However, the first two sessions of the third day were entirely in the name of England and the Indian bowlers were looking for wickets. The situation was so bad that Team India did not get a wicket until lunch break. Skipper Joe Root first shared 121 runs for the fourth wicket with Johnny Bairstow (57). After Bairstow’s dismissal, Root continued his impressive batting and scored his 22nd Test century. Root shared a half-century partnership with Jose Butler (23) and Moeen Ali (27). Ishant regained Team India by first dismissing Butler and then Moeen Ali and Sam Curran in consecutive deliveries. England ended the innings with a clean bowling of James Anderson without opening a Mohammed Shami account.
