India’s balance (with regards to the four pacers and one spinner formula) has constantly been a talking point in the series, with Ravichandran Ashwin, the hosts’ premier spinner, warming the benches for the first three Tests.

Now, as the action shifts to the Oval for the fourth Test, former India pacer Ashish Nehra feels that the off-spinner is almost certain to get the nod in the playing XI, given that conditions are expected to assist the spinners.

“I’ll be very surprised if that happens (Ashwin doesn’t play) because Oval is one wicket where there is some help for the spinners. If this Test would have been in Nottingham or Manchester, India could have gone in with four pacers as Virat Kohli believes in fast bowling, and Jadeja as the fifth bowling option,” the cricketer-turned-commentator said in a virtual press conference ahead of the fourth Test.

While highlighting the unpredictable conditions in England, Nehra gave a teaser of what to expect from the Oval pitch. Notably, he added that Ashwin might get a go at the expense of a fast bowler.

“Oval is known as a good batting surface. England is a place where conditions are changing with every session, depending on weather or when you talk about the Dukes ball, damp weather, up north, down south – there are too many ifs and buts. Oval is one wicket where we’ve seen little extra bounce but there isn’t much movement since it’s in London, especially if it’s a sunny day.

“But at the same time, what I have been hearing in the last 10 days in London is that it’s quite cold. So it’s difficult to predict conditions in England but you might see Ashwin. There’s a chance of him playing in place of one fast bowler,” the pacer added.

On Ishant looking out of rhythm in the last Test

Ishant Sharma seemed out of sorts in the Leeds Test as he went wicket-less and bowled a number of no balls. While the experienced India seamer didn’t feature in the first Test, he has five wickets to his name from three innings thus far.

Nehra admitted that Ishant didn’t appear as his usual self in the last Test but threw his weight behind the pacer, adding that a player with such great experience shouldn’t be judged on the basis of a few bad performances.

“Yes, Ishant didn’t look in the best of the rhythm. But if you see, he didn’t play the first game. And even in the second game, it took him a little while, but a player like him who has played 100 Tests did get back into the groove and he had a good Test at Lord’s. I am not a big believer of judging a player like Ishant on the basis of one match performance. We’re only discussing him since we lost the Test, and we didn’t lose it because of him.”

South African pacer Dale Steyn on Tuesday announced his retirement from all forms of cricket.

The 38-year-old took to Twitter and posted his retirement note along with three pictures, drawing curtains on a 17-year career which saw him play in 93 Tests, 125 ODIs and 47 T20Is for the Proteas.

“Today, I officially retire from the game I love the most. Bittersweet but grateful,” the note read.

Steyn claimed 699 international wickets across formats - 439 in Tests, 196 in ODIs, and 64 in T20Is - in his career that began in 2004.

He had called it quits from the game’s longest format in 2019 and decided to focus on limited-overs cricket. The pacer was last seen in South Africa colours in February 2020 in a T20I against Australia.

Reacting to the development, those linked to the cricketing fraternity took to Twitter to congratulate Steyn on a stellar international career. Here are a few reactions:

'Steyn gun'

From one South African great to another!

Curtains on a brilliant international career

Coming from one of the most explosive batsmen

South Africa's pace legend Dale Steyn called time on his storied career on Tuesday. The 38-year-old veteran, considered among the fiercest fast bowlers of his generation, represented his country in 93 Tests, 125 ODIs, and 47 T20Is.

Steyn claimed 699 international wickets across formats - 439 in Tests, 196 in ODIs, and 64 in T20Is - in his career that began in 2004. His last international appearance was a T20I against Australia in Johannesburg on 21 February 2020, where he claimed two wickets for 31 runs in his four overs.

Steyn took to Twitter to make the announcement.

"It's been 20 years of training, matches, travel, wins, losses, strapped feet, jet lag, joy, and brotherhood. There are too many memories to tell. Too many faces to thank," Steyn wrote, quoting from the Counting Crows' A Long December.

"Today I officially retire from the game I love the most. Bitter sweet but grateful.
"Thank you to everyone, from family to teammates, journalists to fans, it's been a incredible journey together."

Earlier this year, Steyn had made himself unavailable for Royal Challengers Bangalore's campaign at IPL 2021, but had ruled out retirement. He moved on from Test cricket in August 2019, and missed South Africa's central contract next year.

England thrashed India by an innings and 76 runs to win the third Test at Headingley on Saturday with more than a day to spare.

Victory saw England level the five-match series at 1-1 after India's 151-run win in the second Test at Lord's.

India, 215-2 overnight in their second innings, collapsed against the new ball, losing eight wickets for 63 runs in 19.3 overs on Saturday with Ollie Robinson taking 5-65.

