India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: On Day 2, Ben Duckett’s outstanding 133 puts England 207/2 at stumps. India is now on the defensive despite the visitors’ rapid scoring pace, which has them down by 238 runs. Ashwin and Mohammed Siraj have both grabbed a wicket for India.
On the second day of the third Test match between India and England at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, Ravichandran Ashwin, Dhruv Jurel, and rookie Jasprit Bumrah led a determined reply, as India amassed 445 runs in their first innings. In the opening hour, India lost their overnight batters, Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. But after that, Ashwin and Jurel put on a fierce 76-run partnership to take the eighth wicket. Jurel’s debut Test match saw him fall short of a fifty. Jasprit Bumrah’s lightning-fast 26 helped India add 30 runs for the last wicket.
India were also handed a five-run penalty for a second offence of their batters running on the middle of the pitch. England will start their innings from 5 for 0.
