India vs England Live Cricket Score, 1st Test Day 3: The honours were shared in the first session of Day 3 as Harry Brook powered England’s charge while Prasidh Krishna and Mohammed Siraj picked two wickets for India. India were beginning to look frustrated by Harry Brook and Ben Stokes after they got an early breakthrough in the form of centurion Ollie Pope. They were complaining about the ball and looking visibly irritated by the umpire not agreeing to their assessment. However, all that changed when Stokes was dismissed by Mohammed Siraj against the run of play.

The visitors would have been hoping for better assistance for Jasprit Bumrah from the rest of their pacers on Day 3 and there was an early positive sign for the visitors in that regard as Prasidh Krishna dismissed centurion Ollie Pope with the first ball of just the third over of the day. Pope’s century and his 122-run stand with Ben Duckett for the second wicket on Day 2 put England in command in the first Test between England and India at Headingley in Leeds on Saturday. The home team trails India by 262 runs with seven wickets in hand, leaving the match finely poised after the first two days.

IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: OUT! BRILLIANT WORK AT THE BOUNDARY BY JADEJA AND SUDHARSAN!
Well Smith goes for one shot too many, one has to wonder the sensibility behind this approach but that is an excellent combination catch by Jadeja and Sudharsan.
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: A good start for England
They are looking to make the most of this old ball and so far, so good. 16 runs have come off the first two overs of this session with Brook looking completely in control. Prasidh to bowl the 80th over now.
Brook is on 68 off 85, Smith on 34 off 49.
England 343/5 in 79 overs, trail by 128 runs
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: The players walk out!
All right it’s time for the second session of the day! Harry Brook and Jamie Smith walk out, with the latter on strike. Prasidh Krishna has the ball in his hands, set to bowl the 78th over, his 15th.
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Seconds ticking down to the start of the 2nd session
Right, the new ball is due in just three overs and it is a “new” old ball that India have in their hands anyway. This could be a huge session in the context of this Test, if India can get a couple of wickets early on, they are into England’s tail and things can unravel pretty quickly from there. On the other hand, England will gain a lot of confidence if Smith and Brook can hold on for a little over the first hour of this session.
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: LUNCH! England 327/5 in 77 overs, trail by 144 runs
Eight runs in that 77th over, Brook is on 57 off 77, Jamie Smith on 29 off 45. A tied first session. Brook has held things up for England while wickets from Siraj and Prasidh has helped India make good progress as well. If they keep going at this rate then England should draw level by Tea but the new ball is due in three overs and they are down to their last five wickets. It means that one could argue that India are marginally ahead at this point.
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: 50-run partnership in 71 balls between Brook and Smith
Bumrah bowling the 77th over, which will surely be the last one before Lunch. The first ball clips Brook’s pads nad goes behind for four leg byes. Brook extraordinarily tries to ramp the third ball and misses. Then he flicks away the overpitched fourth ball and the batters run three to make it 50 runs between them.
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: India get their wish, the ball is being changed in the 74th over
And Shubman Gill brings back Jasprit Bumrah straightaway. India ask the umpires to check the ball again after the 74th over by Jadeja, it doesn’t go through that ring and the fourth umpire runs out with the briefcase containing alternative cherries.
Just six overs to go for the new ball, Jadeja is in rhythm and now England have to deal with Bumrah from the other end. This should be interesting.
Brook on 52 off 69, Jamie Smith on 23 off 35 balls.
England 310/5, trail by 161
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Fifty for Harry Brook!
Single off Jadeja’s last ball in the 72nd over does the job. Brook has got to his 12th Test fifty in 65 balls. What a valuable knock this is from the batter for his side, he has pretty much held up England’s scoring rate today.
England 305/5 in 72 overs
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: DROPPED! Pant puts Brook down
Jadeja’s first delivery of the 72nd over is edged, tough chance for Pant to hold on to the point-blank range deflection. It goes off his gloves and he tries to catch it while going down. Fails to do so.
England 300/5 in 71.1 overs
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Shardul “Beefy” Thakur into the attack
Brook moved to 46 off 58 with a four off the last ball of the 68th over by Jadeja. The pressure had been building on England until then. Now here comes Shardul Thakur, this could mean a lot of wickets for India or a lot of runs for England, or even both.
England 286/5 in 68 overs
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: GONE! SIRAJ GETS STOKES!
EDGED AND GONE! Siraj draws him with a full delivery fifth ball, moves away just that little bit to sucker Stokes in. The England batter hangs his bat out, edged and Pant. He then throws the bat in the air in frustration. A wicket against the run of play for India.
