After losing two early wickets, India have gained some momentum against England, on Day 3 of the first Test match, at the MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. After losing Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill to Jofra Archer, Virat Kohli's arrival bought the hosts some stability. The India captain is currently en route to building a steady partnership with Cheteshwar Pujara, who is also unbeaten. The visitors scored 578 runs in 190.1 overs during their first innings, with Joe Root also registering a double hundred in his 100th Test. The Indian bowlers put in a better display on Day 3, taking the wickets of tailenders in a quick manner. Dom Bess lost his wicket to Jasprit Bumrah, without being able to build on his side's momentum. Bess scored 34 from 105 deliveries. Jack Leach attempted to add more runs to his side's total, registering 14 from 57 balls, meanwhile James Anderson lost his wicket to Ravichandran Ashwin. The Indian batsmen have a huge task on hand, and will be aiming to not lose a lot of wickets on Day 3. (LIVE SCORECARD)
