gotten away with being dismissed on a no-ball, Harry Brook looked very uncomfortable in a brief late-day burst by Jasprit Bumrah, where his technique left him late on short balls. Bumrah took no time to figure him out — but Brook has had a night to come up with a plan to try and counter him. His talent and his ability to score big runs is evident: can he make it count against India on day three?
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Stay tuned folks!
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Day 3 will begin at 3:30 PM IST, and we will soon see Pope and Brook enter the pitch. The pair have a huge task ahead, and need to settle in and avoid errors in the first few overs. Any mistake could be costly, considering that are up against Bumrah.
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Siraj needs to up the ante
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Since BGT 2024/25, Bumrah has taken 35 wickets at an average of 13.31, and the other paces have bagged 48 at an average of 40.29. India have become over-dependent on Bumrah. Siraj is their next-best pacer, taking 20 wickets, but his average is 34.45 and Bumrah’s is 13.31. Siraj will need to up his game today!
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Pope to bat deep for England?
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Both sides will look to gain control on Day 3, and it could very well decide how rest of the match folds out! The hosts will hope that Pope does a Gill effort, bats deep! But the visitors will look avoid that and put in a strong bowling display!
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: How did India's other pacers perform on Day 2?
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Prasidh and Shardul leaked 79 runs in 13 overs. Prasidh is in only his fourth Test, and kept on bowling short length deliveries on a pitch that required fuller balls. It helped England settle in and Shardul was introduced only in the 40th over, and was ineffective! Siraj was ineffective as well in his opening spell, but came back in his second and third spells.
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Gill and India look to avoid mistakes
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Gill will hope that India avoids errors like Day 2, and take advantage of big moments created by Bumrah! India made unforced errors with both bat and ball on Day 2. Bumrah nearly Brook, taking him aback with a short ball in the final over, but he overstepped! Duckett was also dropped!
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Focus on Brook and Pope
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Brook (0*) will look to open his account, but in a cautious manner. He almost lost his wicket in the final over of Day 2, but was saved by Bumrah overstepping! Meanwhile, Pope will look to build on his ton.
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Bumrah vs Root
IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England Test Series Day 3: Bumrah removed Root for the 10th time yesterday, doing so in 25 innings (570 balls). Meanwhile, Root has managed 290 runs vs the Indian pacer, at an average of 29.00. Only Cummins has removed Root more often (11).