Stokes c Pant b Mohammed Siraj 20 (52)
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Brook into the 40s
Well, England are just hurtling along here. Siraj’s first ball in the 65th, Brook takes a step down the track and blasts it through covers for four. Siraj’s shoulder sagging here, and India looking increasingly frustrated. They have stopped complaining about the ball at last though.
England 275/4 in 64.1 overs
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Pant throws the ball away in disdain!
Siraj bowling the 61st over and right at the start, Bumrah showed the ball to the umpire, asking for it to be changed. The umpire shakes his head. After the fifth ball, Pant takes it to the umpire who puts it through that ring. It goes through cleanly, Pant still complaints though and when the umpire refuses to budge, he throws the ball away in disdain, drawing some boos from the crowd.
India are desperately looking for something here, Stokes and Brook looking completely untroubled.
At the end of the 61st over, Brook on 35 off 44 balls, Stokes on nine off 34.
England 259/4 in 61 overs
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: FOUR! Stokes with his first boundary…
… and it is off the last ball bowled by Siraj in the 59th over. He comes in as second change, replacing Bumrah. Stokes and Brook take a single each off the fourth and fifth balls and then the former drives the last ball right down the ground past mid off for four. That raises England’s 250 as well.
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Ravindra Jadeja is into the attack
All right then, first over of spin in the day and Jadeja comes in as first change in 58th over. He is replacing Prasidh. Brook is on strike, having scored 26 off 31 balls, Stokes on three off 23.
England 244/4 in 57 overs, trail by 227
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: FOUR! Brook hurtling along
Wow, a sumptous cover drive on the up by Brook off Prasidh’s fifth ball of the 56th over. It is a fullish length outside off, Brook makes it look effortless. What a start this has been for the England limited overs captain.
He is on 26 off 31 balls at the end of that over, Stokes on three off 17.
England 244/4 in 56 overs, trail by 227 runs
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Brook taking on Bumrah!
Pope had hit a four off the first ball that the great man bowled today. Now Brook hits another off the first ball of Bumrah’s second over. On a length outside off, Brook actually jumps down the track (!!!!) and smashes it through cover for four. Not too many times have we seen a batter treat Bumrah like that in Test cricket, or any format really. He takes a single next ball and Stokes fends off the rest of the deliveries.
Brook on 15 off 21, Stokes on two off nine.
England 232/4 in 54 overs, trail India by 239 runs
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: GONE! It’s Pope and Prasidh strikes!
There is the breakthrough India were looking for and it is also the centurion. Short and wide for the first ball of his second over of the day after Bumrah bowls the 51st, Pope tries a cut and ends up getting a thin edge to Pant. Not the greatest of deliveries from Prasidh but it does the job.
It also brings out England captain Ben Stokes, who had earlier put in a lion-hearted effort with the ball.
Pope c Pant b Prasidh Krishna 106 (137)
England 225/4, trail bby 246 runs
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: FOUR AND SIX! Brook off the mark in style
The normal Bazballer way of getting off the mark of course. Pope gets off strike first ball and Brook pushes the second to cover, gets beaten off the third and defends down the fourth. The fifth is short and wide from Prasidh and Brook flays it through point for four. Prasidh goes back of a length sixth ball outside off, Brook pulls it with aplomb into the stands.
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: HERE WE GO ON DAY 3!
Prasidh Krishna steaming in for India, his 11th over, India’s 50th and the first of the day. Ollie Pope is on strike. Harry Brook at the other end, having got a life yesterday when he was caught off a no ball by Bumrah in the last over of the day. Here we go!
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Seconds away from start of play…
The Indian team is in a huddle, the loose ends of the players shirts and sweaters and pants flapping in the gust at windy Headingley. It is overcast as well, which is always magic dust for any pacer in England. Perfect chance for us to recap where we stand in this match:
England are 209/3 in 49 overs, trail India by 262 runs, Ollie Pope is batting on 100 off 131 balls, Harry Brook yet to get off the mark after facing 12 balls. All three English wickets have fallen to the absolutely incredible Jasprit Bumrah, who has figures of 3/48 in 13 overs.
IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Handspring? Somersault? Well, it’s just Rishabh Pant!
So what did Rishabh Pant do after scoring his century? What is it that he seems to have decided to make his signature celebration, having pulled it off first to widespread applause in LSG’s last game this season in the IPL? Well, somersault is what slipped out of everyone’s mouths but, in gymnastics-speak, it isn’t. And Pant has a bit of a history with gymnastics so he himself would correct you before anyone else, probably. Read more here!

