India vs England, Day 3, Live Updates: Brook has looked nearly unflappable after getting his 50 and gets another classy boundary off Siraj. The Indian bowling needs to press home this early advantage.

India vs England, Day 3, Live Updates: Another expensive over from Akash Deep, as he concedes 7 runs including 1 boundary. Gill might be wondering about a change of bowlers soon at this rate…

India vs England, Day 3, Live Updates: While Shubman Gill's heroics are commendable, one cannot miss out Jadeja's vital contributions. He had reportedly showed early for practice and got himself some extra rounds of batting done before the day two action.

Such determination is commendable from the Indian all-rounder.  

India vs England, Day 3, Live Updates: One bowler who didn't see much action was Nitish Kumar Reddy, as the all-rounder bowled just the single over. Is he going to be restricted to the occasional roll of the arm or something more?

India vs England, Day 3, Live Updates: There is an expectation that the pitch may aid spinners as the day goes on. In this case, the presence of Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar may well aid India's pursuit of wickets.

India vs England, Day 3, Live Updates: Amid all the India-centric focus, it is worth looking at what it is the opposition may do. For England, the key will be a big partnership between Root and Brook, the two batters expected to start the day.

India vs England, Day 3, Live Updates: A funny moment ensued when Gill forgot to break into his signature bow after reaching 200. He took off his helmet, punched the air and then went down on one knee, but forgot the bow. But when he turned to the dressing-room, Mohammed Siraj tried to remind Gill about it. Read about it and watch the video here.

India vs England, Day 3, Live Updates: What was the secret to Gill's 200? Hear it from the man himself!

India vs England, Day 3, Live Updates: India are currently 1-0 down in the five-match series and could do with a win to level things up ahead of a crucial match at Lord's, which is the third game of the series.

India vs England, Day 3, Live Updates: It is worth noting that India rested Jasprit Bumrah, their ace pacer and wicket-taker, for the Edgbaston Test. But India have gotten 3 wickets already so far. The onus is now on the bowlers to get 7 more.

India vs England, Day 3, Live Updates: Day 3 is often known as the ‘moving day’ in Test cricket and it appears this will be no different. If India can get England out cheaply, they will hold a huge advantage. However, if the likes of Joe Root and Harry Brook can get a big score, then India will be on the back foot.
