LUNCH - DAY 3

India 247-2 (83 ovs) vs England 400 | Scorecard


Spin from both ends now as Moeen comes in to replace Anderson, from the Media End.

Vijay, on 116, survives a leg before shout courtesy the DRS. He is given out leg before wicket to Rashid as he looks to defend the one going straight on. Umpire Erasmus had given him out as the Indians took the DRS, which showed that Vijay had got a slight inside edge but the ball hit the pads. Vijay survives a close call while England lose one of their two reviews, 12 minutes from lunch.

Vijay then steers a wide ball from Rashid past the slip fielder to collect two runs.

India are 240 for two after 80 overs, scoring at exactly three runs per over. The second new ball is available but England are not taking it straightaway as spinners operate from both ends.

Vijay turns Rashid fine on the leg side and the balls looks destined to hit the ropes till Stokes runs all the way from slips and sprints all the way to fine leg before coming up with a dive just inside the ropes to keep it down to three.

Rashid bowls a beauty to Kohli, gets one to turn big, beating Kohli all ends up, who was looking to defend fro the pitch.

Vijay edes Moeen for two runs to bring up the 100-run stand for the third wicket from 182 balls as India continue to make good progress on Day 3.
