ENG v IND, 1st Test: Rahul-Jadeja Stand Tall As India Takes 8 Run Lead

KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja have taken India to a strong position in the 1st session of day 3 that had a delayed start and end due to rain. 

Resuming the day at a tricky position of 125/4, Rishabh Pant looked at his attacking best during his 25-run knock from 19 balls. He hit Ollie Robinson for two fours and a six but the bowler had the last laugh as Pant was caught at short covers. 

Once again in a spot of bother, Rahul was joined in by Jadeja and the two looked solid with their defense and shared a bit of luck as well with a couple of close calls. 

Jadeja has been the aggressor in the 46-run stand with Rahul. He has scored 27 so far with the help of four fours. Rahul, on the other hand, has been solid for his 77 from 202 balls. 

Brief Score: 

India - 191/5 in 66 overs (KL Rahul - 77*; James Anderson - 2/33)
