Indian middle order’s poor run of form continued in the third Test match against England at Leeds. After the wicket of KL Rahul in the very first over of the match, Cheteshwar Pujara came out at the crease. The right-handed batsman looked unsettled for his nine-ball stay and managed to nick one of to Jos Buttler for a solitary run.

The dismissal of Pujara brought skipper Virat Kohli to the crease. The 32-year-old once again fell to his arch-nemesis James Anderson for 7 runs as he poked at a delivery that was well outside the off stump. Vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane though showed some intent and looked positive for his 54-ball 18 runs but the Mumbaikar just at the stroke of the lunch on Day 1 edged a delivery from Ollie Robinson.
