India vs England Highlights 2nd Test, Day 3: England Score 67/1 At Stumps, Need 332 Runs To Win

"Definitely very pleased but I left a bit out there to be honest. The first one I didn't feel it (inside edge onto pad). Shreyas told me to take it in case it's umpire's call. I saw the point fielder go there and I thought it was a percentage shot. Should've just played the 5-6 overs till tea. Pretty decent wicket to bat on. Not an easy kind of wicket to hit on the rise. Have to apply yourself because the odd one is turning and odd one is keeping low. I think so (getting pulled up by his father for that shot that got him out). I'll get to know once I get back to the hotel but I think so. He comes for most of my games, there's no such pressure. I think it's 70-30 at the moment. Morning session will be key. We've seen there is moisture in the morning and help for fast bowlers and spinners."

That'll be the end on the thrilling third day of the 2nd Test match between India and England. India set England a target of 399 runs out of which they have scored 67 runs and are 332 more away before going 2-0 ahead in the five-match series.

A total of 295 runs were scored and 11 wickets fell on the third day. England need 332 runs to win whereas India are nine-wicket away from their first win in the series.

England need 399 to win. The highest chase ever achieved in India is 387 by India in Chennai in 2008. It will be interesting to watch the intent with which England batters approach their innings on a pitch that has a little for everyone. Back in 10 minutes for the final hour of play.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 255-10 (78.3)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 243-8 (74)*

Wicket! India are throwing wickets here as Tom Hartley strikes this time. Kuldeep went for the big shot but miscued it just to find Duckett inside the circle. Kuldeep departs for 0 as India go eight down.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 229-8 (66)*

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 228-7 (65)*

The tea has been taken on the third day as India stand a bit ahead at the moment with that massive lead. Shubman Gill was the star performer as he smashed a remarkable century to announce his return to the form. Axar did well for the support but fell just short of his half-century. 

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 227-6 (64)*

LBW! Ben Stokes' strategic captaincy has lead to another wicket as Tom Hartley dismisses Axar Patel for 45, trapping him leg before wicket with a low-pitched delivery. Initially given not out, the decision was overturned upon review.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 220-6 (60)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 211-5 (56)

In the face of criticism and a stroke of luck, Shubman Gill prevails, notching his third international test century. A visible sense of relief accompanies the removal of his helmet, and he modestly acknowledges his achievement, casting a glance towards the heavens in a subdued celebration.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 201-4 (52)

Back-to-back boundaries for Gill: first a lofted six down the ground, over the head of Rehan, followed by a lofted sweep over square leg, and finally, a flick on the mid-wicket. He is in his 80s now. What a knock!

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 165-4 (41)

The second session is widely regarded as the best time to bat. With Gill and Axar at the crease, India will be aiming to make the most of this favourable batting period.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 145-4 (37.5)

England's Session! It all started with Anderson's ageless swing bowling spell who removed Rohit Sharma's off pole with a beautifully straightening length ball. Jaiswal, echoing his first innings heroics, edged one to first slip soon after. Gill had a shaky start, surviving an LBW shout due to a faint inside edge. But he notched up his first fifty, partnering with Shreyas Iyer, who looked good until Stokes took a stunner. Patidar's debut was not dreamy as he went out to Rehan. India will be eyeing a lead of at least 400 runs to feel the game is theirs. Be back in 30 minutes.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 130-4 (35)

Gone! Patidar departs for 9 as the ball keeps low from a length, catching a bottom edge. He attempts to punch it square of the wicket, but Rehan Ahmed gets the wicket.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 122-4 (31)

Caught! Skipper Ben Stokes pulls off a stunning catch to dismiss Shreyas Iyer for 29. Iyer attempted to loft a full delivery on the pads, but Stokes dives to make a challenging catch at mid-off. 

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 111-3 (27.1)

Six! Gill dances down the track and goes downtown to hit a flat six. And in the next over he glances one to fine leg for a boundary. After losing quick early wickets, Gill and Iyer are showing some resistance.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 66-2 (18)

Wicket! Anderson strikes again in Vizag, dismissing Jaiswal caught by Root for 17. Both openers now back in the hut. Jaiswal, the double-centurion from the first innings, departs.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 30-2 (8.3)

Bowled! Anderson celebrates as Rohit's off stump takes a stroll. A fuller delivery angles into the stumps, luring Rohit forward. The defence fails, and Anderson gets his first of the innings.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 29-1 (6.4)

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of Day 3 of 2nd test between India and England in Visakhapatnam.

