Eng 243-6 (92 ovs) vs Ind 295 | Scorecard

Mohammed Shami comes into the attack after just two overs from Ishant on Day 3. The first ball is a quick bouncer which Prior looks to pull but is beaten and it goes over Dhoni for four byes. The next ball bounces a bit more than expected striking Prior on the thigh pads.

Shami then opens up Prior with a beauty as he gets an edge but the ball falls short of Dhawan at first slip. He then drifts on the pads and Prior flicks it through midwicket for a boundary.

Shami then strikes Prior on the pads with another sharp incoming delivery but an inside edge saves him as the LBW appeal is turned down. The last ball leaves the right-hander who plays inside the line and is beaten as the ball whizzes past the outside edge. A superb over from Shami as he gave Prior a lot of problems and was unlucky not have to picked up his wicket.

Plunkett rocks back and plays a superb drive through the covers off Kumar for a boundary as England continue their good start on Day 3, having scored 24 runs in six overs.
