COMMENTARY
So that's it from all of us here. England will have some soul searching to do while India will bank on their good work to stay ahead in the series. Hope you enjoyed our coverage, do join us for the fourth Test match of the series starting on 8th December at 0930 IST. Until then, it's goodbye and take care!
Man of the Match, Ravindra Jadeja says that he is very happy with his performance. Admits that he was giving himself time and knew that if he spends some time, he can convert those into big runs. Mentions that he was looking to play 40-50 balls initially. About the ton being missed he replies that he was not going to risk against off-spinner and that's why targeted the leg-spinner but unfortunately it didn't work out for him. Feels that next time if he is in the 90s, he will play normal cricketing shots. Adds that it was a batting wicket so he had to bowl the right lines and lengths, keep the runs down and was happy to contribute.
Victorious skipper, Virat Kohli acknowledges that none of the pitches have been turners and getting England all out for 280 on the first day was brilliant. Adds that the lower order chipped in at the right time, Parthiv Patel finished the game professionally. Admits that they were motivated by the cheers when England had won the toss, they executed their plans well and came out trumps. Adds that the lower order contributing is a proud achievement, especially in Test cricket. Mentions that Ashwin is the number one all-rounder, Jadeja is in the top 10. Confesses it was great to see Jayant come in and ask for the field he wanted. Credits Shami and Umesh for bowling well and rushing the batsmen. Calls it a pleasing feeling as a captain to see Indian bowlers bounce out batsmen. Opines that Shami's injury (earlier in the year) was a blessing in disguise and is now a lot more fitter and in control of his game. Ends by saying that there are no worries for now, feels bad for Nair who got run out on debut. Hopes to keep things simple and enjoy the break.
England skipper, Alastair Cook says that it was a good toss to win but you don't win many games scoring 283. Remembers last time they toured India, they won keeping the home team under 300. Confesses that they had a sniff when India were 204 for 6 but the lower order saw India through. Calls it frustrating to not make 400 batting first. Adds that Stokes is a brilliant player and his presence allows them to have the right balance. Credits Hameed for showing great fight and determination despite the injury. Applauds India for the win. Hopes that they can make the break count and turn things around. Informs that Hameed has been ruled out of the Test series.
Chasing a small total, India lost Vijay early but Parthiv Patel's brisk fifty kept India in control as they sealed the game and took an unassailable 2-0 lead. They will be delighted with the way they have played so far, stepping up whenever put under any pressure. Their batting has been a bit hot and cold but their all-rounders have risen to the occasion every single time.
Ashwin and Jadeja shared a 97-run stand to take the game beyond England's reach, while Jayant's fifty ensured a handy 134-run lead. The Indian bowlers then led by Ashwin ran through the England batting line-up reducing them to 78 for 4 by stumps on day 3. The visitors were always playing catch up from there and despite fifties by Joe Root and the youngster Haseeb Hameed, England could only set a target of 103 runs. Shami was impressive for India too as he bowled with a lot of venom.
England have been outplayed yet again in this series and they will have their work cut out to bounce back from here. They had their moments in the game but failed to capitalize. They won a vital toss but failed to make it count, scoring just 283 thanks to Bairstow's 89. They then came back with the ball to reduce the hosts to 204/6 but lost the plot again.

COMMENTARY
End of over
IND104/2 (20.2 Ovs)
Jonny Bairstow was the lone warrior for the tourists with 89 and he got some support from Stokes and Buttler but that was it. India kept applying the pressure and it worked for them. India will know first innings could be match defining and will hope to bat big here. Let's see how they go. Stay tuned for their first hit with the bat.
So it has taken only around 15 mins, 3 overs and 5 balls to be precise for India to wrap up the England innings. Shami picked up both the wickets and was the best for India taking 3/63. Umesh, Jayant, Ashwin chipped in with a couple of wickets each. India will be delighted with their work despite having lost the toss. England will know that they have squandered a good chance. There were many soft dismissals for them and their task is cut out from here on.

Mohammed Shami to Gareth Batty, out, OUT! Batty reviews in vain! Shami bowls it on a length on off, comes in a touch, Batty plays across the line and is beaten. He is rapped on the back leg. The players go up in an appeal and the umpire upholds it. Batty wants a review though. Replays confirm there was no bat there and Ball Tracker shows three reds and that is it for Batty. Shami has a couple of wickets today. ENGLAND BOWLED OUT FOR 283!

