However, the Test cricket transition began in style for Team India as the trio of Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rishabh Pant scored amazing hundreds each in the first innings of the opening Test match against England. But, hosts England made a phenomenal comeback as Ollie Pope scored a remarkable century late on Day 2.

The opening Test match stood pretty much in balance at lunch on Day 3 as England were placed at 327 for 5 with Harry Brook looking in a brilliant form, batting on an unbeaten 57 runs off 77 balls. The Indian bowlers will definitely be looking to take the remaining five wickets as early as possible while England will be aiming to finish off the deficit.
