India vs England 3rd Test Day 3 Report: Siraj takes four while Kuldeep bowls an entire session
In order to India vs England 3rd Test Day 3 Report. The day started with the sad news that R Ashwin had to leave the Test match midway on Friday evening because of a medical emergency in his family. The BCCI vice president, Rajiv Shukla, revealed on Twitter that Ashwin’s mother’s health is not well, and hence the off-spinner had to rush to Chennai.
The task for the other four bowlers was cut out in the absence of the senior off-spinner, and the four bowlers hunted in a pack on Saturday to force England into a collapse. England went from 224/2 to 319 all-out as the hosts took a lead of 126 runs, which, in the context of the deteriorating pitch, was huge.
As per the India vs England 3rd Test Day 3 Report. After being blasted by Ben Duckett on Day 2, the Indian bowlers assessed their lines and corrected them on Day 3, keeping outside the off-stump a lot more today than they did yesterday. The pressure built, and the new tactics worked.
First, it was Joe Root who fell to Jasprit Bumrah for the ninth time in Test cricket. Having scored only 18 runs in his innings, Root brought out his famous reverse-ramp against Bumrah and mis-hit it straight to Jaiswal at second slip. Jonny Bairstow bagged a duck as Kuldeep trapped him lbw.

Kuldeep was all over the England batters today, troubling them with his dip and googly, and bowled brilliantly throughout almost the session. Duckett was finally dismissed for 153, giving a simple catch to Gill at cover off Kuldeep’s bowling.
After lunch, India were fired up even more and didn’t give away anything to England. Ben Stokes tried to break his shackles against Jadeja with a slog sweep, but Jadeja had fired it outside the off-stump, and a miscue was caught by Bumrah at long-on. On the next ball, Foakes chipped Siraj to mid-on. Siraj and Jadeja ran through the tailenders to bowl England out for 319.
As per India vs England 3rd Test Day 3 Report, After the hammering they received yesterday and with R Ashwin unavailable, this was a seriously good performance the four bowlers put on today.
Jaiswal returns the favor to England with a Ballastic Ton
India’s 30-run opening stand was broken by Root with the lbw dismissal of Rohit Sharma. After that, though, the hosts pressed on their lead. Jaiswal and Gill remained assured in building a platform for themselves, before the left-hander unleashed himself.
Jaiswal scored 35 runs in his first 73 balls and then smashed 65 runs in his next 49 balls to bring up another exhilarating century. He hit a flurry of boundaries to all bowlers who bowled to him across both sides of the pitch, and fittingly reached the milestone with a four. He walloped 9 fours and 5 sixes in his knock of 104 (133), but had to retire hurt due to back pain.
At the other end, Shubman Gill looked the best he’s done in this series as he thumped a couple of maximums, including an elegant pull six to Wood. In the dying light of the day, Rajat Patidar, who came in after Jaiswal retired hurt, lobbed a simple catch to Rehan at mid-wicket for a duck. Gill and Jaiswal’s partnership of 155 (195) has put India on course for a lead of 450.