Mohammed Shami to Adil Rashid, out, OUT! WHAT A PEACH! Shami bowls it on a length outside off, the ball pitches and moves away a touch, just enough to get the outside edge of Rashid and the ball carries nicely through to the keeper. He didn't walk off at first since the umpire did not rule him out. The bowler continued to appeal, Batty asked if Rashid wanted to review to which the former refused and then walked off.

PITCH REPORT - Not a 268/8 pitch reckons Sunil Gavaskar. He adds that the cracks have not opened up at all, there are plenty of runs on offer. The odd ball will bounce. Nasser Hussain with him mentions that there are a few rock-hard plates which have held the pitch together. There has been some uneven bounce with some smaller plates which are starting to open up a touch. Gavaskar opines that the cracks will open up only by the evening or tomorrow. Hussain mentions that there will be reverse on offer with the conditions being dry and the bare ends on the pitch. Ends up saying that reverse swing could keep England interested all the while.
Indians will be happy with their work so far. They will want to wrap things up as soon as possible and get batting since the pitch is showing signs of deterioration. They have a reshuffled batting order and it should be interesting to see how they go about their work. Stay tuned for all the action from the game.
Cricket has to go on though, coming to the game. England won a crucial toss but some tight bowling from India ensured they could not run away with the match. The English were rescued by Jonny Bairstow who hit a gritty 89. India were fairly generous too with their fielding yesterday but they got the job done in the end. England still have two wickets left and will want to add as many as possible since it could be the difference between the two teams.
Hello everyone and welcome to the coverage of Day 2 of the third Test between India and England at the Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali. While we wait for the game to begin, let's take a moment to remember Phillip Hughes who passed away on this day, two years ago. It is at times like these when you realize how cruel a sport could be. It was a moment which had an impact on the entire cricket community. A reminder to all of us about the fragility of a human life. We all miss you Phil. Prayers with his family and friends.
DAY 2... SESSION 1....
England will feel that they have thrown away the advantage after winning a crucial toss. Their top half, barring Hameed, played loose shots to get out and had India held on to their catches, things could have been even worse. So far, the pitch has played well. Odd balls have misbehaved but altogether it's a good surface to bat on. However, it's going to get tough as the game progresses. India's plan tomorrow will be to bundle out England quickly and then bat solidly. Do join us at 0930 IST for all the action from day 2. Cheers!
Jonny Bairstow batted beautifully but was unfortunate not to get a deserving century. India were hot and cold with the ball today, however they managed to pick wickets at regular intervals. Their fielding though was pretty substandard. England bat deep and would still be aiming to stretch their first innings total to 300.
An absorbing day of Test cricket! Both teams had their fair share of moments. India started poorly by dropping catches but England also contributed by playing some reckless shots. Once again the lower order came to their rescue. Stokes and Bairstow led the revival with a handy partnership, followed by a couple of more useful stands.

Mohammed Shami to Adil Rashid, no run, It would have been a simple catch had FSL been in place there.

83.4
Jayant Yadav to Jonny Bairstow, out, OUT! Gone next ball! Jayant Yadav says I will remove Bairstow all by myself. Comes from around the wicket and bowls a loopy ball around middle, it turns in a bit as Bairstow presses forward to defend. Is beaten by the in-ward turn there and is rapped on the pads right in front of the stumps. A loud appeal follows and umpire Erasmus rules it out. Jonny opts for the review and replays show it was in line and would have crashed into the stumps. The decision stays as it is and Bairstow misses out on a deserving ton here.
Bairstow is given out LBW and it looks dead plumb. However, he immediately takes the review and the only thing that can save him will be an inside edge. Is there one? Let's wait and find out.
83.3
Jayant Yadav to Jonny Bairstow, no run, Edged and dropped! Parthiv Patel the culprit again. He has dropped him earlier and does once again. No impressive at all. Tossed up ball from around the wicket, skids in and stays low as well. Bairstow comes forward to defend but gets a thick edge and Parthiv behind the stumps fails to collect it. The ball goes off the keeper's pads and dies down. Another chance goes down abegging. How much will this cost the home side?

82.1
Ravichandran Ashwin to Jonny Bairstow, byes, 4 runs, FOUR BYES! What was Pujara doing? He should have at least stopped this one if not Patel. Ashwin slips this one wide down the leg side, Jonny looks to pull this but the ball is too wide for him. Poor Patel couldn't get there with a dive to his left and Pujara at leg gully is very late in reacting. It races away to the fence behind.