India's 278 all out, however, was 200 runs more than their woeful first innings of 78 — made after captain Virat Kohli won the toss — which saw England great James Anderson rip through the top order with 3-6.

The tourists resumed Saturday on 215-2 but, with 80 overs bowled, England took the new ball straight from the start of Saturday's play.

From the moment Cheteshwar Pujara was lbw to Robinson without adding to his overnight 91, lbw playing no shot to Robinson, England were in complete command Saturday, with Kohli falling soon afterwards for 55 -- his first fifty of the series.

The match was a personal triumph for England captain Joe Root, who top-scored with 121 out of a total on 432 on his Headingley home ground.

That's it from us here. Hope you enjoyed our coverage. Do join us for the 4th Test which starts on 2nd September. Until then, goodbye and take care.

17:50 (IST)

Root: It was a fantastic and clinical performance from our bowlers. The big lads set it up beautifully. It set the tone. When the chances came we were ruthless and took it. We know that we are capable of putting on performances like this, it's just that we have to be consistent. We controlled and hung in with the new ball, and we reaped the rewards. That's why he (Anderson) is GOAT of Test cricket, he just churns out these performances. He's very fit and sets an example for the other bowlers. He (Malan) played beautifully. The way he started his innings he looked cautious but once he got going, he was fluent like he'd been playing the last few years. His international experience came to the fore. As a batter you are expected to go out and score every time and I am happy I've managed to score a few. It's been a while since I got a hundred in my home ground. Got to keep working hard and give my best for the next match.

It's been fantastic to watch Ollie Robinson. He has been brilliant, and he's asked good questions of their defence. He's managed to move the ball throughout the innings, not just with the new ball. 

Sam's a very talented player, he may not be at his absolute best, but he's someone who is going to do special things for England. Not worried about Sam at all, he's got great strength and character and he will get better sooner rather than later.

17:46 (IST)

Ollie Robinson is the Player of the Match for his match figures of 7/81, including a five-for in the 2nd innings

Ollie Robinson: (Starring in a win) Very special. Something I had been dreaming about as a kid. I knew from being here (Headingley) before that I enjoyed bowling here. It’s very special for me to get a five-for in an England victory. To bowl with Jimmy is an absolute honour. To learn from him everyday, is something that has improved my game. Hopefully I can keep bowling with him. Nice to get him (Kohli), especially after he hit two fours in the over. It’s the same plan for Virat. Feel fine. Nice to have the break last week. Freshen up a bit and get the body recovered. Looking forward to the next.

17:37 (IST)

Virat Kohli, India captain: (Reason for collapse) Basically down to scoreboard pressure. We knew we’re up against it when we were out for 80-odd and the opposition gets such a huge scoreboard. We got some good partnerships that helped us see the day through. England were outstanding today and troubled us as a batting group. (First innings collapse) Quite bizarre, it can happen in this country. The pitch was good to bat on. Pressure was relentless and it was quite difficult to deal with those spells where you weren’t getting enough runs. We saw the batting order crumble. (Regrets over toss?) Not at all. The pitch looked really good to bat on. When England batted, it was a different ball-game altogether. We were just not on the money in this game, and they thoroughly deserved to win this game. Basically, the top-order has to give enough for the lower middle order to step up as well. The second innings we did much better, so we can take positives from that. As a batting group, we need to stay close and connected. You don’t want to expose guys where every game they have to bail you out. (Plans for next game) We have to assess the surface we will play on. Forecast is something no one can predict. Our decision will be based on that. (Four seamers and one spinner) This template works. The pressure from the fourth seamer can always come in handy. You have to analyse that and take the best XI forward. We set the template in the first two games. England is a quality side and you expect them to bounce back. We will take a lot of pride in correcting a lot of those errors.

17:25 (IST)

One of India's most disappointing defeats in recent times

17:23 (IST)

Still some issues left to be addressed in the Indian batting lineup

17:21 (IST)

A brilliant come back from England. After the way they lost at Lord's it takes a lot of mental strength to bounce back and win by an innings at Headingley. It was brilliant bowling this morning from England. They snapped up 8 wickets inside the first session for 63 runs. It was quality fast bowling from Anderson, Robinson and then Overton. The second new ball did the trick for them.

17:17 (IST)

Fast and furious stuff from the English bowlers this morning

17:13 (IST)

OUT! That's it! England win! 

Good length delivery on off, nips away. Siraj is squared up as he looks to defend but gets an outside edge to Baristow at second slip. 

The England fielders celebrate as Siraj walks back.

17:12 (IST)

OUT! The end is near! Overton sends back Jadeja! Beautiful delivery. Good length delivery on off, nips away after landing. Jadeja stays in the crease and looks to defend but is done in by the away movement. He ends up edging it to the keeper.

