England vs India, 3rd Test Day 3: Kohli, Pujara stretch India's lead past 360

Nottingham: England have had a chance to dismiss Cheteshwar Pujara but Jos Buttler’s slip in the slip cordon has made sure India have not lost a wicket in the first forty minutes of play on Day third of the third Test here on Monday.

India 185/2 from 55 overs:

FIFTIES! Che and Kohli have crossed the fifty-run mark and India's lead has crossed the 350-run mark. England have not bowled badly but India have denied England any success in the first session on Day 3 so far.

India 145/2 from 41 overs:

There have been a few play and misses but Pujara and Virat Kohli have managed to keep the scorecard ticking in the first session on Day three. The Indian lead has moved past 300-run mark and they still have eight wickets in hand.

Preview:

After running through the England batting line-up, courtesy Hardik Pandya, on Day 2 of the third Test, Virat Kohli and co will look to consolidate their position in the match on Day three of the third England versus India Test here on Monday.

With Shikhar Dhawan and KL Rahul putting up their second fifty+ run partnership in the match, India ended Day 2 at 124/2, with an overall lead of 291 runs. Kohli and Cheteshwar, the overnight batsmen, with the other remaining batsmen will be keen to strengthen the team’s grip on this Test and put up a total which will be out of England’s reach.

England, meanwhile, will want their pace battery of James Anderson, Stuart Broad, Chris Woakes and Ben Stokes alongside Adil Rashid to keep India in check and restrict them to a score from where England can still fancy their chances to either eek out a draw and fashion an unlikely win.
