England lead by 126 runs at stumps on Day 3. India may have lost the first session but they owned the second session and took a big step towards sealing a 1-0 series lead.
Jasprit Bumrah roared as he provided India the breakthrough in the second session by ending Ben Duckett's stay in the middle. Duckett and Ollie Pope came out swinging in the second session. India decided not to review an LBW decision that did not go their way off a superb Bumrah delivery against Duckett. Replays showed that the decision would have gone India's way if there had been a review, leaving Bumrah visibly frustrated.
However, the Indian pace spearhead got his man in the very next over with a vicious inswinger that sent Duckett's off stump cartwheeling. Then went England's experienced middle-order mainstays Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes. Root fell to Bumrah on two off six deliveries, while Bairstow was sent back by Jadeja on 10 off 24 balls. Stokes was looking to bide his time and block the Indian bowlers out, as he normally does, but ended up being bamboozled by Ashwin on six off 33 balls.
England have looked by far the best they ever have in this Test in the first session and the early part of the second session on Day 3. While Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed Zak Crawley for 31 off 33, England were unfazed as they went about attacking the Indian spinners in the first session. At Lunch on Day 3, England were 89/1 and trailing India by 101 runs, after having started the session with a deficit of 190. That, along with the fact that they dismissed India in a jiffy earlier in the morning meant that the first session of Day 3 became the first of this Test to go their way. India managed to bat for just under an hour as Joe Root completed his four-wicket haul. Rehan Ahmed dismissed Axar Patel to end the Indian innings on 436. Root dismissed Ravindra Jadeja, denying him a potential century, and Jasprit Bumrah off consecutive deliveries to complete his four-wicket haul.
India's batting prowess was on display in Hyderabad on Friday with as many as five partnerships of the eight going past 50 runs, including the one that will resume on Day 3. Spin-bowling all-rounders Ravindra Jadeja and Axar Patel were as ruthless as any of the other Indian batters on the day with their execution as they went about putting together a partnership that stood at 63 off 117 balls at the end of the day. Jadeja had scored 81 runs in 155 balls while Axar was on 35 off 62 when Stumps were called and India's score stood at 421/7, leading England by 175 runs.
It was a chastening day for the visitors. They rued the fact that they used up all of their reviews in the first 14 overs of the Indian innings on Day 1 itself. While Jack Leach is their lead spinner, and most experienced campaigner in that department, he bowled just 16 overs out of 87 in short spells. It was later revealed by England's spin-bowling coach, Jeetan Patel that the left-armer had aggravated his knee injury while fielding early in the morning on Friday. That put the onus on Joe Root, who ended up looking like his team's best bowler. Root's consistency, while being patchy at times, was far ahead of what was exhibited by Rehan Ahmed, Tom Hartley and even Leach at times. The former England captain has bowled 24 overs thus far and taken two wickets. He gave England a bright start to the day on Friday by dismissing the dangerous Yashasvi Jaiswal in the first over itself.
KL Rahul then got a reprieve when Ben Foakes grassed a tough chance behind the stumps after the batter, yet to open his account, had edged Root. Root was unlucky again when Shubman Gill miscued a shot but Ben Stokes, stationed at mid-off, lost sight of the ball against the sun. Gill struggled and eventually fell to Tom Hartley, who finally had a reason to smile after the pasting he received from Jaiswal on Day 1. However, England's happiness was short-lived as Rahul then went about putting together a 64-run stand with Shreyas Iyer and a 65-run stand with Jadeja, the latter coming in just 74 balls. In fact the stand between Jadeja and Rahul had a strike rate of over 100 for much of its existence. Rahul missed out on a chance to score a century, holing out in the deep at 86 off 123, after which Jadeja shared 68-run stand with KS Bharat. Bharat had been sensational with the gloves and now had a chance to correct his dismal Test batting average. He looked good but eventually fell to Root on 41 off 81. Ravichandran Ashwin was the only Indian batter to have fallen for a single-digit score thereafter. Ashwin was run out after a disastrous mix-up with Jadeja but the latter heaped the agony on England with Axar at the other end after that.

- Root dismissed Jadeja and Bumrah off consecutive deliveries to finish his four-wicket haul
- Rehan Ahmed picked the last wicket and India were all out for 436, leading England by 190 runs
- Ashwin got the first wicket for India, dismissing Crawley for a 33-ball 31
- However, England continued to attack in the first session and reduced their deficit to 101 runs by the end of the first session
- England continued in the same vein early in the second session but a pumped up Bumrah halted that progress by dismissing the dangerous Duckett
- India wrestled back control after that, with Ashwin and Jadeja striking as well and England losing Bairstow, Root and Stokes without too much of a difference being made to the scorecard
- Pope and Foakes frustrated India in the third session
- Pope eventually scored a gritty century

Ashwin runs behind the ball from mid-on, substitute fielder Patidar runs along the boundary from deep square leg both players end up withdrawing for each other and the ball just rolls unimpeded to the boundary. Before this Ashwin seemed to have caught with the ball and seemed to be collecting it with a slide, but he forgot to gather the ball while sliding and the ball went to the boundary right past him.

Root takes a review straight away though and so he may have nicked this. If he hasn't then this is as plumb as they come. And well, well, well, ultra edge shows no bat and it's umpire's call on the wickets. Well not as plumb as it seemed to the naked eye but that was an extraordinary delivery from Bumrah. It gets a huge wicket for India, Joe Root is gone.

The off stump goes cartwheeling and well, goodness me, take a screenshot of this, Bumrah roaring away in a typical fast bowler's celebration. That is something you expect to see from a Shoaib Akhtar but this is Bumrah and he is in the game. There is some swing as well and so Rohit throws the ball to Siraj for the first time in the innings for the next over as Joe Root walks in.

They kept the Indian batters pinned for the first half an hour and then came the burst of wicket towards the end of the first hour of play as reward for their tenacity. And then, Crawley and Duckett took some time before bringing out their sweeps and reverse sweeps. Crawley was good with some of the more conventional shots as well and while Ashwin did send him back, Duckett and Ollie Pope kept England on the attack throughout the session. It meant that while England started out 190 runs behind, they are only 101 behind at the end of that session.

India vs England Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: SIX! Crawley takes on Axar
India vs England Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Crawley skips down the track to the third ball of the seventh from Axar and sends it over the bowler's head and into the stands. The England openers not really being meek at the moment, to their credit, they are looking to stay on the attack and not allow the spinners to settle into their lengths.

India vs England Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: 4 overs done
India vs England Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: England, as expected, have got off to a far slower start than they did in the first innings. Axar Patel now replaces Bumrah for the fifth over. Bumrah has been as good as a pacer can be in these conditions but it was quite clear from all that has happened in Ashwin's overs that he won't be bowling a long opening spell. Duckett has been sweeping happily and has hardly connected anything while Crawley went far, far forward to the fifth ball from Ashwin, it spun into him, took a slight inside edge before ricocheting off the pads just out of reach for Jaiswal at short leg. Crawley is on 9 off 17, Duckett on 2 off 7.
IND vs ENG Live Score: England 11/0
