Ind vs Eng 1st Test Day 3: What happened in the last session?

 
Starting the third session, Olli Pope and Ben Foakes went on to trouble India big time as the dup added 112 for the sixth wicket. Pope brought up a hundred in 154 balls and became the first player in this Test to reach the three-figure mark. However, Foakes was outfoxed by a brilliant ball from Axar Patel. Patel had earlier dropped Pope right after his hundred.

England took the lead past 100 and then Rehan and Pope added an unbeaten 41 off 62 balls for the seventh wicket to see England to the close of play at 316/6, leading by 126 runs with four wickets in hand and two days of play remaining. In the last session, the English scored 134 runs at the loss of just one wicket in 36 overs.
