England 578, India in a spot of bother at 59 for 2

Chennai, Feb 7 (UNI) India were in a spot of bother
at 59 for two at Lunch on the third day of the first
cricket test match against England here today.
At the break, Cheteswar Pujara (20, 35 balls, 3x4)
and Virat Kohli (4, 12 balls) were at the crease.
Replying to England's 578 all out, India lost opener
Rohit Sharma (6, 9 balls, 1x4), who after flicking
speedster Jofra Archer to the mid wicket fence,
prodded outside the off stump of a delivery that
had a hint of movement and bounce and the edge
was taken by wicket keeper Jos Butler.
However, another opener young Shubman Gill
appeared in fine touch and timed the ball well.
He struck five exqusitely timed fours in his 28-ball
29, before he was brilliantly caught by a diving
James Anderson at mid on of Archer as India
slid to 44 for two in the tenth over.
With a huge total put by England, the experienced
pair of Pujara and Kohli has to stay longer and play
a big innings to keep the England attack at bay.
England had already used all the five bowlers and the
strategy adopted by Ben Stokes, packing the fielders
on the leg side with two close catching positions,
suggested that Indians would be targetted with short
pitched deliveries.
With Jofra Archer finding the rhythm and getting some
movement and bounce, India has a mountain to climb.
Earlier, resuming at 555 for eight, England were all
out for 578, with medium pacer Jasprit Bumrah and
offie R Ashwin sharing the remaining two wickets
immediately after the third new ball was taken in
the 186th over.
While Bumrah trapped Dom Bess (34, 105 balls, 6x4),
Ashwin castled James Anderson (1, 12 balls) to wrap
up the innings.
Following is the scoreboard :
England (first innings) : 578.
India (first innings) :
Rohit Sharma c Butler b Jofra Archer 6
Shubman Gill c James Anderson b Jofra Archer 29
Cheteswar Pujara (batting) 20
Virat Kohli (batting) 4
Total : 59 for two in 14 overs.
Fall of wickets : 1-19, 2-44,
Bowling :
James Anderson 4-0-17-0
Jofra Archer 5-0-25-2
Ben Stokes 3-1-9-0
Jack Leach 1-0-6-0
Dom Bess 1-0-2-0.
UNI GV 1145
