IND vs ENG 3rd Test Day 3 lunch: India mount pressure as England go five down

England appear to be perpetually struggling on day three on Saturday of the third Test match against India in Rajkot after losing their three wickets on day three. England finished the day two on 207/2, trailing by 238 against India’s 445. Ben Duckett brought his amazing 88-ball century to propel the side into a comfortable position. 

On day three, Ben Duckett was crashed by Kuldeep Yadav when he was playing on 153. Bairstow lost his wicket for a duck after the delivery from Kuldeep ricocheted through Bairstow's pads for lbw. Skipper Ben Stokes and Ben Foakes are at the crease, bringing the innings on track. Stokes looks promising with his attentive shot selection. At lunch, England were 290/5.

Earlier, on day two, India put out a formable first innings score of 445 with the century-filled knocks from Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja. Debutant Sarfaraz Khan made a brilliant impact with his 62 before getting run out by Mark Wood.
