Rain hindered play once again as England finished on 25/0 in their 2nd innings after India took a 95-run first innings lead on Day 3 of the first Test match at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, on Friday. At stumps, England were still trailing India by 70 runs, with Rory Burns (11*) and Dom Sibley (9*) holding the fort.
KL Rahul's 84 runs and Ravindra Jadeja's 56 set the tone of India's innings with a 60-run partnership. Mohammed Shami (13) and Jasprit Bumrah (28) added valuable runs in the end to stretch the total to 278 runs.
That's about it on Day 3⃣ of the first #ENGvIND Test at Trent Bridge!

Starting on an overnight score of 125/4, India lost Rishabh Pant (25) after a few of his aggressive shots.
Lucky once, not again! 😕

A perfect foil to dismiss Rishabh Pant ☝🏽

Jadeja played an extremely calculated innings, occasionally playing his natural attacking game to push India over England's total of 183.
Just when Jadeja was looking to attack, he falls for 56 ☝🏽

Even though Ollie Robinson returned a fifer (5/85) and James Anderson bagged a four-fer (4/54), India's tail wagged long enough to frustrate the English bowlers.
Bumrah and Shami played quite a few good-looking cricketing shots to bring some cheer among the India supporters. Bumrah and Md Siraj's 33-run partnership off just 26 balls for the last wicket extended India's lead to 95 runs.
Sam Curran gets the taste of his own medicine 😋
