India vs England Highlights, 1st Test Day 3: Kohli Key For India In Chase Of 194 vs England
Highlights India vs England: India ended Day 3 of the first Test with 110 on the board for the loss of 5 wickets, requiring another 84 runs to win.
With 194 runs required to win the first Test, India made a mess of their run-chase in their second inning ending day three with 110 runs on the board for the loss of five wickets. Skipper Virat Kohli (43 not-out) once again was the only bright star in the Indian inning as he stood solid at one end. India still required another 84 runs to win with two days of play still to go in the first Test. Wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik (18 not out) was battling it out for India alongside Virat as the final session of the day ended. Chasing a tricky target against the likes of James Anderson, Stuart Broad and Sam Curran, India lost Murali Vijay for 6 runs. Shikhar Dhawan (13), too, followed him soon leaving India with 22-2 on the board. Although, KL Rahul (13) survived for 24 balls but never looked comfortable at the centre. Ajankya Rahane (2) found himself unlucky as he was dismissed after wicket-keeper Jonny Bairstow took a sharp low catch. Ashwin came ahead of Hardik Pandya and Dinesh Karthik but walked back after scoring 13 runs. For England, Stuart Broad in particular looked lethal dismissing both the Indian openers at the start. Ben Stokes, Sam Curran and James Anderson took one wicket each.(Play fantasy league and win cash daily)
Ishant Sharma clinched 5-wickets as India bundled out England for 180 in the second innings of the first Test at Edgbaston. India now have a target of 194, to win the first Test against the hosts, England. Ishant's 5-51 (his eighth 5-wicket haul in Tests) rattled England batting line-up as the middle order felt like a pack of cards in front of the lanky pacer. For England, Sam Curran, the 20-year-old all-rounder was the only highlight for the team as his 63-run knock took England out of trouble. Two-match-old Curran, slammed his maiden Test fifty helping England reach a respectable total of 180. The team was reduced to 86-6 at lunch but Sam Curran along with Adil Rashid stitched a brilliant 48-run partnership to save the day for England. England vice-captain Jos Buttler got out on the second ball after lunch but gritty partnership between Rashid and Curran frustrated India and skipper Virat Kohli. Umesh Yadav finally got the breakthrough dismissing Adil Rashid and later picked up Sam Curran to wrap up England's inning. (Highlights)

18:57 IST: Dropped! Shikhar Dhawan drops a dolly at first slip. It was at somewhat at an awkward height for him and wicket-keeper Dinesh Karthik distracting him as well but that should have been taken at the international level. Umesh Yadav is disheartened. England slowly and steadily stretching their lead. ENG 129-7 after 40.4 overs.
18:52 IST: And rightly so, Virat Kohli replaces Mohammed Shami and brings Ravichandran Ashwin to bowl.
18:51 IST: India leaking boundaries. Four in the last two overs. Flurry of runs. Though they have not been conventional strikes from the batsmen but England have stretched their lead to 138 runs. ENG 125-7 after 39 overs.
18:43 IST: Dropped! Edged and through slips. Shikhar Dhawan just couldn't get down in time at first slip. Ball races to the fence. Shami is disheartened. Welcome boundary for England. It was a difficult chance but would have been a blinder if Dhawan would have latched on to it. ENG 111-7 after 37.3 overs.
18:35 IST: Run rate for England is 2.86 but that's not the real issue at the moment. Ishant Sharma and Shami are bowling beautifully at the moment. Last ball of Shami's over yet again went past the outside edge of Sam Curran. England living dangerously. ENG 103-7 after 36 overs.
18:30 IST: 100 up for England with an odd boundary from Sam Curran. Apart from the last loose ball, Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Shami have continued to rattle England batsmen from both the ends. Sam Curran and Adil Rashid clinging on at the moment. ENG 100-7 after 35 overs. Lead India by 113 runs
18:11 IST: OUT! Ishant Sharma strikes yet again. Jos Buttler departs for 1. Ishant ends the over with three wickets. Magical spell from the lanky bowler. England in deep trouble. ENG 87-7 after 31 overs.
Now Jos Buttler goes! Three wickets in an over either side of the break for Ishant Sharma, all caught by the keeper or in the slips - what a spell of fast bowling!#ENGvIND LIVE https://t.co/jre8L0pd2t pic.twitter.com/1o4DcugYS4

