India vs England Live Score Updates, 2nd Test Day 3: IND vs ENG, Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal will resume the innings on day three of the Test match in Vishakhapatnam. India’s opening pair will be looking to put more pressure on the England bowlers from the outset, while continuing their aggressive approach.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has had a dream run in the Test format so far, will be looking for a repeat of his 1st innings performance, while skipper Rohit Sharma will be looking for a big score for the first time in this Test series.
England, on the other hand, will be looking to wrap up the Indian innings quickly in order to chase down a manageable total. They will be relying heavily on their inexperienced spinners, while the seasoned James Anderson cannot be ruled out.
Earlier, on the second day of the Test match, England dismissed Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ravichandran Ashwin in quick succession to end India’s innings on 396.
While England made their usual aggressive start, putting pressure on India’s pacers and spinners, and were well placed at 114/1 at one stage, Jasprit Bumrah’s brilliance with the ball soon turned the match in India’s favour. Bumrah took 6 wickets on the day, conceding just 45 runs, with the other 4 wickets being shared by Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel. England’s innings ended on 253, 143 runs behind India’s total.

India vs England Live Score: Speaking to JioCinema, Bumrah said, “So, the ball was reversing consistently but that ball I think I wanted to bowl an away swinger but it didn’t swing at all and kept straight. So probably that’s why the reaction. He perhaps thought the ball would go away. In the first match when the shine was outside, he tried to step out and it did go the other way. So yeah, it was a big wicket. He is a very dangerous batter at that stage of the match. He takes his chances and plays with a lot of freedom,”
