England now lead the 5-match Test series 2-1 after a tough win in the 3rd Test against India by 22 runs. India's last hope ended when Siraj, while trying to defend the ball, accidentally let it roll back onto the stumps, ending the match and sealing the victory for the home side.

19-year-old Samit was placed in the C category of junior cricketers but no franchise offered him any bid. At the same time, Devdutt Padikkal had a great time in the auction of the fourth season of the tournament organized by the Karnataka State Cricket Association. Left-handed middle-order batsman Padikkal, who has played four international matches for India, was the most expensive player.
