Pacer Ollie Robinson struck twice with the new ball in an over as he dismissed Rohit Sharma and Cheteshwar Pujara to bring England back into the game before bad light forced early Stumps on Day 3 of the fourth Test at The Oval. Rohit fell for 127 runs while Pujara was out for 61 as India were placed at 270/3 after 92 overs, leading by 171 runs at Stumps. Ravindra Jadeja joined skipper Virat Kohli at the crease after the fall of two quick wickets. Earlier, Rohit and KL Rahul started brilliantly and picked up from where they left off yesterday to frustrate the England bowlers in the morning session. However, James Anderson soon dismissed Rahul for 46 runs to give his team the breakthrough. After England scored 290, taking a first innings lead of 99 runs, Rohit and Rahul survived a good spell of bowling to see the visitors through to Stumps without any damage done to the wickets column. England, who edged ahead thanks to half-centuries from Ollie Pope and Chris Woakes, will be confident in their bowling attack once again, after they dismissed India for just 191 in the first innings.