17:10 (IST)

After 99 overs,India 278/8 ( Ravindra Jadeja 30 , Jasprit Bumrah 1)

Bumrah charges down and goes for the swipe across the line first ball, but mistimes it on the bounce to the deep mid-wicket fielder.

Two runs off the over.

17:07 (IST)

Moeen continues...

17:06 (IST)

FOURS! 3 in that Overton over! Jadeja drives uppishly a full delivery outside off through mid off. He then cuts a short of a good length ball through gully for four and then again through the same region to make it three boundaries in that over.

17:03 (IST)

Overton into the attack now

17:02 (IST)

After 97 overs,India 264/8 ( Ravindra Jadeja 17 , Jasprit Bumrah 0)

The first one to Bumrah turns sharply from outside off, Bumrah misses his forward defense and gets hit high on the pads. 7 runs off the over.

17:00 (IST)

SIX! Tossed up on off, spinning away from Moeen. Jadeja comes down the track and lofts it over long off.

16:58 (IST)

What a spell this morning from Robinson. He gets another wicket in this over to register his five-for. Jadeja defends the first two, lets go the next and then flicks the next one to fine leg for a single. Robinson then induces an outside edge to send back Ishant. Bumrah, the new batsman, defends an inswinger solidly to end the over. One run and a wicket off it.

16:56 (IST)

OUT! Robinson gets a five-for. What a spell this morning. Length delivery outside off, nips away. Ishant hangs his bat out and gets an outside edge to the keeper. India 257/8.

16:54 (IST)

Robinson continues...

16:52 (IST)

After 95 overs,India 256/7 ( Ravindra Jadeja 9 , Ishant Sharma 2)

Another over that produces a wicket. Jadeja pushes one down the long on for a single. But then Moon bowls a beauty to Shami first up and it sneaks through his forward defense. Ishant defends the next one before driving through the covers for two. The last two balls are defended. 3 runs and a wicket off it.

16:49 (IST)

OUT! That's why Moeen was brought on. What a delivery. Flights it outside off, it spins back in sharply. Shami leans forward for a defense but the ball sneaks through the bat and pad and rattles the timber.

16:48 (IST)

Moeen Ali into the attack now...

16:47 (IST)

After 94 overs,India 253/6 ( Ravindra Jadeja 8 , Mohammed Shami 6)

A couple of close LBW shouts in that over. One is turned down and the other is given but Shami reviews and reviews well as the replays show it was missing leg. He then gets an inside edge to the leg side for two. He then flicks the next one through mid-wicket for four. Robinson drags one down the leg side and Shami this time misses the flick. 6 runs off the over.

16:46 (IST)

FOUR! Full on middle and leg, Shami flicks it through mid-wicket, it races away. 250 comes up for India.

16:45 (IST)

Another feather on Jimmy Anderson's cap!

16:44 (IST)

NOT OUT! Shami survives. Good review! Length delivery outside off, angling in and nips back in sharply. Shami looks to flick but misses. The umpire lifts the finger on the appeal. Shami opts for the review but replays show it was missing leg.

16:42 (IST)

Robinson continues...

16:41 (IST)

After 93 overs,India 247/6 ( Ravindra Jadeja 8 , Mohammed Shami 0)

Two fours in that Anderson over but England won't mind that. Jadeja hit one through mid off but was sucked into a drive through point and the outside edge flew wide of the gully fielder. The next two are left alone. 8 runs off the over.

16:40 (IST)

FOURS! Jadeja is off the mark. Two fours in that over. One off the middle and one off the edge. Jadeja drives one down the ground, through mid off for four and the looks to drive it through point but gets an outside edge which flies through gully for another four.

16:39 (IST)

16:38 (IST)

Jadeja and Shami are at the crease...

16:38 (IST)

After 92 overs,India 239/6 ( Ravindra Jadeja 0 , Mohammed Shami 0)

Another over, another wicket for England. Robinson sends back Pant in that over. Pant starts off the over charging down the ground Robinson cleverly drags it wide outside off and it further nips away, Pant goes for that big swing down the ground but misses. He is cautious though the next three balls defends them into the ground. Pant then edges the next one to the third slip fielder to walk back. Robinson brings one back in to the new batsman Shami off the next ball, he misses and gets hit high on the thigh pad. A huge appeal for an LBW is turned down.

16:34 (IST)

OUT! This is folding up quickly. Rishabh Pant walks back. Length delivery outside off, nips away. Pant comes forward and looks to push away from his body but gets an outside edge to the third slip fielder.

16:31 (IST)

Robinson continues....

