Eng 352-9 (106 ovs) vs India 457 | Scorecard

India will look to claim the final England wicket as quickly as possible and look to push for victory, on the fourth day.

Joe Root and James Anderson fought back from an England collapse with a stubborn last wicket stand on the third day of the opening Test at Trent Bridge on Friday to leave the Indians frustrated.

India's bowlers had put their side in a commanding position when Ishant Sharma and Bhuvneshwar Kumar tore into the home batsmen after lunch as the host's chased India's 457 in overcast conditions in Nottingham.

England lost six wickets for 68 runs before Root and Stuart Broad provided stubborn resistance with a 78-run partnership and helped them pass the follow-on mark.

When the aggressive Broad (47) fell, followed by Liam Plunkett, tail-ender James Anderson (23 not out) joined Yorkshire batsmen Root, who remains unbeaten on 78, to take England to 352 for nine at the close of play, 105 runs behind India's first innings total.
