India vs England 4th Test, Day1, 3rd session Summary

 

With the score at 198/5  at Tea, England was ahead in the game, but India was not very much behind. However, the post-Tea session saw the English score 104 runs in 29 overs and lost only two wickets. Ben Foakes was the first one to fall as he was caught at short mid-on by Ravindra Jadeja off the bowling of Mohammed Siraj, but not before he scored 47 and added 113 for the sixth wicket with Root. Siraj picked another as he cleaned up Tom Hartley. 

 

However, Joe Root (106*) was not perturbed at all and he smashed his 31st century in Tests. Root was well supported by Ollie Robinson (31*) as the duo added an unbeaten 57 for the ninth wicket to take England to 302/7 at stumps on Day 1. In session battles, it's 2-1 to England at the moment.