16:31 (IST)

After 91 overs,India 239/5 ( Rishabh Pant (W) 1 , )

Anderson has been brilliant this morning. He gets the wicket of Rahane in this over. We are in for another battle as well. Pant vs Anderson. Off the first ball, Rahane pushes one to the off side for a single. Pant then charges down the track first ball, Anderson bowls the indipper to beat his inside edge and hit him high on the pads. The next ball, Pant again dances down the track but mistimes his drive wide of mid on, he scampers through for a single to get off the mark. Rahane defends the next one before flicking the penultimate ball straight to mid-wicket with one angled onto the stumps. Anderson then dangles the carrot outside off, close to the off stump, Rahane looks to defend tentatively but gets an outside edge to the keeper. 2 runs and a wicket off the over. 

16:29 (IST)

Has been England all the way so far this morning

16:29 (IST)

OUT! Anderson deserved a wicket this morning. And he has it. Rahane departs. India in trouble now. Length delivery outside off, straightens a tad after landing. Rahane comes half-forward and looks to defend, he's a bit tentative and gets outside edge to the keeper.

16:23 (IST)

Rishabh Pant is the new batsman...

16:23 (IST)

After 90 overs,India 237/4 ( Ajinkya Rahane 9 , )

Great battle in that over. Robinson has overpitched one every now and then, he does it off the first ball and Kohli flicks it through mid-wicket for a four to bring up his fifty. The next two are in dippers which Kohli defends but then, Robinson bowls an away seamer, which whizzes past Kohli's outside edge. Kohli then drives one through mid on for four. But Robinson hits back hard with an away swinger that gets the wicket of Kohli who edges it to first slip. 8 runs and the BIG WICKET of Kohli in that over.

16:21 (IST)

OUT! HUGE WICKET! Robinson gets his man. Kohli departs! It's on length outside off, nips away. Kohli pushes at it and gets an outside edge. Root at first slip takes a very good catch. Really good ball that.

16:19 (IST)

FOUR! 2nd of the over. It's full on off, Kohli drives it through mid on, Anderson dives but can't stop it. 

16:17 (IST)

FOUR! FIFTY for Kohli! It's full and swinging in, on middle and off, Kohli flicks it through mid-wicket and it whizzes away.

16:16 (IST)

After 89 overs,India 229/3 ( Virat Kohli (C) 47 , Ajinkya Rahane 9)

Anderson is bowling with great rhythm. He bowls a good length delivery to start off, Kohli taps it to the off side and takes a single. Rahane defends the next one solidly but is beaten off the next ball via an away seamer. The next ball is defended and the last one left alone. 1 run off the over.

16:12 (IST)

Anderson continues....

16:12 (IST)

After 88 overs,India 228/3 ( Virat Kohli (C) 46 , Ajinkya Rahane 9)

Rahane is looking confident out in the middle. Robinson mixed it up well. But missed his length slightly off one of the deliveries, Rahane drove it through point for four. 4 runs off the over.

16:11 (IST)

FOUR! It's a tad overpitched outside off from Robinson, Rahane leans and drives it through point.

16:10 (IST)

After 87 overs,India 224/3 ( Ajinkya Rahane 5 , Kohli 46 )

Great battle brewing again. Kohli defends the first one tentatively to the off side. Anderson then sucks him into a drive off a full delivery and beats his outside edge. He then brings one back in and beats Kohli's defense, it hits him high on the thigh pad. An LBW appeal is turned down. Kohli pushes the next ball, a full one, to mid off. Anderson then dangles a carrot outside off, Kohli is cautious and leaves it alone. Anderson then again sucks him into the forward push and it seems like Kohli gets the outside edge, the umpire gives it out but Kohli reviews and replays show his bat had hit the pad. What a brilliant over.

16:08 (IST)

NOT OUT! The bat has hit the pad. It's a full delivery outside off, Kohli comes forward for a drive but it whizzes past his outside edge, there is a noise as it passes the bat. They all go up in an appeal and the umpire raises his finger. Kohli was first leaving but then consults with Rahane and opts for a review. Replays show his bat had hit the pad. He survives.

16:06 (IST)

Kohli is given out caught behind, he has opted for a review.

16:02 (IST)

After 86 overs,India 224/3 ( Virat Kohli (C) 46 , Ajinkya Rahane 5)

Though he conceded a boundary in that over Robinson bowled a decent over. He mixed it up well with the inswingers and outswingers. Off the fourth ball, he went a bit too full and Rahane drove him down the ground for four. The last one is defended solidly by Rahane. 4 runs off the over.

ENG vs IND, 3rd Test Live Score Updates: OUT! That's it! England win! Good length delivery on off, nips away. Siraj is squared up as he looks to defend but gets an outside edge to Baristow at second slip. The England fielders celebrate as Siraj walks back.

Day 3 report: After two days of outright domination, England has finally encountered some resistance from India in the third Test at Headingley.

The English will have sniffed an outside chance of a three-day victory when they were bowled out for 432 about 15 minutes into the first session on Friday, taking a 354-run first-innings lead.

