STUMPS | That's the end of day's play. India trail by 321 runs on day three. Good day this for England but India fought back thanks to Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant's partnership. Washington Sundar and Ravi Ashwin are the two unbeaten batsmen at the crease. Do join us back for day four's action.

What a partnership this has been between Cheteshwar Pujara and Rishabh Pant. 80 off 81 ball. Both Pujara and Pant complete their respective half-centuries. Pant, apparently has been aggressive of the two.

Wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant is not shying away from attacking the spinner. He has hit two fours and as many sixes thus far. Pant is on a counterattack and that's working for India as of now.

OUT! Another wicket for Dom Bess. Superb catch this by Joe Root at cover. He dives to his left and takes the catch with one hand. Ajinkya Rahane doesn't last long. A Rahane c Root b Dom Bess 1(6)
