Two of India’s key pacers, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammad Shami did their work perfectly in the initial overs of Day 3 by picking up the remaining 2 wickets of England moments after the day started. It was then the duty of India’s batsmen to put up a decent target on the scoreboard and they started off pretty well.