Angles in a length ball from outside off, Woakes looks to bring his bat down but misses as the ball raps him on the pads as the ball then lobs wide of first slip and the batsmen cross for a leg bye. They all appeal for an LBW but the umpire says not out. Replays show it was in line but would have gone on to clip the top of leg pole. So, the umpire's call it would have been. Good to see Kohli not taking the review straightaway just as he was doing in the previous Tests. He had a word with Parthiv who said it' not worth taking it. A leg bye is taken.

Welcome back for the final session of the day. Outcome the English batsmen, Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow. How long can these two carry on? Let's wait and find out. India start with Ravindra Jadeja...
... DAY 1, SESSION 3...
Since then, the Indian bowlers have tried hard but without any success. Bairstow and Buttler have looked at ease and have taken England past the 200-run mark. They bat deep and hence would still be hoping to post a big first innings total. There isn't much support from the pitch and the home side has to come up with a better game plan after tea. Also, they need to be on their heels in the field and take all the half chances to get back on top in this match. Do join us in a short while for all the action.
113/1 in 33 overs bowled in the afternoon session. A good one for England. The pair of Bairstow and Stokes initiated well and put together another good partnership. A lapse in concentration saw Stokes getting stumped out and soon after that Bairstow was given a reprieve by Parthiv Patel when he dropped a catch and also missed the stumping chance of the same delivery.

Welcome back for the afternoon session. There is some turn on offer but not that threatening enough as of now. Out walk the English batsmen, Jonny Bairstow and Ben Stokes. India begin with Ravindra Jadeja after lunch. Let's play...
...DAY 1, SESSION 2...
Though this is India's session, they need to field well. Their fielding let them down in the previous Tests and they have not made any improvement in this game too. They have to rectify it sooner than later. Will we see the English middle order steadying the ship? Or will the home side run through with the cherry? Join us back at 1210 IST for the post-lunch session.
Jayant Yadav then sent the man in form Joe Root back and Cook couldn't do much as Ravichandran Ashwin showed him the way to the pavilion on his very first ball and made up for the dropped catch. Moeen Ali and Bairstow then tried to calm things down by nudging around and the former even struck a few lusty blows as well but just before lunch Kohli brought Shami back into the attack who got rid of Moeen. Ben Stokes has just come out to the middle and England really need to bat well if they are to post a decent first innings total.
A perfect start for India after losing the toss on a chilly morning. Alastair Cook got what he wanted but things didn't go according to the plan. India didn't start off well as they gave two reprieves to the English skipper and it seemed like he would make the home side pay for it. Umesh Yadav provided the first breakthrough when he got one delivery to shoot up and that spelled the end for the young Haseeb Hameed.

It will be Mohammed Shami who will start off with bowling proceedings has three slips and a gully in place. Here we go...
It's time for the national anthems. First England followed by India's.
TEAM CHANGES FOR ENGLAND - Ansari, Duckett and Broad make way for BATTY, BUTTLER AND WOAKES.
FOR INDIA - KARUN NAIR (debut) and PARTHIV PATEL replace KL Rahul and Wriddhiman Saha.
VIRAT KOHLI feels it's a pretty dry wicket so the toss isn't much of a relevance. Feels England would look to score big but at the same time there is a chance they can pick up early wickets. Further says his boys are eagerly waiting for this and it's important to keep the momentum going. On team changes, he informs that KL Rahul is injured and Karun Nair is going to make his Test debut and also Parthiv Patel will be opening the batting with Vijay.
ALASTAIR COOK says they will bat first. Further says the wicket looks dry and there will be a little bit of moisture, so batting first would be a good option. Adds the home side played brilliantly in the last game but his side is hoping to repeat what they did in the opening game - put runs on the board and put India under pressure. On team changes he informs they have made 3 changes - Batty, Buttler and Woakes come in for Ansari, Duckett and Broad. Ends by saying it's nice and cool here, a bit like back home.
TOSS - Kohli tosses the coin. Cook calls it correctly. And as expected, ENGLAND WILL BAT!
England will be under pressure coming into this Test as they are trailing in the series and plus they are hampered by injuries. It's not that they have not shown fight in the series but what will be interesting is to see how they go about in this one. The toss once again will be the key. Stay with us as the action is about to begin...
Hello and a warm welcome for the third Test between India and England in Mohali. The home side after getting pushed in a corner in the opening Test, came back hard in the second to take a 1-0 lead. The momentum is for sure on their side and Kohli's men would want to continue it further.
End of over
IND104/2 (20.2 Ovs)
Ben Stokes was the pick of the bowlers as the all-rounder finished with a 5-fer. Adil Rashid finished with four wickets too but mainly due to some loose shots by India. So England have a tough task ahead here. First have to wipe off the deficit and then post a big total. Let's see how do they reply. TEA HAS BEEN TAKEN TOO!
Pretty good batting effort by India to get a handy lead of 134 runs. They were under pressure at one stage when England removed Kohli and the score was 204 for six. After that Ashwin and Jadeja shared a crucial partnership and then Jayant Yadav joined in to extend the lead. Earlier Pujara and Kohli hit fifties each and got out as England bowled well yesterday.

