Hello and welcome to India.com’s coverage of India vs England 2nd Test day three. Visitors were in deep trouble after being reduced to 103/5 in their reply to India’s 455 all out in the first innings at the end of second day. Ben Stokes and Jonny Bairstow are the two overnight batsmen and they will look to cut down the deficit on day three. Stay on this page for live score updates.
Resuming the day at 317/4, India were bowled out for 455 an hour into the second session of play at the ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium. In reply, England lost five wickets for just 103 runs and are 352 runs short of India’s first innings score. Joe Root (53) offered some resistance but the Indian bowling attack, spearheaded by off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin (2/20), had the visitors on the mat.
Pacer Mohammed Shami and debutant off-spinner Jayant Yadav returned figures of 1/15 and 1/11, respectively. England suffered an early jolt when Shami beat England skipper Alistair Cook with a delivery that moved in to beat the bat before breaking the off-stump into two.