England skipper Joe Root and his Indian counterpart Virat Kohli at the toss. AFP

Joe Root's team had needed less than 41 overs to skittle the tourists for 78 inside two sessions on Day 1, but scoreboard pressure and gloomy overhead conditions were not enough to undermine India this time around.

Instead, England toiled in the field for 80 overs as India reached 215-2 by stumps, with Cheteshwar Pujara’s 91 not out leading knocks of 59 from Rohit Sharma and an unbeaten 45 from captain Virat Kohli.

With a lead of 139, England still has a huge advantage, though.

It took a spectacular, one-handed catch from Jonny Bairstow at second slip to get the home side on the board in India's innings, with KL Rahul (8) nicking Craig Overton’s final ball before lunch.

A wicketless afternoon session gave India a proper foothold, with England missing a chance to get the in-form Rohit lbw for 39 when Root was too late with a DRS review.

The unlucky bowler, Ollie Robinson, got his man in the second over after tea. That was as good as it got, with an unbroken third-wicket stand of 99 to follow.

England dragged India back into the field rather than declaring overnight on 423-8 but the tail didn't wag, with Overton trapped lbw by Mohammed Shami for 32 and Robinson bowled by Jasprit Bumrah for 0.

That meant another chance for India’s chastened batting unit to redeem itself, with the floodlights on and the ball swinging nicely for James Anderson. But where the 39-year-old paceman wiped out the top order on Wednesday, now he was narrowly missing the edge or seeing nicks die in front of the slips.

Robinson thought he had Rahul when he went full at the stumps and won an lbw verdict, but England lost a review. Overton was next to try his luck, finding a hint of added lift, and it was the seamer who got things going.

A thick edge by Rahul appeared to be heading toward Root when Bairstow flung himself to his left, snapping up a one-handed take. With the ball safely grasped, he lay flat on his back in elation as the celebrations began.

From 34-1 at lunch, Rohit and Pujara added another 78 in the middle session as England’s energy sagged. Pujara, lacking in timing and confidence in recent months, was given a handful of cheap runs to get going and accepted every invitation.

A light aircraft flew by trailing a banner that read “Sack the ECB & Save Test Cricket” but England’s concerns extended no further than the partnership at hand. Anderson was looking less than 100% fit, Sam Curran served up too many half-volleys, and offspinner Moeen Ali was used reluctantly.

An unsuccessful lbw appeal from Robinson may well have ended Rohit’s stay but, after losing an earlier review, Root hesitated to challenge. He eventually made a tentative signal only to be told the 15-second window had closed. Almost inevitably, ball-tracking suggested it was out and head coach Chris Silverwood hung his head on the balcony.

With Anderson briefly off the field, it fell to Robinson to lift English spirits after tea, beating the bat again and finally getting an lbw shout to stick against Rohit.

Kohli’s arrival spurred Anderson back from his break but a two-over burst from him cost 20 runs, suggesting he was not quite at full tilt. Pujara and Kohli both scored fluently, the former recovering the snap in his wrists as he worked the ball around at will.

Bad light forced England to use spin from both ends in the closing stages, and it was Root who almost pulled out a wicket when he spun one through Kohli’s gate on 34. Somehow the ball cleared the stumps as it zipped between bat and pad, leaving England relying on the second new ball on the fourth morning.

India leads the five-match series 1-0.

Looking fairly pleasant out there ahead of start of play

14:55 (IST)

England are still ahead by 139 runs with two full days of play left in the game, thanks to the massive 354-run first innings lead that they gained. And seamer Craig Overton, who accounted for KL Rahul's wicket on Friday, says the first hour on Saturday morning will be crucial if England are to wrap the game up nicely, especially getting rid of the set Pujara and Kohli as early as possible.

14:45 (IST)

Day 3 at Headingley saw a different Cheteshwar Pujara arrive at the crease after lunch. A Pujara who did not hold back and block his way when offered loose deliveries from the likes of James Anderson, instead going for the cuts and the flicks to silence his detractors, who until yesterday morning were calling for him to be dropped from the XI. Pujara ended the day on 91 not out and earned praise from teammates, including Rohit Sharma, after the day's play.

Not only did Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami do well to polish off the remaining wickets early on the third day, the Indian top order made good use of the batting-friendly conditions on offer to finish on 215/2, trailing England by another 139 runs with two full days of play left in the third Test at Headingley.

India will hope he repeats this tomorrow!

