India landed the ghost of England’s Bazball, the British could not even score 100 runs in a session. India vs england 3rd test highlights

India vs england 3rd test highlights: The Indo-England Test series has not been halved yet, but Shubman Brigade has removed the ghost of ‘Bazball’ riding on the head of the British. Ever since Ben Stokes became captain, England has been claiming that he will score fast in Test matches, no matter the result but it did not happen in the third Test. In the third Test being played at Lord’s, India tightened such a grip on England that it was able to score only 251 runs after playing all day. It cannot be said that he was under pressure because the batter of his top order remained at the crease throughout the day.

Joe Root, the biggest star of the first day of the third Test, which started on Thursday between India and England. He played an unbeaten innings of 99 runs and played a big role in bringing England to 251 runs for 4 wickets. Just one run away from the 37th Test century, Root hit 9 fours in his 191 -ball innings. At the other end, captain Ben Stokes (39 unbeaten in 102 balls) is playing with him. Both have shared a 79 -run partnership for the fifth wicket so far. Root and Stokes have been batting with 28.1 overs together. That is, England’s strike rate was less than 3 during his batting.

Only 70 runs scored in second session
Indian bowlers may not take more wickets on the first day, but have maintained their control over the match. It is his amazing that the English team with ‘Bazball’ could not move beyond the 3.02 runrate in 83 overs. England scored 82 runs in the first session losing 2 wickets in 25 overs. He did not lose a single wicket in the second session, yet could only score 70 runs in 24 overs. England scored 98 runs in 34 overs in the third session of the day. In the day -long game, not a single batter of England could hit a six.

England’s scoring 251 runs in 83 overs is evidence that the British’s ghost has now come down. They have come to know that when there is a strong rival like India in front, then it can be carried forward according to the beauty of the game. Playing and playing in advance will be like committing suicide. This was the reason that despite not losing the wicket, England did not try to score fast.

Nitish Reddy is the most successful bowler
All -rounder Nitish Kumar Reddy (2/46) was the most successful bowler for India. He drove both England openers Ben Docket and Jack Carouly. Jaspreet Bumrah (1/35) hit Harry Brook bold. Ravindra Jadeja (1/26) got Oli Pope caught by substitute wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurlel.
