India have reached the 200 mark powered by a excellent century by captain Rohit Sharma (110*) and a brilliant half century from Ravindra Jadeja (69*). India is 200/3 after 56 overs. This the last session before end of play.
The second hour of the session remained uneventful, demanding hard work from England under the scorching sun. Anticipate a continuation of similar conditions until the second new ball becomes available. With the batting conditions at their prime, India aims to maximize their advantage and post a substantial total.
Earlier in the day, after opting to bat, India lost three of their top-4 batters inside the opening 45 minutes. Yashasvi Jaiswal, the double-centurion in the previous Test, fell cheaply. Shubman Gill’s inconsistent form continued while Rajat Patidar failed to make an impact. Since then, it has been an all Rohit-Jaddu show.
