Jadeja continues. Six runs off the over including Jadeja’s sixth no-ball of the innings. 

Ashwin to bowl the last over of the day. A halftracker from him and it is punished by Rehan to the midwicket boundary for a boundary. ENG finishes in 316/6. Lead by 126 runs. Stumps Day 3

Bumrah continues. Length ball angling into Rehan, defended solidly. Outside off, Rehan punches to point where Siraj misfields. Single taken. 

Jadeja continues. Full on the stumps, driven to long off for a single. Rehan stays back to a full ball but manages to push it onto the offside for a single. 

Bumrah into the attack. Angling in to the stumps, Pope flicks it through the leg side for another boundary. Looks like a bit of cramp for Bumrah. Physio out to check on him. Full outside off from Bumrah, beats Rehan’s attempted drive. 

Pope pushes a full ball to the left of long off to get a couple. England now with the lead of 100.

Rohit takes a catch at slip and appeals but looks like it came off the pad. Pitched way outside leg stump so no danger off LBW as well. Rehan looks to go inside out. Doesn’t get it out of the middle but falls short of Ashwin at deep cover.

Good tight over from Axar. The last ball turns and bounces off a length, beating Rehan all ends up. 

Jadeja with his 23rd over. Turn again, beats Pope as he prods forward to defend. Full on leg stump, Pope laps it over his own head and gets it behind for a boundary. Now he brings out the reverse sweep but will only get a single.

Axar continues. Pope brings out the paddle sweep to loft it over Rohit at slip and to the boundary for four. WICKET!!! Straighter one from Axar, keeps low and Foakes sees the bails dislodged. That kept very very low.

Rehan Ahmed in at 8. Jadeja continues, beats Rehan’s outside edge with ripper. Four!! Wide this time and shorter, Rehan cuts it through the offside for a boundary.

Axar continues. Single to short fine leg for Foakes. Turn again, beats the batter and keeper and the batter gets a bye. 

Pope attempts another reverse against Jadeja, doesn’t get it right but the edge goes over slip and to the boundary for four. Foakes is beaten twice in two balls after pitching on leg but the ball misses the stumps as well.

Axar into the attack. A boundary to midwicket for Pope. Turn for Axar from leg stump. The bounce saves Foakes from being castled. 

Change of ends for Jadeja. Turn again. Beats Pope outside off. Four!! Reverse sweep from Pope, finds the gap on the offside and gets a boundary. Dropped! Swept again uppishly, Axar jumps but can’t hold on to it. A four off the very next ball to cover to make matters worse.

Jadeja to Foakes, overpitched on the stumps, Foakes drives down the ground for a single. Century!! Full on the stumps, Pope flicks to cow corner for three and completes an exceptional hundred. 

Ashwin again. But a change of ball before that. Full outside off. Pope misses the sweep. Ricochets off Bharat’s pads for a bye. Three from the over.

Jadeja into the attack. Pope takes a single to move to 96. Foakes is beaten on the outside edge.

Ashwin continues from the other end. Pope steps down and defends right back to the bowler. After a fidgety first two balls, he manages to get a single. 

Ollie Pope continues attempt reverse sweeps despite not being able to time most of them well. Indians continue to wait for one magic ball or England batters to make mistake. 

Siraj is here now. He too concedes eight runs in his first over of the spell although the boundary came as a four-byes. 

R Ashwin is back into the attack. England welcomes him with a 11-run over. 

Bowlers are making sure there are no lose balls. Although ground fielding hasn’t been that great today. 

Bumrah getting the ball to reverse into the right hander just a tad bit. Bowlers will need to work hard for wickets here. Still a decent enough pitch to score runs. 

Jasprit Bumrah is back into the attack. Not much movement out there. Plan is to attack the stumps. 

England has now taken a lead. How far can it be stretched? Ollie Pope is the perfect person right now who can answer this. 

Five runs in the last two overs. The pitch is slow so length will be key here for the Indians. Back of the length might not work here for Axar and Jadeja here which they have been bowling in this session so far. 

