Harry Brook and Jamie Smith, who later joined forces, rescued the team from the slump. Jamie Smith, who played aggressively, wanted to hit a six in 52 balls with 5 fours and 1 six but was caught on the boundary line by Prasit Krishna. At that time, england had scored 349/6. Even though the wicket fell on one side, Harry Brook hit boundaries in Siraj's over. He was expected to score a century at 99, but he was out for 99, missing his century by 1 run. When Prasit krishna hit the ball for a six, it went into the hands of Shardul Thakur. Then Brydon Carse and chris Woakes played aggressively for a while and took the score past 450. Brydon Carse (22 runs) who played well was caught by Siraj. In the end, chris Woakes (38 runs) and Jose Tango (11 runs) were dismissed by Bumrah. As a result, england were all out for 465 runs in their first innings, 6 runs less than India. indian team player jasprit bumrah was impressive, taking 5 wickets for 83 runs in 24.4 overs. Prasidh krishna took 3 wickets and Siraj took 2 wickets.Then the indian team started the second innings with a lead of 6 runs. But opener jaiswal was caught by wicketkeeper Smith on a 4-run bowled by Carr. Next, Sai Sudarshan, who was out for a duck in the first innings, entered the field. He and KL rahul played responsibly and saved the team from the slump. Sai sudarshan showed restraint, and KL rahul hit fours. Sai Sudarshan, who hit some good fours, was caught by Crawley off a ben stokes ball when he scored 30 runs. Sai sudarshan was expected to score at least a half-century in this innings, but he was deceived. The match was ended early due to continuous rain. The indian team was 90 runs for the loss of 2 wickets at the end of the 3rd day's play.
KL rahul is on 47 runs off 75 balls with 7 fours and captain Shubman Gill is on 6 runs. For england, Gareth and stokes took 1 wicket each. With india leading by 96 runs, they need to play without losing a wicket on the 4th day. If india bats all day tomorrow, there is a high chance that this Test will end in a draw. The indian team's fielding was very bad in the first Test. jaiswal alone missed 3 catches. Jadeja and pant missed one catch each. If these catches had been taken, england would not have even crossed 300 runs. Also, there were some boundaries on the boundary line.
