India vs England Live Score Updates, 3rd Test Day 1: Ind vs Eng, Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, England’s Ben Stokes said he would have liked to bat first as well. There were a number of changes for India with Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan making their Test debut today while Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja making a comeback in the side.
The Test series is currently evenly matched with England winning the first match and India clinching the second one in Vishakhapatnman.
Contrary to the conventional wisdom that India will steamroll their opponents on home soil, where they haven’t lost a series in the last 12 years, England have made their presence felt in the series with their Bazball approach that has often caused the Indians to play catch-up with the visitors.
India, however, will be looking for a repeat of their performance in the second Test, where the might of Jasprit Bumrah was on full display as the pacer took 9 wickets in the Test match, exploiting the reverse-friendly conditions in Vishakhapatnam, while Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill also shone with a double century and a century respectively.
