Day 3: India vs England Test Series
On the third day of the India vs England test series, the focus shifts to the bowlers as they aim to dismantle England’s batting lineup. With Jasprit Bumrah sidelined, India’s bowlers face a crucial mission of breaking down the English batters. Akash Deep and Mohammed Siraj made important breakthroughs on the previous day, but the challenge remains tough with key players like Joe Root and Harry Brook still at the crease.
Key Highlights from Day 2
Leading the charge for India, Skipper Shubman Gill’s monumental knock of 269 runs put the Indian team in a commanding position with a huge total of 578 on the scoreboard. The bowlers, especially Akash and Siraj, made significant contributions by taking pivotal wickets like Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, and Zak Crawley.
Despite the early breakthroughs, England managed to stabilize towards the end of the day with Harry Brook’s attacking shots and Joe Root’s steady presence at the crease. The battle between the two teams promises an exciting finale.
Record-Breaking Innings by Gill
Gill’s remarkable innings on Day 2 set new records, surpassing Virat Kohli and Sachin Tendulkar to become the highest-scoring Indian Test captain and batsman outside Asia, respectively. His partnership with Ravindra Jadeja was crucial in India’s recovery from a shaky start.
Looking ahead to Day 3, the Indian bowlers will target breaking the Brook-Root partnership early to gain control of the game. With the series level at stake, both teams are geared up for a thrilling contest.
