Ind vs Eng 1st Test Day 3 Highlights: India trail England by 321 runs at stumps
- At stumps, Washington Sundar and Ravichandran Ashwin remained unbeaten for India
- India trail England by 321 runs at the end of Day 3
- The hosts need 122 more runs to avoid follow-on
At stumps, India were 257/6 in reply to England’s massive first innings score of 578 with 122 runs still needed to avoid the follow-on after Pant (91 off 88 balls) and Cheteshwar Pujara (73 off 143 balls) added 119 runs for the fifth wicket.
Washington Sundar (33 batting, 68 balls), primarily a batsman converted into specialist off-spinner, was trying to make amends for his poor show with the ball in company of Ravichandran Ashwin (8 batting, 54 balls), who is never tired of a good on-field scrap, at stumps.
With a couple of days’ play still left, it will be interesting to see if England team management decides to give its bowlers some respite if it gets a chance to enforce the follow-on.