Jadeja from the other end. Ashwin’s misfield in the deep gets Pope a boundary on the second ball of the over. 

Axar Patel to begin proceedings. Pope takes a single on the first ball. Foakes ends the over with a boundary. 

England is five down and still trails by 18 runs. How much can it add from here? Pope is there and playing well. 

Jadeja continues. After a few fuller ones turning away from the right-hander, Jadeja gets one to straighten and hit the pad, but it was going down leg. Tea Break!!

Axar replaces Ashwin. Keeps it on an off-stump line with the odd ball straightening. Dealt with well by the batters. Maiden over. 

Jadeja gets some turn and bounce, beats Pope’s outside edge. Shorter in length to close out the over, Pope goes onto the backfoot and is beaten on the edge again.

Ashwin has a fielder right behind him for Pope. A fuller length ball is pushed to his right and Pope comes back for the second. Pope gets down to sweep, is beaten in the flight and the ball thuds into his body.

Jadeja gets one to turn and keep low. beating Stokes on his attempted reverse sweep. TIght over, just two runs from it.

Ashwin continues from the other end. Pope miscues his attempted sweep, hangs in the air but falls well short of the fielder in the deep. WICKET!! Cleaned him up!! Stokes is gone. Full on leg stump, turns and removes the off pole. 

Stokes b Ashwin 6(33)

Foakes in at 7. A straighter one first up, beats him on the outside edge.

Jadeja to Stokes, full, reverse swept to deep backward point for a single. Quite an open field for Stokes but he’s quite happy to play the defensive game for now. 

Ashwin continues to tighten the screws on Stokes. Maiden over for the offie.

Pope continuing on in the same vein after his fifty. Four!! Jadeja goes full and Pope sweeps through midwicket for another boundary.

Ashwin with a beauty against Stokes. Turn and bounce to beat the batter. Bharat removes the bails in a flash and the umpire sends it upstairs for a stumping check. Very very close that but the umpire gives it not out. Stokes gets a leading edge but the ball falls well short of the man at 45. 

Full toss from Ashwin, Pope steps down and flicks it through midwicket for a boundary and brings up his fifty in the process. 

Jadeja now!! Bairstow is shocked. The ball didn’t turn. Jadeja’s last ball turned, beating Bairstow’s outside edge. Next ball, same length, Bairstow lets the ball go and watches it crashing into the off stump. Superb bowling. 

Ben Stokes walks in. 

Axar Patel into the attack now. Pope comes down the track and smacks Axar for four over the head. 

Bairstow and Ollie Pope have decided to play out Bumrah and try to open their arms against Jadeja. Pope attempted two reverse sweeps off Jadeja in this over: one went for four, he was beaten on the other. 

Ravindra Jadeja is into the attack now. Two runs from the over. 

Suddenly the run rate has dried up. England probably waiting for this Bumrah spell to finish. 

Bumrah strikes again! This time it is Root who departs. Came back into the right hander and hits the front pad. Umpire raised the finger immediately but Root thought there’s an inside edge and reviewed immediately. However, there was nothing on the ultra edge and the ball tracking suggested umpire’s call. A terrific spell by Bumrah this. 

Now Mohammed Siraj is into the attack. Looks like India wants to extract as much movement as possible. Two runs in that over. 

Bumrah strikes! That came into the left hander. Duckett was in no position to defend it and the off stump goes for a toss. Bumrah is pumped up. Two boundaries earlier in that over have all been recovered. Team India in a huddle after that wicket. 

Joe Root in at number four. 

Jasprit Bumrah from the other end. A huge appeal for LBW against Duckett. Ball came back in sharply for the left hander but umpire isn’t interested. A discussion in the Indian camp but no review taken. 

R Ashwin to begin the proceedings with Pope on strike. A single on the first ball. Five runs in that over. Pope and Duckett have now added 49 runs in 40 balls. 

Ollie Pope and Ben Duckett coming out as England trails by 101 runs. Team India in a huddle. How many wickets will the bowlers get in this session?

