ENG Beat IND By An Innings And 76 Runs! A sensational bowling display on the fourth day sees England beat India at Leeds by a hefty margin. Ollie Robinson was the star in the second innings, taking his second ever Test five-for.
Wicket! Ollie Robinson completes his five-for as he dismisses Ishant Sharma. Yet another easy catch for Jos Buttler behind the stumps. Ishant c Buttler b Robinson 2(5).
Bowled! Moeen Ali strikes in his very first over of the day as he dismisses Mohammed Shami. The ball lands on one of the footmarks and turns sharply, piercing through Shami's defence, clean bowling him in the process. Shami b Moeen Ali 6(8).
OUT! Ollie Robinson is at it again as the pacer takes his third wicket of the day in Rishabh Pant. Another Indian player heading back to the Pavillion after searching for the ball and handing an easy catch to one of the men behind the stumps. Pant c Craig Overton b Robinson 1(7).
Wicket! A third wicket on Day 4 for English pacers as this time it is Jimmy Anderson who gets among the wickets. Ajinkya Rahane searches for a ball outside off stump, giving an easy catch to Jos Buttler behind the stumps. Rahane c Buttler b Anderson 10(25).
Wicket! Ollie Robinson does it again. A second wicket of the day for the pacer as he dismisses another well-set batsman in Virat Kohli. The Indian skipper had just scored his first half-century of the series but was unable to capitalise. Kohli c Root b Robinson 55(125).
Wicket! Ollie Robinson dies exactly what he was asked off on Day 4 as he dismisses the well-set Cheteshwar Pujara as he was adjudged LBW after a successful review by the hosts. Pujara lbw b Robinson 91(189).
Both Vrat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara have been very watchful at the start of Day 4. The Indian batters are taking a cautions approach with both of them nearing crucial milestones.
We are yet to start with day 4 which will begin in a while. Virat Kohli is on 45 which means he is nearing half-century, whereas, Cheteshwar Pujara is batting on 91 runs and is nearing his century.
Resistance was one word to describe India's performance on day 3 of the match between India and England. After putting up a dismal show in the first innings by getting out on 78, the Indian batting lineup displayed nerves of steel in response to England's total of 432 runs. Talking about the Indian batting line-up they looked quite determined to put up a better performance on the board. Starting with Rohit Sharma who scored his 14th half-century. He also became the second Indian opener to survive 100+ balls in each innings of a Test match in England. India vs England, 3rd Test, Day 3 Stat Highlights: Cheteshwar Pujara, Rohit Sharma Shine For Visitors.
Sharma's fellow opener KL Rahul had a disappointing outing in the second innings as well after getting out on a duck in the first. He was dismissed by Jonny Bairstow just before reaching the double-digit number. He made his way into the pavilion on the score of eight runs. After both openers departed, Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli are the ones who are batting on the score of 91 and 45 runs respectively.
On one hand, where both batsmen would be looking to maintain their calm and focus on their batting, English bowlers will be looking to get wickets and will leave no stone unturned to get rid of Indian batsmen. It would be interesting to see how day 4 pans out for both sides.
