12 batters were out bowled this game, it's the most since 1955. It's also the joint second-most since World War 1 (1919), Sampath informs

4:50pm: Target for India to go 2-1 up is 193. They bowled brilliantly today, started well but didn't have the wickets to show for in the middle. Washington then took over, got the well-set Root and Stokes. Those two batted well as the ball softened. Washington also got Smith, the centurion from the last game. He drifted it, spun it and deceived batters in the air. 17 for 4 in the last ten overs. Bumrah came back to help clear the tail too. Chase starting soon.

Parth: "It couldve been a lot worse.. Could be 200-5 with the attack stokes and root were going. Who would be the happier side here? With a 191 lead at 9 down. If India were batting and were at this stage, would they be happy? "
