India would be pleased with how every bowler stepped up to fill in the Ashwin-sized hole in their attack. Siraj finishes with 4-84 with a strong return spell after lunch, while Kuldeep impressed in the morning. Bumrah and Jadeja solid as ever. Andrew Miller will be back to start off the third innings.

Prashu: "England lost their last 8 wickets for 95 runs. Amazing comeback from India after England's bazball session yesterday."

S Kishore: "The last wicket ball by Siraj to Anderson reminded similar to India's Lords test match 2021 victory when he picked his wicket by knocking off the bails."

12.52pm The camera pans towards the England fans at the ground and they're shaking their heads in disappointment. The Indians jog back, smiles on their faces. India take a 126-run lead.

It took India only 40 mins to wrap things up after lunch, with the visitors losing their last five wickets for only 20 runs. The first session began with Joe Root's dismissal triggering a slide. This session it was Ben Stokes' wicket. And England find themselves in a very tough spot, having started day three not so long back as the team that was ahead in this Test match.

Sulaiman: "If I were the English coach, I would have replaced Bairstow with Dan Lawrence given his FC record. "

Jadeja to Wood, FOUR, paddle sweep! Full ball just outside off. Wood gets his front leg right in front, then turns the bat around the corner, and ends up playing a delightful shot around the corner to fine leg

Jadeja to Wood, no run, full ball just outside off. Wood gets forward to block

Jadeja to Anderson, 1 run, full ball on off and Anderson with a reverse sweep down to deep backward point. That technique impressed Sunil Gavaskar on the broadcast

Jadeja to Hartley, OUT, Jurel makes no mistake! Jadeja perhaps expected Hartley would come down the track. Bowls a flat length ball outside off and Hartley is nowhere near the pitch after failing to make connection. Jurel ensures he keeps his gloves behind the stumps before collecting it, and its an easy stumping after that. Hartley made no effort trying to get back

TW Hartley st †Jurel b Jadeja 9 (19m 17b 2x4 0x6) SR: 52.94
