JSCA International Stadium: Ravichandran Ashwin and Kuldeep Yadav took five wickets collectively to push England on the backfoot, even as the visitors’ swelled their lead to 166 after reaching 120/5 at tea on day three of the fourth Test at the JSCA International Stadium on Sunday.
In this session, the pitch was fine for 90 minutes, before it opened its bag full of tricks, which Ashwin and Kuldeep used very well to get big wickets. Jonny Bairstow (30 not out) and Ben Foakes (yet to get off the mark) hold the key for England to try and take the lead past 200, to make it a challenging target for India.
With a lead of 46, Ben Duckett began by smashing a four each off Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja. But Ashwin removed him and Ollie Pope on consecutive balls in the fifth over to rattle England’s second innings early on.
