Bairstow saved England from follow-on but India is still on driver seat
After the end of day 3, India is leading by 257 runs and likely to win the game because in the second innings, India has still 7 wickets in hand, which will help India to set the massive target in front of English team.
Day 3 begun with the outstanding catch of Bumrah, which helped Shardul to take the wicket of British skipper, Ben Stokes. His partner, Jonny Bairstow hit impressive century after Kohli's sledging. His strike rate was 21 before the sledging but afterwards, he scored runs with the stunning strike rate of 150 and helped England to reach at 284 in the first innings. Siraj got four wickets whereas Shami took 2 and was the least expensive among all of the Indian bowlers.
India got lead of 132 runs in the first innings and they started their 2nd innings by losing the wicket of Shubhman Gill in the 1st over. Hanuma Vihari made only 11 runs before getting out by Broad. Kohli was looking in good touch but he got out because of the unexpected bounce in the over of Stokes but then, Pant again played beautiful knock and made a crucial partnership with Pujara, who hit fifty, they both are unbeaten and would look to make the lead huge. England bowlers have to take wickets and restrict India from taking the big lead of 370 or 400.