22:55 (IST)

Despite conditions still favouring the batsmen, few expected India to put up such a strong response with the bat on the third day given how hopelessly one-sided the first half of the match turned out to be. Credit to the Indians for collecting the two remaining wickets this morning without letting the English tail add too many, and for the likes of Rohit, Pujara and Kohli showing great application and intent in helpful batting conditions to keep India’s hopes of securing a draw, or even an unlikely victory in the eyes of some optimistic fans. Keep in mind the visitors need to score another 139 runs to avoid an innings defeat. If they are able to start off tomorrow from where they leave tonight, and show similar determination tomorrow, we might actually be in for an interesting couple of days ahead.

Thank you for following our live coverage of Day 3. Do join us tomorrow at 2.30 pm as we bring to you the fourth day of the third Test at Headingley.

22:48 (IST)

After 80 overs,India 215/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 91 , Virat Kohli (C) 45)

Misfield at midwicket allows Kohli to sneak in a single in the fourth delivery of the over, before Pujara moves into the 90s with a brace next ball after driving the ball through extra cover. The second new ball is now available for England, but it looks like it won't be in use until tomorrow morning as stumps is called on Day 3, with bad light forcing the umpires to call for close of play earlier than scheduled. Pujara will be delighted with his batting performance today, though he would have hoped to get to the three-figure mark before the close of play. Kohli too closing in on his half-century now, with the partnership between the two worth 99. India still alive in this game thanks to the fight shown by the top order today. India, though, trail by 139 runs with two full days of play remaining, and will have to produce a similar display if they are to avoid a defeat.

22:43 (IST)

After 79 overs,India 212/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 89 , Virat Kohli (C) 44)

Another long hop gets the punishment as Pujara pulls towards the square leg fence, nearly hitting the umpire on the head along the way, off Ali. Two byes added to the score in the fifth ball after the ball beats both bat as well as Buttler’s gloves. Six from the over, with the partnership currently worth 96 runs.

22:41 (IST)

FOUR! Now Pujara goes for the pull, nearly taking the square leg umpire out along the way with the latter having to duck to avoid the ball. IND 210/2
 

22:40 (IST)

After 78 overs,India 206/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 85 , Virat Kohli (C) 44)

Couple of singles in this over before Kohli pulls the ball towards the midwicket fence in the penultimate delivery off a half-tracker from Joe Root. The India skipper’s in the 40s right now.

22:39 (IST)

FOUR! Half tracker from Root, and Kohli pulls this towards the fence between deep square leg and deep midwicket to move to 44. IND 206/2

22:37 (IST)

After 77 overs,India 200/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 84 , Virat Kohli (C) 39)

Kohli collects a single at the start of the over to bring up the 200 for the visitors. Faint appeal for catch at short leg after Pujara skips down the track and appears to have got a pad-bat deflection, though the umpire thinks otherwise. Just one from Ali’s 10th over of the innings, with the deficit now 154.

22:35 (IST)

After 76 overs,India 199/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 84 , Virat Kohli (C) 38)

Kohli and Pujara continue to rotate the strike between themselves, with three singles coming in this over. The score’s one short of the 200-mark now.

22:33 (IST)

After 75 overs,India 196/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 83 , Virat Kohli (C) 36)

Kohli whips a short ball from Ali through midwicket at the start of the over, collecting a single. Pujara runs the next one through square leg, also for a single. Back-to-back dots follow, before Kohli drives the penultimate ball through covers for a single. Dot to end the over. Partnership between the two worth 80 now.

22:29 (IST)

After 74 overs,India 193/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 82 , Virat Kohli (C) 34)

Single off each of the first two balls of this over. Root breaches Kohli’s defence in the third delivery, with the ball going over the stumps as a bye is added to the score. Three from the over.

22:26 (IST)

After 73 overs,India 190/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 81 , Virat Kohli (C) 33)

Five from the over, including a boundary to Pujara in the penultimate delivery as the one-down batsman moves into the 80s now.

22:25 (IST)

FOUR! Pujara rocks back and cuts the short, wide delivery from Ali towards the wide third man fence! IND 190/2

22:24 (IST)

After 72 overs,India 185/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 77 , Virat Kohli (C) 32)

Another tidy over from Joe Root as the English skipper collects a maiden this time. With spin from both ends, the hosts will hope to get in as many overs as possible, and try and get to the second new ball.

22:23 (IST)

After 71 overs,India 185/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 77 , Virat Kohli (C) 32)

Spin from both ends now as Ali continues from the other end, collecting a maiden. Floodlights at Headingley in full effect now as light becomes an issue at this stage of the session. Another 13 overs left for the hosts to bowl after this.

22:22 (IST)

After 70 overs,India 185/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 77 , Virat Kohli (C) 32)

Bit of delay before the over gets underway, as Kohli decides to put on a cap. Root, meanwhile decides to have a bowl now, giving Anderson some rest before the second new ball is taken. Just the one from the over.

22:22 (IST)

After 69 overs,India 184/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 77 , Virat Kohli (C) 31)

Moeen continues, with Hameed switching between silly point and short leg in this over. Pujara and Kohli, meanwhile, rotate the strike between themselves with the singles, five of which are added to the score in this over.