Jadeja in for the last over before lunch. Full outside off, driven to deep point for a single. Four!! Down leg side and Bharat misses it. Runs away to the boundary for four. Lunch on Day 3. England trail by 101 runs.

Axar continues. Four!! Touch too wide and Pope plays a late cut to get another boundary. Next ball keeps a little low and Pope does well to adjust. Four!! Second four off the over, this time its Duckett.

Ashwin continues. Duckett misses his reverse sweep, appeals for caught behind but nothing from the umpire. Review not taken as well.

Fifty up for England with a double for Duckett to the offside. Four!! Good connection with the reverse sweep and Duckett gets another boundary. Four!! Another reverse sweep another boundary.

Four!! Ashwin provides a full toss and Duckett takes full toll. 

Wicket slowing down quite a lot now. Axar’s first ball of the over is punched through extra cover for three. Duckett turns one to the legside for a single. Was very close to the short leg fielder.

WICKET!! Ashwin gets one to go straight with the angle. Manages to catch Crawley’s outside edge and Rohit has an easy catch at slip.

Crawley c Rohit b Ashwin 31(33)

Ollie Pope in at 3. Gets off the mark with a couple. Tries a reverse next ball but only manages to sweep it into the keepers pads.

Six!! Crawley steps down and lofts Axar right back down the ground for six. Positive footwork from the opener. Four!! Duckett connects his reverse sweep and gets another boundary.

Crawley misses his sweep against Ashwin. Appeals for LBW but the impact was outside off. Four!! Boundary to finish the over to extra cover from Crawley.

Axar into the attack. Duckett attempts a reverse sweep but the ball bounced a touch too much and he misses his swipe. Two runs from the over.

Duckett brings the reverse against Ashwin but he finds short third to perfection. Four!! Crawley goes the same route but manages to get it through the vacant cover region for a boundary.

Ashwin continues. Chance!! Ashwin comes around the wicket to Crawley and forces him to fend off the front foot. Wasn’t very far away from the short leg fielder.

Four!! Slightly wide from Bumrah, Crawley punches it through the covers for a boundary. Bumrah brings out the slower delivery but it is well outside off and left alone.

Ashwin starts from the over end. Gets the inside edge of Duckett first ball. Trickles past short leg and he gets a single. Four!! Crawley brings out the reverse sweep right after almost being caught at short leg. 

Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett walk out to the middle. 191 runs the first target for England to prevent an innings defeat. 

Bumrah gets proceedings underway in the second innings. Maiden over to start with.

Rehan Ahmed from the other end. OUT! Axar is bowled as he tries to make a room. India all out with a lead of 190 runs. 

Root strikes! Jadeja has been trapped in front. Umpires raises his finger. Jadeja reviews though. Looks like the ball has touched both bat and pad at the same time. Will be a very tough call to be made. Wickets and Impact both umpire’s call and Jadeja walks back after scoring 87. 

Jasprit Bumrah is the new man in. OUT! Golden duck. Through his defence and cleans up the stumps. India is suddenly nine down. 

Mohammed Siraj, number 11, to face the hat-trick ball. Presses forward and defended. 

Jack Leach into the attack replacing Mark Wood. Axar drives him for four twice in the over. Good over for India. 

India in no mood to take any risks. Looks like Axar and Jadeja have been asked to bat as long as possible, accumulate as many runs as they can to completely bat England out of the game. 

Just one ball has troubled Jadeja so far today. Root turning it away and almost taking the outside edge off Jadeja’s bat. 

Just two runs coming in the last two overs. Root and Wood are right on the money while Jadeja and Axar are happy to take their time this morning. 

Joe Root from the other end. Another one-run over. Indian batters in no hurry. 

Mark Wood to begin the proceedings today. Round the wicket. Jadeja takes a quick single on the very first ball of the day. Just a single from the first over. 

Players are out in the middle. How much more can India add to the 175-run lead? Will Jadeja reach his hundred? All these questions will be answered shortly. Stay tuned. 

For now though, the team is only thinking about the remaining three Indian wickets.