ENG: 253-10 (55.5)

IND: 29-0 (5)

"You always enjoy when you get rewards. In India reverse swing plays a big role. Born in this country, you know how to use it to your advantage. In India, you have to learn how to bowl reverse. I've grown up watching reverse swing set ups, legendary bowlers bowling magical deliveries. To be able to do it now, very happy with that. When you bowl reverse, people try to bowl magical deliveries every other ball. You have to be patient with that. Have to set the batters up. Have to use deliveries wisely. Can't just bowl inswing outswing, inswing outswing. After that Pope delivery, I had in mind they'll be looking out for the inswinger. Was keeping an eye on what the batters were looking to do. Very happy. Try and avoid looking at numbers. When you do that, you build pressure and don't enjoy yourself."

That'll be the end of the play on the second day of the second Test match between India and England. The day completely belonged to India as they bowled England out for 253 runs after scoring 396 runs to take a huge first-inning lead. India scored 28/0 in 5 overs and have a lead of 171 runs in their second innings with Rohit Sharma (13) and Yashasvi Jaiswal (15) at the crease. Jasprit Bumrah was the star performer of the day as he picked up six wickets for just 45 runs also completing 150 Test wickets in between.

IND 2nd inn: 28/0 (5)*

ENG 1st inn: 253 (55.5)

IND 1st inn: 396 (112)

Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal have begun India's 2nd innings as they will look to add more to the 143-run lead. Five runs came off the first over from James Anderson.

IND 2nd inn: 5/0 (1)*

ENG 1st inn: 253 (55.5)

IND 1st inn: 396 (112)

So India will go with a heavy lead of 143 runs as they England out for 253 runs in their first innings. India will bat in the remaining time in the day. This has been a remarkable bowling performance from Jasprit Bumrah as he ended up with incredible figures of 6/54 in 15.5 overs.

ENG: 253/10 (55.5)

IND: 396/10 (112)

That is a fifer for Jasprit Bumrah. His 10th five-wicket haul in tests. Tom Hartley departs after a cameo. England one wicket away from getting all-out.

MAGICAL! 4th wicket for Jasprit Bumrah as England captain Ben Stokes has been bamboozled with a brilliant delivery. ENG 229/8 (49.2)

Rehan Ahmed is the latest to depart as Kuldeep Yadav picks up another one. You have to commend Shubman Gill's contribution in the field. What a catch at short mid-on. ENG 182/7 (42.3)

That is bad defense from Ben Foakes as Kuldeep Yadav decieves him with a leg break. India have their 6th wicket now. ENG 177/6 (40)

England batters are failing to escape the phenomenon that is Jasprit Bumrah. A terrific mix of inswingers and outswingers with reverse on offer. Jonny Bairstow falls. Ben Foakes is the new batter in. ENG 159/5 (35.4)

First over after tea and Jasprit Bumrah bowls a maiden to Jonny Bairstow. There is hint of reverse swing available and Bumrah is making full use of it. ENG 155/4 (34)

India's session! After a solid 59-run opening partnership and another 50-run stand, England faced a setback, losing two quick wickets in quick succession. Zak Crawley's aggressive play kept England in the game with a score of 76 runs in 78 balls. India, however, managed to take wickets at regular intervals. Jasprit Bumrah showcased his reverse swing masterclass, dismissing Joe Root and Ollie Pope. Bairstow and Stokes are currently at the crease for England, aiming to fix the loose ends. We'll be back in 10 minutes.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 155-4 (33)

Bowled! Bumrah is on fire. Ollie Pope goes for 23. Bumrah dismisses Ollie Pope with a lethal inswinging yorker, shattering the stumps. 

