India 73-1 (25 ovs) vs England 537 | Scorecard


Off-spinner Moeen Ali to kick off proceedings on Day 3 and facing him is left-hander Gautam Gambhir.

The first ball is defended with a straight back before Gambhir flicks the second ball fine, past wicketkeeper Bairstow for a four.

The left-hander then drives the next ball through the covers for a single to the man on the edge of the circle before Vijay solidly blocks the rest of the over.

Pacer Stuart Broad to bowl from the other end. And he makes a dream start for England, striking with his very first delivery with the wicket of Gambhir.

The first ball is pitched right up as Gambhir gets his feet in a tangle, looking to play across the line, and is struck right in front of the stumps. Broad immediately knew he had got his man as he started celebrating immediately even before the umpire could raise his finger.

Gambhir, who made 29, had a brief chat with non-striker Vijay before deciding to make his way back to the pavilion.

Two men close-in on both sides of the wicket, at short cover and short midwicket for local boy Cheteshwar Pujara. He defends the first two balls before punching the fourth ball straight down the ground past mid-off for a four to get off the mark.
