Earlier in the day, half-centuries by debutant Hanuma Vihari (56) and Ravindra Jadeja (86) helped India reach near England first innings total. Jadeja's 156-ball knock brought the visitors back in the contest as India were once reeling at 160/6.

Jadeja was involved in a 77-run partnership with Vihari before stitching 32 runs with tailender Jasprit Bumrah (0). For England, Moeen Ali, Ben Stokes, and James Anderson scalped two wickets each. Hanuma Vihari Becomes 26th Indian Player to Score a Half-Century or More in Debut Innings

Resuming the third day at 174/6, Vihari and Jadeja played sensibly to get close to England's 332. Vihari also notched up his maiden Test half-century before edging a Moeen Ali delivery to England wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow.

India lost the wicket of Ishant Sharma (4) and Bumrah in the post-lunch session. While Ishant's thick edge went into Bairstow's gloves, Bumrah was run out, the last wicket to fall. (Inputs IANS).
