India The First Innings: Recovery and Consolidation

As a reply, India started their 1 st innings. The top order of Yashasvi Jaiswal (13) and Shubman Gill (4) was dismissed after a scorching first over of Jofra Archer (on his comeback in Test cricket) that touched 150km/h rowned, Karun Nair and KL Rahul combined and came up with an impressive 61-run second-wicket stand before Nair was also dismissed by edging a Ben Stokes delivery to Joe Root--Root taking his 211th Test catch, breaking the record by Rahul Dravid of most catches in Test cricket. Shubman Gill, the captain of India, came in at 3-down and provided impetus with Rahul. But his stay at the crease was short-lived as he was caught by Chris Woakes in the last session as India began to feel at ease once again.India were 145/3 in 43 overs, with Rahul not out on 53 (113 balls) and Rishabh Pant on 19 (33 balls), even though the latter sustained an injury to a finger

• Karun Nair: His second-wicket stand was well played out, and he left the   ground after scoring 40 runs in 62 balls.

Afternoon Session

• England scored the remaining runs to 387.

• Jaiswal went cheaply early on, care of the pace of Archer on his comeback.

• Rahul and Nair constructed an imperative second-wicket partnership, which took the pressure.

Final Session

• Nair collapsed after tea and Gill took a tumble soon afterwards.

• India were in a good position as they completed 145/3 with Rahul and   Pant at the crease.

Strategy Context and Outlook

• England have a base of 387; it is not a formidable base but there is momentum there in the century of Root and the lower order rescue of Smith.

• The Indian response was nervous to start out with against the intense speed of Archer but demonstrated patience and skill through Rahul and Pant.

• The top order of India was setback when Gill was dismissed cheaply and the middle order had to survive the rest of the sessions. 

Day 3 🔬 What to Expect

• India should keep consolidating with the help of Rahul and Pant to reduce the deficit to prevent a pressure follow-on.

• The bowling attack of England headed by Bumrah and Archer would aim to break the Rahul-Pant partnership as early as possible.

• The form of Root gives England the faith; India will have to rely on its batters and score a very good total to overcome the lead of England.
