Leeds: At the end of the second day of the third Test against England on Thursday, Indian bowlers managed to fight back against the hosts but the dismal batting performance on the first day rendered the comeback by the bowlers meaningless. Fifties from England’s top three and the 23rd Test century from skipper Joe Root (121) at No. 4 took England to 423/8 at stumps, 345 runs ahead of the visitors. The England openers, Haseeb Hameed (68) and Rory Burns (61), who resumed at 120 without loss, couldn’t take overnight their scores — 60 not out and 52 not out, respectively — much further. But the platform that they set with their 135-run opening stand was enough for Dawid Malan, playing his first Test after three years, and Joe Root to grind the Indian bowlers. (SCORECARD)

Live Cricket Score Today India vs England: Have to feel sorry for the Indian bowlers, most of them were not that bad, they actually were quite decent but there was not a lot of assistance for them from this wicket. Yes, they were a tad inconsistent with their lengths but overall, they were quite decent with the ball. Except for Ishant, everyone picked a wicket at least, Ishant was quite flat, he was way too straight and leaked runs. Except for him, the rest did a commendable job. They will be quite pleased with the last session or there was a possibility of England heading into Day 3 being just 4 or 5 down.

IND vs ENG Live Score Today, 3rd TEST LIVE: End of another day which has belonged to the hosts! They are way, way ahead in the game at the moment despite losing 5 wickets in this session. Yes, they did lose 5 wickets but they have ended up scoring more than 120 runs which has seen that lead grow to over 340. The day was all about England’s top three and Root because the middle order and the lower order did not do a lot! The damage the top four did is the reason why England are in the position they are in. All the top three scored the fifties but none of them went onto making it into a ton but Root did do so as he went on to score yet another century. Also, the English skipper managed to score those runs at a brisk rate. They made the Indian bowlers toil hard in the first two sessions. They went about things slowly in the first, the second they managed to score quicker, they came out in the third session with even more positive intent, they did manage to score at a decent click but lost quite a few wickets. Still, though, they will be pretty pleased with where they are in the game, yes, their position could have been a lot better but they are well and truly in the driver’s seat.
India vs England 3rd Test Live Cricket Score: Review time! An appeal for an LBW is turned down. There seems to be an inside edge. If not, it looks out. There indeed is a huge inside edge. NOT OUT! Sharma bowls a full ball, on-off. Ollie Robinson does well to bring his bat down. He inside-edges it onto the pads. An appeal from Ishant Sharma and Co. for an LBW but the umpire shakes his head. Virat Kohli thinks for a while and then opts for a review. UltraEdge shows a spike as the ball passes the bat. Massive inside edge and Ollie Robinson survives the last ball of the day. THAT WILL BE STUMPS ON DAY 2. England 423/8 in 129 overs, lead India (78) by 345 runs at Headingley | Root 121, Malan 70; Shami 3/87, Siraj 2/86
