The third match of the five-match Test series between India and England is going on at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot. India won the toss and batted first and scored 445 runs in its first innings. In reply, England's first innings continues. Team India suffered a big blow before the third day when Ravichandran Ashwin suddenly pulled out of the third Test due to family reasons. In such a situation, on the third day, Team India came on the field with four bowlers. However, Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah did not let Ashwin miss the first one and a half hours. While Bumrah sent Joe Root to the pavilion, Kuldeep trapped Jonny Bairstow and Ben Duckett with his spin.
Root was out for the ninth time
Today (Saturday) England started playing at 207 runs for two wickets. Then Duckett and Root were at the crease. After some time, Bumrah gave him the first blow of the day. While attempting a reverse lap on Bumrah's ball, Root was caught by Yashasvi Jaiswal at second slip. He could score 18 runs. Bumrah sent Root to the pavilion for the ninth time in the Test. At the same time, in this series, Root became the victim of Bumrah for the third time in five innings.
