England vs India, 5th Test Day 3 Highlights: India were in a commanding position heading into Day 4 as Cheteshwar Pujara's fifty helped them take a 257-run lead over England on Day 3 of the ongoing fifth Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Pujara (50) scored his fifty in the final over of the day, while Rishabh Pant also remained unbeaten on 30. Virat Kohli had also made a strong start before a short-pitched delivery from Ben Stokes gave him his marching orders. Earlier, Mohammed Siraj took four wickets, while skipper Jasprit Bumrah took three as India bowled out England on 284, taking a solid 132-run lead in the first innings of the ongoing fifth Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Jonny Bairstow lost his wicket to Mohammed Shami on 106 runs on Sunday before Stuart Broad got dismissed by Siraj. Bairstow had earlier helped England bounce back from a precarious state of 83/5 in the ongoing fifth and final Test match against India at Edgbaston, Birmingham. He along with Stokes had stitched a 66-run partnership for the sixth wicket before adding 92 runs for the seventh wicket with Sam Billings. A day prior, Jasprit Bumrah had returned figures of 3/35 to keep England under the pump while Mohammad Shami and Mohammed Siraj had claimed a wicket each to further pile misery on the hosts.
Edged and caught by Crawley! Fuller length from Anderson, straining for swing, Gill is into position early and eases his blade through the line to long-off
Mohammed Siraj has got the wicket of Stuart Broad. It was a short ball and Broad wanted to hit a boundary on it but skied the ball high in air before Pant could complete the catch behind the stumps.
Bairstow is out! Mohammed Shami gets the magic done as he outfoxes Bairstow, who was being a thorn in India's flesh. He departs on 106 off 140 balls. England are seven down and the tail is open now.
A four and Jonny Bairstow races to his 11th Test hundred in 119 balls. He has looked solid today and England would want him to continue holding one end tight.
It's not raining at Edgbaston, Birmingham at the moment but the covers are still on. The start of second session has been delayed now, but we haven't got an official start time yet.
Heavens have opened up at Edgbaston, Birmingham and this halts the play. It is raining at a good amount currently. England still trail India by 216 runs.
Jonny Bairstow is making fun of Shardul Thakur. He first flicked him for a four down the leg side and then slammed him for a six towards deep mid-wicket on the very next ball.
On the pads from Mohammed Siraj and Bairstow flicks it for an easy four towards cow corner. As long as Bairstow is there, England would not have to worry for runs.
