India has so far held its best session in the first session of the 3rd day. The two batters, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul, ran at very healthy speeds and apparently not suffered from British bowlers.
Ben Stokes had to draw out an unorthodox field as well as using all his bowlers, including himself, but there appears to be nothing to work against the dynamic duo of Pants and Rahul. The inning marked the third 100-run partnership in Test cricket.
Speaking of personal excellence, KL Rahul approaches the Lord’s incredible 100. Rishabh Pants also hit well for his half century before being fired on just strokes of lunch.
Your daily cricket dosage!
Zach Crawley turns “Superman” and denys Rishab Pants
The English path seemed to have gone nowhere as the Indian batter was playing perfectly on the third day, but Rishabhupants had been on track several times on both the spinner and the pacer, so he never left his natural style of play.
He also pulled out his lamp and slog. While playing one such shot, attempting to pull Ben Stokes, the ball flew towards the fine leg boundary, and Zack Crawley placed himself on the edge of the boundary rope. Despite a serious attempt, he was unable to convert it into a catch, but pulled out an astonishing save, with Rishab denying the pants in the third sixth inning of the innings.
