India vs England Highlights, 5th Test Day 3: Alastair Cook, Joe Root Take England's Lead To 154 At Stumps On Day 3

Opener Alastair Cook (46*) and captain Joe Root (29*) remained unbeaten as England were on 114/2, extending their lead to 154 at stumps on Day 3 of the fifth and final Test at The Oval. England captain Root was in his elements as he played some beautiful shots to keep the scoreboard ticking. Indian bowlers Ravindra Jadeja (1/36) and Mohammed Shami (1/32) were the only ones to take one wicket apiece as Cook and Root held the English fort. While Jadeja dismissed Moeen Ali (20), Shami castled Keaton Jennings (10) to send him packing. Earlier in the day, Jadeja (86) frustrated the English bowlers to score his second-highest Test run as he reduced India's deficit to 40 runs before the visitors were bowled out for 292 in their first innings. Debutant Hanuma Vihari (56), along with Jadeja, forged an all-important 77-run partnership to deny the English bowlers early wickets. James Anderson, Ben Stokes and Moeen Ali picked two wickets each for England in the first innings. Cook, who is playing his last Test and scored 71 in the first innings, will aim to gift himself a century and his team a victory in his farewell game. (SCORECARD)

21:55 IST: OUT! Ravindra Jadeja cleans up Moeen Ali with a cracker of a delivery. Goes straight between bat and pad. Jadeja finally hits the rough. That spun back a long way into the left-hander. Moeen Ali walks back after scoring 20 runs. ENG 62-2 after 27.4 overs.

14:30 IST: Hello and welcome to the live match updates of Day 3 of the 5th and final Test between India and England.

Buttler and Stuart Broad (38) frustrated India with a ninth-wicket stand of 98 as, yet again this series, England bounced back with the bat after a top-order collapse. This was the fourth time in five innings that Buttler, recalled to Test duty earlier this season by new national selector Ed Smith, had been England's top scorer. Alastair Cook, in his final Test appearance before international retirement, made 71 on Friday. But his dismissal sparked a slump that saw England lose six wickets for 48 runs.

Buttler, who had been given out lbw to Mohammed Shami on eight on Friday only for a review to reveal an inside edge, was 11 not out overnight, with Adil Rashid unbeaten on four. Rashid was soon lbw for 15 to fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah on an overcast morning. Broad was then peppered with several short-pitched deliveries but hung in to play some good shots before Buttler went to fifty in 84 balls, with England scoring 106 runs in the morning session.

Broad eventually fell when a skyed drive off left-arm spinner Jadeja was well caught over his shoulder by a diving KL Rahul, running back from mid-on. Buttler, now with only last man Anderson for company, hit two sixes in three balls off Bumrah -- a drive over long-on and a hook over long leg. But looking for a single to keep the strike, he fell short of what would have been his second Test hundred when he guided Jadeja to Ajinkya Rahane at slip.

Jadeja, playing his first match of the series, after off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin was ruled out through injury, finished with fine figures of four for 79 in 30 overs. Bumrah and Ishant Sharma took three apiece but fellow paceman Shami, who repeatedly beat the bat, was unlucky to bowl 30 wicketless overs. By contrast, Broad struck with his first ball Saturday to have Shikhar Dhawan lbw.