16:51 IST: Third maiden for Ashwin in the second inning. England batsmen are playing Ashwin very cautiously at the moment. Leaving all the balls outside the off-stump and only defending the balls on stumps. ENG 57-3 after 22 overs.
16:38 IST: FOUR! Short and wide from Ashwin and Jonny Bairstow pounces on it. Hits it for four through vacant cover region. England needed that boundary to ease the pressure. ENG 56-3 after 19.4 overs.

15:00 IST: We are just 30 minutes from the first ball on day 3. England were 9 for the loss of 1 wicket at stumps on day 2 after Indian skipper Virat Kohli played a brilliant knock of 149, helping the visitors score 274 in their first innings. England have a lead of 22 runs in the second innings.
15:00 IST: Hello and welcome to the live coverage of Day 3 of the first Test between India and England at the Edgbaston cricket ground in Birmingham.
His 22nd Test hundred had 22 boundaries and a six and the unbridled joy on competing the coveted hundred was palpable as he let out a wild roar and kissed his wedding ring. He was beaten but he looked unfazed. He covered the swing, the footwork was more assured whenever he met the ball on the frontfoot.
Kohli's innings is worth its weight in gold simply because of the situation the team was in. Dhawan and Murali Vijay (20) did the hardwork of seeing off the new ball with a 50-run stand but it all went awry after that. Curran used conditions to good effect as he trapped Vijay leg before, got KL Rahul (4) to play a lazy shot and then Dhawan edged one to the slip cordon. Ajinkya Rahane (15) and Dinesh Karthik (0) joined the procession to make it 100 for 5 before Hardik Pandya (22) added 48 with his skipper.
India Cricket Team
England Cricket Team
Earlier, Sam Curran's spell had India in all sorts of trouble. The youngster took out the cream of the touring team's batting and had them on the mat. Post that, Ben Stokes joined the party and removed Rahane and Karthik in quick time. Hardik Pandya spent some time in the middle with his skipper to raise a handy stand but he too fell soon. Virat Kohli kept on losing his partners but never lost his cool. He maintained his composure and stroked his maiden ton on English soil. The England bowlers turned completely flat towards the end as Kohli milked them for runs along with Ishant and Umesh. Let's see how much effect that will have on England's second innings.
Virat Kohli's masterclass has helped India from conceding a big lead. The skipper led from the front. He was dropped a couple of times and he made England pay dearly for it. An innings of grit and determination. The last two wickets added 92 runs and that brought the deficit down to just 13 runs. England will be hurting at the moment. The momentum is with India and they would like to take a few wickets before stumps today.
OUT! Absolutely against the run of play! Virat Kohli falls but he has not let India fall in this Test match. A brilliant 149 from him and England have managed just a 13-run lead. Rashid delivers a short ball outside off, Kohli camps back to play the square cut but ends up hitting it straight into the hands of Broad at backward point. He takes the catch and runs in joy towards the bowler. A standing ovation for the Indian skipper as he leaves the field. His wife Anushka Sharma is also applauding the effort of her man. Genius knock. India are all out for 274!
SIX! This has gone all the way. Virat moves to 149! Rashid slows this one up and serves it on the shorter side around middle. Kohli goes deep inside the crease and muscles it over long on for a biggie.
Drifting into the batsman, it lands full on middle as Kohli tries to whip it across the line. Fails to middle it properly and it goes off the inside edge to short fine leg.
Short this time, around off, Kohli stays back and cuts it to deep point. Again no run taken.
Advances down the track to a full ball and smashes it to long off. No run taken.
Extra flight this time, lands full and outside off, Kohli drives it firmly but finds the extra cover fielder.
Pitches it full and outside off, Yadav leans forward and pushes it to covers. Huge cheer from the crowd as Umesh plays out this over safely.
Solid as a rock! Umesh once again dead bats a length ball towards mid off.
