India vs England 3rd Test: Indian skipper Rohit Sharma has a brilliant presence of mind on the field and is known for his smart placement of fielders to get the required outcome. But, to apply his magic on the field, Rohit Sharma requires authority over his players to get things done and something similar was visible on Day 3. A threat of over-rate penalties was looming over the Indian team when Rohit Sharma switched to his Mumbaikar tone to order the fielders to pass the ball faster.

Kuldeep Yadav bounded in from the Media Box End at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot and kept England’s batsmen honest. There was bounce, there was turn there was an energy that was desperately needed on a good batting surface. And when play ended on the third day, there was Kuldeep again, a smile on his face, batting at the very same end, doing nightwatchman duties. In the course of the day, Kuldeep had pricked the Bazball balloon and taken India from the doldrums to a position of strength. England began on 207 for 2 from only 35 overs, and were all set to make a mockery of India’s first-innings 445. Ben Duckett was in the mood and Joe Root not far behind.

Mohammed Siraj and Kuldeep Yadav upped the ante in absence of a peerless Ravichandran Ashwin to give India a vital 126-run first innings lead which extended to 170 as hosts reached 44 for 1 at tea on the third day of the third Test against England. England suffered a mini-collapse from an assured 290 for 5 to get all out for 319 in 71.1 overs with Siraj ending with figures of 4 for 84 while Kuldeep's twin strike at the start of the day set the tone. Senior operators Jasprit Bumrah and Ravindra Jadeja also chipped in with one and two wickets respectively to ensure that India didn't suffer after Ashwin withdraw from the game due to medical emergency in the family. India made an unhurried start to their second essay but skipper Rohit Sharma perished for 19, which left the inexperienced middle-order to deliver the goods.

Before the series began experts mocked England’s Bazball methods, saying that it would not work over a sustained period of time and that it could not work in subcontinental conditions. Less than halfway through the third Test, almost at the midway point in the series, Rohit Sharma packed the leg side field and asked Mohammad Siraj to bowl bouncer after bouncer to two set batsmen. Here was an Indian captain taking a leaf out of the Ben Stokes playbook. At the end of the second day of the Rajkot Test — where the highlight for India was R Ashwin picking up his 500th Test wicket — England controlled the game. India, from 33 for 3, recovered to 237 for 4 and just as they were on the ascendency again, lost quick wickets. This inconsistent, stopstart batting meant the home team ended with 445, having batted out 130.5 overs in very good batting conditions.

Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja, they have not been able to run away with the game. An outstanding debut for Sarfaraz Khan ensured that India ended the first day on 326 for 5 after choosing to bat. And yet, with Jadeja (110 not out) at the crease with the nightwatchman Kuldeep Yadav, and debutant Dhruv Jurel to follow, England will feel like they are one good session away from getting right back into this game. And it did not take even one good session for England to take this Test by the scruff of the neck. On a batting belter at the newly christened Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, Rohit had the best seat in the house to watch some of the most exasperating batting possible. Yashasvi Jaiswal, fresh from his heroics in Visakhapatnam, hung his bat loosely outside off to edge and be taken. Shubman Gill gave Mark Wood a second scalp, prodding purposelessly outside off to nick off to the keeper. And Rajat Patidar, pressing forward and then going right back to the leftarm spinner Tom Hartley, got stuck as the ball stopped on him a touch and spooned a simple catch to cover. On a pitch where 600 should have been the goal after getting first use, India were 33 for 3 inside an hour. The situation was so dire that India sent out Jadeja at No. 5, ahead of Sarfaraz, who averages nearly 70 in first class cricket, finally got his chance in the XI. The move was not a bad one, as Jadeja calmed the nerves and built a strong partnership with Rohit.

Sarfaraz Khan (62 off 66) scored the joint-fastest fifty by an Indian on debut on Thursday to push India past the 300-run mark before he was tragically run out following a mix-up with Jadeja. Standing in the dressing room, skipper Rohit Sharma was livid at the manner of Sarfaraz's dismissal and threw his cap in frustration.

Rohit Sharma on Thursday overtook former skipper Saurav Ganguly to become the fourth-highest run-maker in international cricket.
