India Vs England Day 3 Live Score And Updates: India Finishes At 90/2 At Day 3, Rahul Nearing A Potential Half Century

The game so finely poised at the moment. Can't say who is ahead at the moment. The day started off with Brook and Stokes and the former stroked his way to 99 before finding deep backward square-leg with a top-edge. Contributions from Jamie Smith, Woakes and Carse helped Brook as England were bowled out just 6 short of India's first-innings total. Bumrah who saw catches dropped off his bowling today too, did not let that deter him as he took his 12th fifer away from home, joining Kapil Dev in the process. So that turned the game effectively into a one-innings shootout and

Stokes to Rahul, 1 run, tight run and Rahul is in even as the throw is well wide of the stumps. A short of length delivery on the stumps, turned in front of Woakes at mid-on, he gets there but throws off-balance and Rahul realised he was in trouble, so dives full-length to make it

Brydon Carse to Rahul, FOUR, beautiful. Just beautiful. Already Rahul has looked world-class and more than that in this innings. Add this shot to the beautiful list. A half-volley outside off, he gets forward and relies on timing and placement, caresses it and it runs through the vacant cover region for four, technique at its very best there

Brydon Carse to Rahul, no run, short of length and rising just outside off, Rahul lets it go

Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, FOUR, short at Jaiswal and he pulls nicely, got inside the line and pulls to the deep backward square-leg fence, fine-leg is very square but it was well wide of him, was in the air but in the gap

Bumrah to Josh Tongue, out Bowled!! Fifer for the incomparable Bumrah. He waves his finger at the heavens as he seems to thank someone. Siraj is out there mobbing him. Soon the entire team is near him to congratulate. He walks off ball-raised to a standing ovation. What a bowler. No words can do justice to him. This is a fine delivery, short of length and angled in to off, Josh Tongue plays down the wrong line on the back foot defence, misses, the off-stump is pegged back.

Siraj to Brydon Carse, out Bowled!! A look of relief more than anything else on Siraj's face! Amidst all the short-bowling, it's actually the fuller one that brings the wicket. Pitched right up on off-stump, Brydon Carse had moved away very early, gave himself plenty of room, too much room in the end and he had to reach out to try and keep it out. Didn't lay a bat on it in the end and it smashed the base of off-stump. Fairly muted celebrations from India but boy did they need that. Big partnership has been broken.

Prasidh to Brydon Carse, FOUR, streaky but it hardly matters! Good length delivery just outside off, Brydon Carse was caught in his crease and it brushed the inside edge after nipping back in, Pant had no chance

Bumrah to Brook, 1 run, dropped by Jaiswal at gully. India keep dropping catches. Bumrah closes his eyes with his hands as he soaks in the disappointment. A short of length delivery outside off, poor shot from Brook, in fact a nothing one, like Root yesterday, dabs and gives Jaiswal catching practice, went quickly but at a good heigh, he shells it. The slip cordon watches on helplessly. That should have been taken. Yesterday India dropped 3 catches off Bumrah, today one more off Bumrah

Bumrah to Woakes, byes, FOUR, that has flown from a spot and gives Pant no chance. Definitely hit a crack or something there, on a length well outside off, Woakes misses the drive and it jumps from that awkward spot, Pant leaps with an outstretched right hand to his right but the ball eludes him

Prasidh to Jamie Smith, FOUR, short outside off, sits up though

Jadeja to Brook, 1 run, full and on the stumps, Brook leans forward and drives to long-on. 12th Test fifty for Brook. He struggled against Bumrah in the last over yesterday. Put on a bold face today morning and took on Bumrah

Thakur to Jamie Smith, no run, overturned! Good review from Smith in the end, he'll be glad that isn't the way he departs. Full and tailing into the stumps, Smith had shuffled down the pitch looking to whip it away and it hit his front pad on the full, umpire Chris Gaffaney thought about it and raised the finger. Nothing on UltraEdge, impact in line but just about missing the base of leg-stump!

Siraj to Stokes, out Caught by Pant!! Siraj has got the England captain. He roars and says come onnn! Stokes knows he's played a bad shot. Throws his bat up in disappointment, catches and clutches it between his jaw and chest as he walks back. Stokes c Pant b Siraj 20(52) [4s-3]

Siraj to Stokes, FOUR, edged and into the gap! Good length delivery on off-stump, Stokes

Bumrah to Stokes, no run, Stokes flashes and misses! First one he's gone after, pitched up fuller and wider outside off, Stokes went hard looking to go through cover and missed. He's 3 off 20, probably under a bit of artificial pressure to live up to Bazball standards

Prasidh to Pope, out Caught by Pant!! Edged and taken! This is exactly what India needed, not just the wicket but someone other than Bumrah proving that they can take them as well! Short and wide outside off, Pope's eyes lit up and he slashed hard looking to cut, just a bit of extra bounce and nip meant that it caught a healthy outside edge through to Pant. The centurion departs after adding just 6 runs to his overnight tally.
