STUMPS - DAY 3

India 391-4 (108 ovs) vs England 477 | Scorecard

A good day of cricket, dominated by the Indian batsmen on a wicket not offering much to the bowlers.

Rahul led the way with a flawless knock of 199, hitting 16 fours and three sixes in his 311-ball knock, before he fell late in the day one run short of his maiden double century in Tests.

His Karnataka team mate Karun Nair showed great application to be unbeaten on 71 from 136 balls for his maiden half-century in Tests.

Vijay, batting at No. 6 after he could not open because of injury, was unbeaten on 17 at stumps on the third day.

It was a hard toil for the England bowlers on a flat pitch with Moeen, Stokes and Rashid picking up a wicket each.

They trail England's score by 86 runs and would be looking for another good day tomorrow and take a sizeable lead to push for victory.