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 136-4 (27.5)

Gone! Bumrah gets his first. Joe Root nicks one straight to Shubman Gill at first slip. The reverse-swing is in play.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 123-3 (25.5)

Wicket! Axar to Crawley, caught by Shreyas Iyer. Crawley dances out, toe-ends the slog, and Iyer takes a diving catch. The danger man goes for 76 runs.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 114-2 (22.3)

Everything is unfolding in Vizag. The pitch is exhibiting turn and bounce, but Pope and Crawley are standing firm with their counter-offensive batting. Earlier, Bharat missed the stumping chance of the last match's player of the match on his first ball.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 91-1 (18)

Wicket! Kuldeep Yadav gets the breakthrough as Duckett departs after scoring 21 runs. The ball kicks off a length, Duckett defends, pops to silly point, and Patidar takes a safe catch. Well bowled with good flight, dip, and bounce.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 59-1 (10.2)

England batters take the crease after lunch. The openers will hope to apply 'Bazball' in practice after a good first session. Bumrah-Ashwin in the attack for India. Shubman Gill dropped a tough chance of Crawley.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 38-0 (8)

England's session! England hold the edge after first session of play. Tight bowling, especially from James Anderson, limited scoring for Ashwin and Jaiswal early on. Jaiswal's aggressive play earned him a maiden double hundred, but Ashwin succumbed to Anderson's brilliant delivery. Jaiswal followed suit, attempting to keep the scoring ticking. The tail fell soon after as India only managed to add 60 runs to their overnight total. England openers have looked positive thus far. It will be interesting to see what the Indian spinners get off the surface on a pitch that is offering turn and bounce. Be back in 40 minutes for the afternoon session.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 32-0 (6)

England are off to a good start. Crawley-Duckett duo is looking positive in the middle. For India, Bumrah and Mukesh are bowling the initial overs. It will be interesting to see how soon Rohit brings in spinners on the attack.

IND: 396-10 (112)

ENG: 16-0 (3)

Wicket! Mukesh Kumar is the last batter to depart as Shoaib Bashir gets his third wicket. Fuller delivery, extra bounce, catches edge to Root at slip. Mukesh departs for a duck. England will be happy with their effort, restricting India to a total below 400.

IND: 396-10 (112)

Wicket! Bumrah edges one straight to slip. Rehan gets his third wicket. Pitched fuller, turns away, catches an edge to second slip. Sharp catch by Root. 

IND: 395-9 (110.5)

Gone! Anderson gets the big wicket of Jaiswal. He goes for 209. Full and wide, Jaiswal loses patience, throws bat, slices it high. Bairstow takes a safe catch at extra cover. Applause for Jaiswal's historic knock. 

IND: 383-8 (106.5)

Jasiwal reaches the milestone, his maiden double-century. Exuberance for the Indian batter. He leaps, punching the air, as the crowd erupts in applause.

IND: 375-7 (101.3)

Gone! Ashwin goes for 20. James Anderson picks up his second wicket. Ashwin given out caught-behind, reviews confidently, but UltraEdge shows a clear spike. Anderson's beautiful outswinging good length delivery squares up Ashwin. The ball nicks his bat, clips back thigh, and Foakes makes no mistake at the back.

IND: 364-7 (100.3)

The Indian duo is off to a cautious start, carefully negotiating Anderson with the new ball. Ashwin has entered the double digits, while Jaiswal is taking his time to settle in.

IND: 345-6 (96.4)

Hello and welcome to the live coverage of Day 2 of the second Test between India and England in Visakhapatnam. Both sides will be aiming to gain an early advantage in the game. On one side, India will be looking to surpass 400 in the first session, while the visitors will be eager to quickly wrap up the Indian innings to gain a psychological edge in the game.

"I wanted to play it session by session. When they were bowling well, I just wanted to get through that spell. Initially, the wicket was damp and there was spin and bounce, with a bit of seam. However, I wanted to convert the loose balls, and play till the end. I would love to double this up, and play till the end for the team. I want to recover well for tomorrow now. The pitch played a bit differently, in the morning it was a bit damp and then it settled. With the older ball, there was some bounce. Rahul sir and Rohit bhai kept giving me the confidence and told me to convert this into a big innings, and stay till the end."

That'll be the end of the first day of the second Test between India and England. The hosts did well to score 336/6 in the 93 overs bowled today. Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed a remarkable hundred and will go unbeaten at 179 runs. Ashwin who has 5 runs to his name had a little chat with the umpire but the reason for the same remains unclear at the moment. Overall India had a promising opening day but England did well to bounce back with a few wickets towards the end overs. 

IND: 336/6 (93) Stumps Day 1 

Wicket! Another soft dismissal. Bharat hit that straight to Bashir at backward point. India are losing unnecessary wickets here, that too towards the end minutes of the day. Rehan gets his second of the day as Bhart departs for 17. India are six down now.

