England have lost 4 wickets so far and have scored 226 runs. The opening batsmen did not start well, if they had started well, it would have been a bigger innings now. Joe Root is batting patiently and Ben Stokes is playing with him with a lot of responsibility. Joe Root scored 82 runs off 166 balls and Ben Stokes scored 32 off 72 balls. These two have kept the team going, if the England team can bat patiently for a long time then they can score good runs. Moreover, India is bowling quite well, since both the teams are already tied 1-1 in the series, so the players of both the teams will play patiently to move forward in the series.
A good comeback and a really nice start to the 3rd test match for the England team. Remember they are coming in this test having a defeat in the previous game but they seems to be quite comfortable now in this match. They have almost reached 251 runs and lost only four wickets.
Joe Root is finishing the day with 99 not out and he will get to his century tomorrow. Ollie Pope also played well but he missed his half century. England aren't quite in a commanding position but if they can make 100+ runs tomorrow, it can be a very good first innings score. England's batsmen fought hard today against the attacking Indian bowling.
