India v England: Watch highlights from day four of the third Test

Alastair Cook and Co. would be really disappointed with their overall effort in Mohali.

The only wicket that would have seriously bothered them was that of Root.

The visitors let go of their advantage of batting first after winning the toss as they were soon reduced to 87 for four before posting 283 in the first innings.

English bowlers tried their best to bring England back into the game, as they reduced India to 204/6 in the first innings. Root, after reaching his 25th Test fifty, was dismissed 10 minutes before lunch exposing the England tail.

Fuelled by young Haseeb Hameed’s unbeaten knock of 59 runs, England earlier managed to set India a 103-run target to win the third Test match. India go 2-0 up in the series. India won by eight wickets in the process.

Having polished off the top-order save Joe Root, the question on fourth day was not how but when will India finish the match.

Pujara then joined Patel in the middle and the duo ensured that there were no more hiccups till the tea break.

Returning to Test cricket after a gap of more than eight years, Patel notched up his fifth Test half-century.

In the first session of the day, India stretched their lead to 71, with three wickets in hand.

Hameed was left stranded when James Anderson was run out for five.

England were bowled out for 236 in their second innings, setting India 103 to win the third test at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium on Tuesday.

Mohammed Shami bowled two brilliant short balls to account for Woakes and then Adil Rashid (0).

“It was frustrating. We haven’t delivered in the last two games”.

Jos Buttler (17) was expected to show some restraint considering the match situation.

He moved outside his wicket to smash Chris Woakes for the first of four boundaries in one over and charged down the pitch to try to launch Rashid over the ropes, only to be caught by Woakes in the deep.

WICKET! Ravindra Jadeja has wasted no time to strike on day four.

It took just two balls for Ravindra Jadeja to send nightwatchman Gareth Batty packing with the spinner getting one to straighten and stay low to trap him leg before for nought.

England face a real uphill battle to not lose the third test after ending day three on 78-4 in their second innings in Mohali, trailing India by 56 runs.

Root’s exemplary 78 preceded the equally skilful defiance of Hameed (59no), who made no compromise to a left little finger injury that will prevent him completing the tour.