IND: 330/6 (91)

Wicket! Oh gone.. Huge success for England towards the end of the opening day as Bashir takes his second of the innings. Axar looked brilliant in the middle but has to go as he found Rehan Ahmed at backward point. He departs for 27 runs and India are five down now.

IND: 301/5 (86)  

Axar was promoted up the order once again and has lived up to the expectations as he plays a good hand in the partnership which is nearing the 50-run mark with Jaiswal for the fifth wicket. Both the batters are looking comfortable out there. Five runs came off that over from Rehan.

IND: 297/4 (83)  

Jaiswal seems to be facing no problems at the moment and continues to dominate the bowlers as he brings up his 150. India are heading towards a strong finish on the opening day.

IND: 272/4 (77)

Wicket! It's so unfortunate to get dismissed like this. Patidar has to head back to the pavilion. He tried to stop the ball through his leg but failed to do so as the ball went on to hit the stumps. A promising innings of 32 runs from Patidar comes to an end.

IND: 249/4 (71.1)

The partnership between Jaiswal and Patidar has crossed the 50-run mark as they remain strong in the middle to keep India strong at the moment.

IND: 232/3 (66)

The tea for Day 1 has been taken and India are strong at the moment with the centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal and debutant Rajat Patidar steady in the middle. The partnership between the two is nearing the 50-run mark with Jaiswal unbeaten on 125 runs whereas Patidar has scored 25 runs.

IND: 225/3 (63), Tea Day 1

Thanks to Jaiswal's quick-fire innings, India have reached 200. Patidar has joined in with a couple of stylish shots on display.

IND: 206-3 (57.2)

Spinner Tom Hartley gets his first wicket of the day as he picked Shreyas Iyer for 27 just after Jaiswal scored his century in the second session. Debutant Rajat Patidar is in the middle with the left-handed opener as India inch 200 mark.    

IND: 193/3 (53)

Jaiswal does it in style! He dances down the track and dislodges one over the long-on region to complete his second Test hundred. What a knock it has been from the young batter. He has looked fearless and dominant throughout his innings. India are in a very good position.

IND: 175-2 (50)

Six by Jaiswal! Root bowls a flighted delivery outside-off Loopy, inviting Jaiswal for a big shot and the batter takes the challenge with both hands, sending it to the stands.

IND: 137-2 (45)

Jaiswal will look to carry on the momentum from the first session of play, while Iyer has a lot to prove to everyone about why he is an important part of the Indian middle order. For England, Anderson continues from one end.

IND: 105-2 (32)

An even session. England will be pleased to claim the wicket of Shubman Gill just before lunch. Rohit departed early while attempting to guide the turner to fine leg. Jaiswal has shown a positive and aggressive approach, securing his second fifty of the series. We will be back shortly for the afternoon session.

IND: 103-2 (31) 

Gone! Anderson gets his first of the match. The veteran spearhead of English attack removes Shubman Gill for 34, caught by Foakes. Fuller delivery outside off, Gill attempts to defend but edges to the keeper. Foakes makes a sharp, diving catch to his right.

IND: 89-2 (28.5)

Gone! Debutant Shoaib Bashir dismisses Indian skipper Rohit for 14 with a quick off-spinner. The ball pitched outside off, sharply spun in, and Rohit's attempted glance ended in an edge to backward square. Caught by Ollie Pope, it's Bashir's first wicket. 

IND: 40-1 (17.3)

After the first half-hour of play, Rohit-Jaiswal looks settled in the middle. There is no major spin movement for Joe Root to trouble the batter, while the legendary Anderson is keeping the batter interested with his swing.

IND: 19-0 (8)

Jaiswal opens up his account with a single as India are off the mark. James Anderson started off with a tight line and length. England are only playing with one pacer in the side.

IND: 1-0 (1)

India: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Shreyas Iyer, Srikar Bharat(w), Ravichandran Ashwin, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Mukesh Kumar, Kuldeep Yadav

England: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes(c), Ben Foakes(w), Rehan Ahmed, Tom Hartley, Shoaib Bashir, James Anderson

India have named Sarfaraz Khan, Washington Sundar and Sourabh Kumar as the replacements for Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul who suffered an injury in the first match. While Rahul is expected to return in the third test, Jadeja is doubtful for the entire series.