22:13 (IST)

WOW!

22:11 (IST)

After 68 overs,India 179/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 75 , Virat Kohli (C) 28)

Tidy over from Anderson, with just one run coming off it as Kohli collects a single off the last delivery to keep the strike and move to 28. India still have another 175 runs left to score before they can set a target for England.

22:08 (IST)

After 67 overs,India 178/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 75 , Virat Kohli (C) 27)

Moeen continues. Pujara collects a single in the first delivery. Appeal for stumping three balls later with Kohli the batsman in question. TV Umpire also checks for outside edge, with UltraEdge showing nothing, and the skipper’s foot is also grounded behind the crease. Kohli retains the strike with a single off the last delivery.

22:05 (IST)

After 66 overs,India 176/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 74 , Virat Kohli (C) 26)

Four from Anderson’s 18th over, with Kohli collecting a boundary with a lovely cover drive off the last delivery as he moves to 26. India trail by 178 at the end of this over.

22:03 (IST)

FOUR! Creamed through the covers by Kohli off Anderson! Fuller delivery from Anderson outside off, the India skipper leaned into the drive and the timing did the rest. IND 176/2

21:59 (IST)

After 65 overs,India 172/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 74 , Virat Kohli (C) 22)

Spin back in play, with Moeen replacing Overton after drinks. Kohli drives the ball through extra cover for a single off the second delivery. Appeal for LBW against Pujara in the third delivery, who took a couple of steps forward to block. Three dots follow, with just one coming from the over.

21:56 (IST)

After 64 overs,India 171/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 74 , Virat Kohli (C) 21)

21:48 (IST)

After 63 overs,India 171/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 74 , Virat Kohli (C) 21)

Pujara looks to drive the ball around the ground early in Overton’s over, but is blocked by the fielders. He sets off for a single in the penultimate delivery, before Kohli pushes the ball through midwicket in the last delivery before the drinks interval to collect two, moving into the 20s. Three from the over.

21:46 (IST)

After 62 overs,India 168/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 73 , Virat Kohli (C) 19)

Pujara collects a single off the second delivery, before Kohli brings up the fifty stand with a well-timed on-drive. Five off Curran’s ninth over. India have done well to stay alive in the game by forging valuable partnerships so far.

21:46 (IST)

FOUR! Driven through midwicket by Kohli off Curran, as the India skipper brings up the fifty partnership with Pujara for the third wicket in 85 deliveries! IND 168/2

21:45 (IST)

After 61 overs,India 163/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 72 , Virat Kohli (C) 15)

After 60 overs,India 162/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 71 , Virat Kohli (C) 15)

After 58 overs,India 157/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 70 , Virat Kohli (C) 11)

Change from both ends as Sam Curran returns to the attack, replacing Ollie Robinson. Tidy start to a new spell as he concedes just a single.

21:29 (IST)

Pujara is still there and Cristiano has signed for Manchester United!

21:27 (IST)

After 57 overs,India 156/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 70 , Virat Kohli (C) 10)

Overton returns as Root gives a breather to Anderson, who clearly hasn’t found the kind of rhythm that destroyed the Indian top order on Day 1. Four from the over, with Pujara playing a lovely straight drive for a four in the third delivery. India’s deficit, meanwhile, is less than 200 now with that boundary.

21:22 (IST)

FOUR! Pujara moves to 70 now as he drives a full delivery from Overton down the ground, beating the diving Moeen at mid off along the way. IND 156/2

21:21 (IST)

After 56 overs,India 152/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 66 , Virat Kohli (C) 10)

Tidy over fro Robinson, with just the one coming off it courtesy a front-foot no ball in the fourth delivery. Decent partnership so far between Pujara and Kohli, worth 36 at the end of this over at a run rate in excess of four.

21:16 (IST)

After 55 overs,India 151/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 66 , Virat Kohli (C) 10)

Pujara continues to score boundaries at will against Anderson as he collects back-to-back boundaries in the last two deliveries to guide India past the 150-run mark with eight wickets in their kitty. Pujara, meanwhile, moves into the 60s and is currently the top-scorer this innings.

21:15 (IST)

After 54 overs,India 143/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 58 , Virat Kohli (C) 10)

21:08 (IST)

21:07 (IST)

After 53 overs,India 138/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 53 , Virat Kohli (C) 10)

Anderson returns to the attack in place of Overton with four slips in place. Kohli collects his first boundary with a lovely flick through square leg off the second delivery. Pujara steers the ball past the slip cordon with soft hands in the penultimate delivery, coming back for a third. Kohli then ends the over with a lovely drive through extra cover for a boundary. 12 from the over, an expensive start to Anderson’s spell.

