Earlier, Jonny Bairstow scored a brisk hundred to lead England's fightback, while India managed to gain a healthy first-innings lead. Bairstow, 91 not out when rain forced an early lunch on the third day, went to three figures when a push off seamer Shardul Thakur was misfielded on the cover rope. His exit left England 227-6 and they were eventually dismissed for 284 in reply to India's first-innings 416, a deficit of 132 runs.
