However,this test series is a big challenge for both the squad.

ASHWIN PLAYED,KL RAHUL PLAYED,PUJARA DROPPED
Unfortunately,the pitch looked a bit like having moisture ,but it’s possible that it would improve by DAY 4 in favour of India spinners.The English team won the ton and decided to bat first .Indian captain Virat Kohli revealed that he has decided just to play just one spinner,R Ashwin. Moreover,Cheteshwar Pujara was dropped in favour of KL Rahul.

The Indian fast pacer Umesh Yadav started his delivery on a sad note and found it tough to get his line and length correct and gave runs.On the other hand,Ishant Sharma,troubled both left-handed openers in Jennings and Cook.

ASHWIN TAKES 4 WICKETS
However, R Ashwin emerged victorious for team India by taking the wicket of Alastair Cook,who was bowled after scoring 13 runs.Jennings scored 42 runs ,with a partnership of 86 runs with Joe Root for the second wicket.Anyway,he got out after striking 43 runs by the bowling of Mohammad Shami.

Great turn around by India, Test cricket at it’s best. Ashwin has been excellent and England have lost 3 wickets for 8 runs after Root and Bairstow were looking to take away the game from India #IndvEng

A good performance this by the Indian bowlers especially Ashwin and Shami. Should look to wrap up the tail soon and restrict England around a score of 300. #ENGvIND
