Yashasvi Jaiswal even scored his third Test century in 122 balls. This is also his second century in this ongoing series. Looking at some stats, Jaiswal has now 3 centuries in 7 test matches.
Apart from this, Shubman Gill also made a half-century and is unbeaten. However, Yashasvi Jaiswal (104) had to go back to the pavilion, as he retired hurt due to back spasms after the left-handed batter had issues with his back. The team physio came out to the middle to check on him a couple of times before Jaiswal decided to retire hurt.
For England, Joe Root and Tom Hartley clinched one wicket each.
Indian batters have scored 196/2 at Stumps and now have a lead of 322 runs. Shubman Gill (62*) and Kuldeep Yadav (3*) will begin the Day 4 play for India.
Earlier on Friday, India’s Ravichandran Ashwin dismissed Zak Crawley (15) on the first delivery of the 14th over after delivering a full-length ball and it was caught by Rajat Patidar.
But, due to some family emergency, he had to be put out from the ongoing Test. The BCCI informed that R Ashwin had opted out of the ongoing Test due to some personal reasons. Without citing the reason, BCCI urged the media and fans not to disturb India’s top spinner.
