Highlights India vs England, 5th Test Day 3
An unbeaten half-century by top-order batter Cheteshwar Pujara stretched India’s lead to 257 on day three of the Edgbaston Test against England on Sunday. At stumps, India are 125/3 in 45 overs, with Pujara stitching an unbeaten stand of 50 with Rishabh Pant (30 not out).
Gaining a 132-run lead after Mohammed Siraj picked four wickets while Jasprit Bumrah scalped three to bowl out England for 284 in 61.3 overs, with Jonny Bairstow making a belligerent 106. India should be aware that England have had chased 277, 299 and 296 in their last three games and would need to bat for as long as possible to inch closer to gaining the Pataudi Trophy.
Brief scores: India 416 and 125/3 in 45 overs (Cheteshwar Pujara 50 not out, Rishabh Pant 30 not out; Ben Stokes 1-22, James Anderson 1-26) lead England 284 in 61.3 overs (Jonny Bairstow 106, Sam Billings 36; Mohammed Siraj 4-66, Jasprit Bumrah 3-68) by 257 runs.

LIVE | IND vs ENG, 5th Test: India, in reply, lost Shubman Gill early to James Anderson after which Hanuma Vihari and Cheteshwar Pujara took India to Tea. Vihari and Kohli both got starts but lost their wickets after getting in. One person who will be absolutely thrilled is Pujara who showed grit and determination to work his way to a well-deserved half-century. He has built an unbeaten stand with Rishabh Pant of 50 runs and both are looking comfortable. England truly have a tough task at hand to not only get India bowled out but then chase what may be a very difficult target to achieve.

LIVE | IND vs ENG, 5th Test: It must be said though that even though the day belonged to India, the first session was definitely all about Jonny Bairstow! What form this man has been in as he notched up his 5th Test century this year and third in consecutive Test matches. Mohammad Shami was outstanding as he constantly tested the English batters all morning. Eventually, England added 200 runs to their overnight score to reach 284 with the help of small cameos from Ben Stokes, Sam Billings and Matthew Potts. It was Mohammad Siraj who cleaned up the tail after Lunch and ended with 4 wickets in his kitty.
