India vs England LIVE: Test cricket score and updates as Ben Duckett run out as England begin mammoth chase
Follow all the action from Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium
Ben Duckett was run out as England began their run chase of 557 against India in the worst possible fashion on a punishing penultimate day in the third Test in Rajkot.
Duckett was caught in a moment of miscommunication with fellow opener Zak Crawley and was stumped to give India the perfect start after the hosts declared on 430-4, setting England a daunting total.
Yashasvi Jaiswal smashed 214 not out, his second successive test double hundred, while Shubman Gill (91) and Sarfaraz Khan (68 not out) made half-centuries, with England seemingly running out of ideas underneath the baking sun.
The hosts declared as they push to go 2-1 ahead in the five-match series and their bid was boosted by Ravi Ashwin coming back into the fold. Ashwin, India’s premier spinner, pulled out of the Test on Friday night to tend to a family medical emergency but it was announced he will return on Sunday afternoon and be available immediately.
