IND vs ENG Live Score, Third Test Day 1: India look to maintain momentum against England in Rajkot.

IND vs ENG 3rd Test Live Score Updates: Captain Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja weathered the storm and took India to lunch at 185 for three. Rohit batted attentively and scored his 17th Test fifty and first of the series as Jadeja helped him thwart a collapse in the first session.

Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bat first in Rajkot. Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan make their debut with Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja returning to the side. England came in with just one change: Mark Wood replaces Shoaib Bashir. With the series perfectly set at 1-1, India will hope that their inexperienced middle-order, which could comprise two debutants in Sarfaraz Khan and wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel, can step up in the absence of senior players.

Sarfaraz’s much-awaited Test withdrawal came after KL Rahul was ruled out of the series due to injury, while Jurel could get a look due to KS Bharat’s poor form with the bat. Meanwhile, Virat Kohli will be absent from the entire series but in a positive update, local boy Ravindra Jadeja has been cleared to play the Rajkot Test after sitting out the second Test in Vizag due to injury.

IND vs ENG: How the Rajkot pitch can favor England more than India

“The team management decides the field of play. Not me,” Kuldeep Yadav would say when asked why there have been no akhadas (rank-changers) in the Test series so far. When pressed, he would say, “Batting is important too.” And leave it at that without going into the fragility of India’s batting.

That quote about the influence of team management on the field was perhaps a Freudian slip about the worst kept secret. It’s not really a secret as Rahul Dravid’s numerous launch walks and long talks with the curators throughout the series have been done openly.

The pitch doesn’t look much different from the last time England played a Test here under Alastair Cook in 2016. England made 537 and 260 for 3 declared, and India, who had scored 488, almost collapsed in panic last day before. Virat Kohli (49 not out), R Ashwin (32) and Jadeja (32 not out) saved them and finished with 172 for 6. (READ MORE)