79 – Pant also surpassed Dhoni’s Test sixes tally, becoming India’s third-highest six-hitter in the format behind Virender Sehwag (90) and Rohit Sharma (88). Only Adam Gilchrist has smashed more sixes (100) among wicket-keepers.

IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Report – Day 2 | Listless bowling, dropped catches make it a Jasprit Bumrah solo salvo
Jasprit Bumrah didn’t celebrate Ben Duckett’s wicket for too long. He was thinking ahead, England was 126/2 and India needed more wickets urgently to justify bowling under a largely overcast day, all day. Joe Root was entering the field and Bumrah had sniffed an opportunity. He signaled KL Rahul to move to slips from covers. Rahul would put some loose mud from the crease to dry his hands. He knew a catch would come his way. He wasn’t the only one who knew that Bumrah has Root’s number, he has got him 9 times. This was India’s chance to strike a vital blow and it was Bumrah, the best bowler in Tests by miles, who was expected to do the honours. Both Root and Ollie Pope survived that short Bumrah storm, but not the day. But they did give England that all-important breathing time.

IND vs ENG Live Score, 1st Test Day 3: Bumrah’s number game
148* – With his second wicket in the England innings, Jasprit Bumrah surpassed Wasim Akram (146) for most SENA wickets among Asian pacers. Bumrah’s strike rate (45.6) betters Akram’s (55.7) with both featuring in 32 matches.
39.5 – Bumrah’s strike rate in the ICC World Test Championship for 159 scalps is only bettered by Kagiso Rabada (39.1) for 160 wickets.
54 – Bumrah is the only bowler to record 50-plus bowled dismissals in Tests since the year of his debut in 2018.
10 – Bumrah dismissed Joe Root for the 10th time in 25 meetings, with the Englishman only averaging 29. It is the most Bumrah has dismissed any batter in Test cricket. Only Pat Cummins (11) has dismissed Root more times in Test cricket, with the Australian and Bumrah both accounting for Root 14 times across formats, the joint-highest.
Why handspringing Rishabh Pant is a box-office superstar in traditional Leeds
Anyone who was at Headingley on Saturday, be it English, Indian or neutral, would tell you why Test cricket needs the delightfully entertaining and daringly innovative Rishabh Pant. Centuries by Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill on Day 1 were high art, they were exhibits of cricket correctness, the kind fans in these parts have appreciated for centuries.
But on Day 2, at the home ground of England’s most traditional county, Yorkshire, Pant put up a show that had sights and strokes the locals would not have imagined, forget seen. Pant, unbeaten on 65, took a little more than an hour to be India’s third centurion as the visitors continued to flex the batting muscle. He scored a box-office knock of 134 from 178 balls. This was followed by an anti-climax of wickets falling in a clutch. At lunch, India were 457/7. The cloud was overcast and the bowlers were smiling again but not everyone was mesmerised by the Pant magic.
