IND vs ENG Highlights: India end day on 90/2, lead by 96 as rain brings early end to intriguing back-and-forth day

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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 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: 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 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).