21:06 (IST)

21:03 (IST)

21:01 (IST)

After 52 overs,India 126/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 50 , Virat Kohli (C) 1)

Appeal for LBW against Pujara in the first delivery, but this was clearly missing leg. Bye’s added to the score as Pujara sets off for the non-striker’s end. An even bigger appeal for LBW three balls later after the ball appears to brush Virat’s thigh while the India captain looks to leave an inswinger alone, though they decide against the review after umpire Kettleborough shakes his head. Leading edge off his bat in the fifth ball, with Kohli setting off for a single to get off the mark. Two from the over.

20:56 (IST)

After 51 overs,India 123/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 50 , Virat Kohli (C) 0)

Five from this over, including a boundary in the second delivery as Pujara brings up his half-century in style, hooking a short ball from Overton towards the square-leg boundary. Massive relief on his face and even coach Ravi Shastri and his teammates in the dressing room are smiling as he ends a lean patch today with a solid display at the crease.

20:53 (IST)

FOUR! Cheteshwar Pujara brings up his 30th Test half-century in style, hooking a short ball from Overton towards the square leg boundary! Has consumed 91 deliveries to get to the milestone today, collecting nine fours along the way. IND 122/2

20:52 (IST)

After 50 overs,India 118/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 46 , Virat Kohli (C) 0)

Pujara goes through the first four deliveries of Robinson’s 15th over without disturbing the scorers, before glancing the ball towards fine leg for a single off the penultimate ball. The slip cordon gets tighter as Kohli takes strike in the final delivery, with gully moving to the fourth slip position. Just one off the over.

20:48 (IST)

After 49 overs,India 117/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 45 , Virat Kohli (C) 0)

Overton continues as India are looking to rebuild after Rohit’s exit in the previous over. Just the one from it, with Pujara keeping the strike with a single off the last delivery.

20:44 (IST)

After 48 overs,India 116/2 ( Cheteshwar Pujara 44 , Virat Kohli (C) 0)

Rohit on strike now, with Ollie Robinson returning from the Kirkstall Lane End. The Sussex pacer makes an impact right away as he traps Rohit leg-before in the fourth delivery, the latter going for the review but getting the marching orders after getting ‘Umpire’s Call’ on wickets. Out walks captain Kohli now.

ENG vs IND, 3rd Test Live Score Updates: Misfield at midwicket allows Kohli to sneak in a single in the fourth delivery of the over, before Pujara moves into the 90s with a brace next ball after driving the ball through extra cover. The second new ball is now available for England, but it looks like it won’t be in use until tomorrow morning as stumps is called on Day 3, with bad light forcing the umpires to call for close of play earlier than scheduled. Pujara will be delighted with his batting performance today, though he would have hoped to get to the three-figure mark before the close of play. Kohli too closing in on his half-century now, with the partnership between the two worth 99. India still alive in this game thanks to the fight shown by the top order today. India, though, trail by 139 runs with two full days of play remaining, and will have to produce a similar display if they are to avoid a defeat.

Day 2 report: Carrying on the best form of his life, England captain Joe Root scored his third century of the series against India to move his team into a prime position to win the third test at Headingley on Thursday.

Root struck 121 — adding to knocks of 109 and 180 earlier in the series and three other three-figure scores in 2021 — as England reached 423-8 at the end of Day 2, for a lead of 345 runs.

Root, whose remarkable scoring run this year contains two double centuries including one against India in Chennai, has tied England’s record for the most test hundreds in a calendar year. No previous test captain has scored six centuries in a calendar year.

His total of 1,398 runs from 21 innings in 2021 comes at an average of 69.90.

India, which was dismissed for 78 in just 40.4 overs on Wednesday, had no answer to Root's array of shot-making on the ground of his English county side, Yorkshire, and the fans in Headingley's raucous Western Terrace serenaded their man as he hit a boundary into the leg side to reach his century.

Root removed his helmet, leapt into the air and screamed “YES!" before being lifted off his feet by teammate Jonny Bairstow.

Resuming on 120-0 after dominating day 1, England lost both openers — Rory Burns (61) and Hameed — before lunch to bring Root to the crease. He shared a 139-run partnership with Dawid Malan, who was caught behind down the leg side off the final ball of the second session for 70 to end his impressive first test innings since 2018.

Bairstow added 29, and both Jos Buttler (7) and Moeen Ali (8) fell cheaply either side of Root getting bowled by Jasprit Bumrah. The captain walked off the field to a standing ovation.

England still moved beyond 400 with a late flurry of runs, with Craig Overton (23) and Ollie Robinson (0) at the crease at stumps.

England players wore black armbands in honor of Ted Dexter, the former England captain from the 1960s who died on Wednesday.

India leads the five-match series 1-0.
