The third Test of the four-Test series between India and England is being played at the Narendra Modi Cricket Stadium in Ahmedabad. England won the toss and decided to bat first. Captain Joe Root’s decision was not entirely correct. England lost four wickets for 81 runs until the tea break of the day-night Test match. After this, Michael Vaughan tweeted that England are doing well, today they got a chance to bowl Team India in pink light with a pink ball.
England is doing a great job of making sure to bowl with a pink ball when the lights are on tonight … !!! #INDvENG

England lost eight wickets before scoring 100. Akshar Patel and R Ashwin bowled spectacularly together and did not allow the English batsmen to play. Opener Jack Crowley filled the halfcentury and no one except him could play with a stick.
Fans have made some such comments:
A decades-long joke

Pending night in India
The ball is not swinging– Manav Ahir (@ Manav Ahir4) February 24, 2021
Don’t worry Ic Michaelvaughn.
Indian batting will come in the 3rd session when Dew is in full effect.
This completely negates any swing, seam and spin and the ball comes into the bat, making stroke play even easier.– Rahul Dhammy (@Rahul_Dhammy) February 24, 2021
