England bazballers

While Rohit Sharma: Former England captain Michael Vaughan heaped praise on Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja's crucial 204-run partnership that rescued India from a precarious 33 for 3 on the first day of the third Test against England. Vaughan called off England Bazballers to “take a leaf” from Jadeja and Sharma’s partnership and get out from one way of playing.

While Rohit Sharma made 131, Jadeja was unbeaten on 110 as the duo added 204 runs for the fourth wicket as India went on to reach 326/5 in 86 overs on a pitch that flattened out as the day progressed. “I know England's Bazballers play one way, but I just hope that a couple take a look at how Rohit and Jadeja played and try and take a leaf,” said Michael Vaughan to TNT Sport.

However, Vaughan praised England's valiant effort with the ball but cautioned them not to be happy with their performance as the pitch would get tougher with the day passing on "England will be happy with their effort but the pitch will deteriorate. India are on top," said Vaughan.