We are back for the second session of the day. It will be Ravindra Jadeja and Jayant Yadav to continue. Gareth Batty to bowl. Here we go.
... DAY 3, SESSION 2 ...
The pitch hasn't offered anything at all and the English bowlers have been rather ineffective. They haven't hit the right areas and when they have, haven't done so consistently enough. Stokes was the only one to scalp a wicket but even he, including others, has been poor. India will look to bat on as much as possible and probably counter-attack post-lunch. Remains to be seen how it unfolds. Join us in a short while for the second session.
A good session for India. They've managed to score 83 runs in the session for the loss of just one wicket. Ravichandran Ashwin was the only one to depart and that too was a soft dismissal in hindsight. But Jadeja continued the good work and along with Jayant Yadav, stitched an unbeaten 53-run partnership to give the home side a lead of 71 runs.

PITCH REPORT - Sunil Gavaskar doing the pitch report says that there are certain areas on the pitch which are slowly opening up due to the soil loosening a bit. Batting last will be difficult. However, it is still a good track to bat on.
WEATHER - Another chilly morning in Mohali. Should get better for the players as the day goes on.
It was a day of momentum changes as India wrestled back the initiative towards the end after England's heroic fight. Having bowled out the visitors quickly in the first hour, one would have expected the hosts to take advantage but the tourists fought hard, taking 6 Indian wickets before the duo of Ashwin and Jadeja stood firm. They have added 67 for the 7th wicket and have brought the deficit to a bare minimum. The plan for the home side would be to bat for as long as possible, ideally till Lunch at least. Will they be able to achieve that? Or will the tourists swing the momentum again? Hello and a warm welcome to the third day's play of the third Test between India and England in Mohali.
... DAY 3, SESSION 1 ...
India trail by just 12 runs and will want to bat as long as possible. With the pitch expected to turn more as the game goes on, any substantial lead here will be handy and it sets up for a cracking day tomorrow. Do join us at 0930 IST for all the action from Day 3. Until then, it's goodbye and take care!
Poor Karun Nair was sold down the river by the Indian skipper who followed him soon. England would have thought of running through the line-up but out came Ashwin and Jadeja. They stitched an unbeaten 67-run stand to save India from falling apart. Both of them have played their shots and Ashwin in particular has looked at real ease to score yet another fifty.
Been an entertaining day of Test cricket! Plenty of runs were scored and as many as 8 wickets fell today. India wrapped up the England innings early bowling them out for 283. India then began superbly with them being 148 for 2 at one stage. But after Tea, India lost a flurry of wickets. Pujara and Kohli both scored a fifty each but could not convert those into big knocks and allowed England to come back in the game.

DAY 2... SESSION 3...
88/1 in the 29 overs bowled in the afternoon session. A good one for India. They lost the wicket of Parthiv Patel in the first hour who played a fluent knock in his comeback Test match. But since then, it has been tough going for the Englishmen. They tried hard but failed to break the partnership between Pujara and Kohli which is worth 75 runs at the moment. The catch dropped by Bairstow off Pujara didn't help their cause either. The deficit is now down to 135 and England will need a few wickets in the last session to get back on equal terms in this match. Do join us in a short while.

Welcome back for the second session of play. CHETESHWAR PUJARA and PARTHIV PATEL are the two batsmen out to bat. England begin the session with CHRIS WOAKES....
DAY 2... SESSION 2...
Parthiv Patel though has looked very positive in his approach. He did survive a scare and will look to bat on and make this start count. He has Pujara for company who has looked solid till now. India still trail by 223 runs and will acknowledge there is a lot of work left. Stay tuned for all the action.
That's a good session for India. They wrapped up the England innings early with Shami taking both the wickets. The tourists were bowled out for 283 and would have been disappointed with the way they batted. With the ball though, they began well dismissing Murali Vijay early. Runs have come but it has been tough going for the batsmen.

Vijay had his back foot on the line so had that been referred, he would have been a goner.
The two umpires are having a word about an appeal from England.
