After a remarkable comeback on Day 2, India will look to restrict England under 300 runs on Day 3 of the first Test at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Birmingham.
Here are the live updates from Day 3:
Ravichandran Ashwin continued to trouble Alastair Cook and got the better of him with a ripper onto his off-stump. Cook was dismissed for a duck as England were 9/1 with a lead of 22 runs at stumps on Day 2. The hosts would look to bat India out of the match with a competitive score.
EaEarlierEngland dominated India throughout the first two sessions but a Virat Kohli special lifted India to safety in the third session. India enjoyed a healthy start to their innings but left-arm pacer Sam Curran took three wickets in consecutive overs to jolt the Indian innings. The rest of the Indian batsmen succumbed to pace but Skipper Kohli survived the probing England bowlers to hit his 22nd Test century and his first in England. Kohli smashed 149 off 225 balls and lifted India from 182/8 to 274/10.
