TEA - DAY 3

India 348-6 (113 ovs) vs England 400 | Scorecard


Jadeja has come out all guns blazing. This time he takes full toll of a short delivery from Root, pulling it over midwicket for a six.

In the next over, Kohli sweeps Rashid fine on the leg side for a four as the Kohli-Jadeja combine look to adopt a positive approach to hit back at the England bowlers, who have been on top since the lunch break.
Kohli misses out on a full toss from Root as he turns it to deep midwicket for just a smile and Jadeja takes one followed by two more singles to make it four runs from the over.

Root is taken off after a superb spell of four in which he claimed two wickets for 14 runs to bring England back into the contest.

He is replaced Moeen, who starts with a long hop which Jadeja pulls over midwicket for a four to take his score to 18 from 22 balls. The two batsmen keep the scoreboard moving with three more singles from the over.

Both the batsmen have shown great resolve to rally India after Root's two-wicket burst, with a brisk stand of 39 runs from 47 balls for the seventh wicket.

England introduce pacer Jake Ball to bowl the final over of the session as Jadeja and Kohli take a single each to take India to 348 for six in 113 overs at the tea break.
