India batter Shreyas Iyer as soon as once more didn’t convert his begin as he was dismissed on Day 3 of the continuing third Test towards England in Visakhapatnam on Sunday. Coming out to bat with India 30/2, Iyer placed on an 81-run stand to bail the hosts out of bother. Iyer seemed energetic throughout his keep within the center, hitting two boundaries. However, Iyer miscued his pull quickly after Gill accomplished his half-century. It took England captain Ben Stokes a surprising catch to ship Iyer packing for 29. Seeing mid-off up, Iyer went aerial towards Hartley and Stokes confirmed nice athleticism to run backwards to pluck that catch out of skinny air.

Stokes made a sarcastic gesture in direction of the native crowd after the identical.

Meanwhile, Gill rode his luck to finish a much-needed half-century to take India to 130 for 4 at lunch on day three.

Resuming their second innings at 28 for no loss, India scored 102 runs within the session with the lack of Rohit Sharma (12), Yashasvi Jaiswal (17), Shreyas Iyer (29) and Rajat Patidar (9).

Gill (60 batting off 78 balls) and Axar Patel (2 batting) have been holding fort on the break with India main by 273 runs.

The first half-hour of the morning session belonged to Anderson, who continues to lord over batters at 41 years of age.

The veteran pacer first eliminated Rohit with an unplayable ball that seamed away a contact to knock the Indian skipper’s off stump in his first over of the day earlier than getting the in-form Jaiswal caught at first slip with a full ball in his following over.

The first innings double centurion went by means of with the unfastened drive and Joe Root did the remainder at first slip.

Debutant Patidar was the final wicket to fall within the session as he obtained an inside edge off Ahmed and Ben Foakes picked up a pointy low catch behind the stumps.
