India's pacers trigger England collapse on Day 3
July 11, 2014 23:09
STUMPS - DAY 3
Eng 352-9 (106 ovs) vs India 457 | Scorecard
- Bhuvneshwar claimed 4-61 and Ishant took 3-109
- Joe Root's unbeaten fifty (78 not out) helps England survive Day 3
Root hit an unbeaten half-century to help England survive the third day. He made 78 from 158 balls, hitting eight fours, putting on an unbroken stand of 54 runs from 87 balls with lastman James Anderson, who stroked 23 from 31 balls.
Ishant Sharma's triple-wicket burst triggered England collapse in the post-lunch session as the hosts lost a flurry of wickets after the lunch break.
He finished with three for 109, while Bhuvneshwar kept chipping away at the wickets to claim four for 61 and Shami bagged two for 98.
India would have been disappointed at not being able to claim the final wicket and finish up England's innings. They are still 105 runs ahead and if they manage to take the last wicket quickly on Day 4, it would put them in pole position to push for a victory on the last two days.
