ENG vs IND 3rd Test Commentary - Leeds (25 August 2021)

OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT! Overton joins the party now! Brilliant work from him and another Indian batter takes a sad, long walk back to the shed. Jadeja walks back and there goes India's last shot at avoiding an innings defeat. On a length by Overton, landing closer to off and then leaving the batter. Ravindra Jadeja looks to defend but that proves to be his undoing, as the outside edge is caught. Another catch that Jos Buttler is not going to drop. England are one more wicket away from levelling the series. 

Overton slips this down the leg side, Siraj tries to flick but misses. 

OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT! It is all done! There is the game. It has not taken long for England in the morning session on Day 4 to wrap the game up. Brilliant work from England and Overton finishes proceedings. Craig Overton bowls this one on a length, closer to the off pole, it lands and shapes away. Mohammed Siraj looks to block but the outside edge is induced. Jonny Bairstow, at second slip, dives to his right and pouches this. ENGLAND WIN BY AN INNINGS AND 76 RUNS AND LEVEL THE SERIES 1-1! 

Loopy, landing full on off, spins in, Bumrah gets low and slog-sweeps it to deep mid-wicket for a run. 

Short, on off, tapped to the point region. 

Short again, width offered outside off, slapped to sweeper cover for one. Hands the strike back to Bumrah. 

Tossed up, outside off, this is jammed out to the off side. 

A touch short of fuller length, around off, Bumrah dabs it back onto the deck. 

Flighted on off, Bumrah looks to defend, but the ball catches the outside edge and runs away wide of first slip. He wants one but Jadeja, rightfully, sends him back. 

Slants a length delivery across the southpaw, an easy leave for Jadeja. 

An action replay of the previous delivery. 

Around off, fuller, pushed to the cover region. 

FOUR! That's played nicely. Jadeja is getting some boundaries here, but it does not look like it will make any substantial difference. Overpitched this time, on off, Jadeja punches this with hard hands through the mid off region. 

FOUR! Another good shot. Placed it nicely this time. Slightly short, outside off, angling away, he waits for the ball to come to him and just pushes this one past the gully fielder. Jadeja wants to save India at least from the embarrassment of an innings defeat. Can he do it?

FOUR! Third in a row! Craig Overton comes 'round the wicket and hurls a shortish ball, offering width outside off, Jadeja again waits for the ball to arrive and then just dabs it past the diving gully fielder. India are behind by 78, whereas, England need 2 more wickets. 

Shortish, on the pads, Ravindra Jadeja nudges this one to the leg side. Finds backward square leg.

Floated, fuller and around off, Jadeja presses forward and defends it out. 

Tosses up again, full around off, Ravindra Jadeja prods ahead and smothers the ball out. 

SIX! Jadeja is not going to hang around. He will try to get some quick runs and apply some pressure on the English bowlers. This is bowled fuller again, around middle and spinning away, Ravindra Jadeja jumps out. Thwacks this one over the bowler for a biggie. 

A single as this is tucked to the mid-wicket region. 

Moeen tosses this one too, lands it around off, the ball hits the deck and spins in as Bumrah presses forward. The ball takes the inside edge, but hits Bumrah on his pad and falls safely on the deck. 

Lands it on a good length around off, Jadeja sticks on the back foot and defends it down on the surface.

Around off, length ball, this is nudged to the fielder at square leg. 

Pitched up, outside off, Ravindra Jadeja keeps his wits about himself and lets the ball through. 

Short-of-a-length delivery, banged on middle, RJ hops and tucks this to fine leg for a run. 

OUT! EDGED AND CAUGHT! Wicket number 5 for Robinson and he is on fire! The Indian batters just keep following each other back to the shed. None of them are showing any sort of resistance. Ollie serves this on a length, closer to the off pole, makes Ishant have a poke at this, but the ball holds its line after landing. Kisses the outside edge and Jos Buttler has an easy catch. We are nearing the curtains on this game. Just 2 more wickets away, are the Three Lions! 

Length-ball around off, this is kept out nicely by Bumrah as he strides forward. Another top over by Robinson! 

Tossed up ball landing full on middle, Jadeja knocks it down to long on for one. India trail by exactly 100 runs.

OUT! SOUND OF TIMBER! Shami is done for this Test match. Big turn for the off spinner. Moeen gives it a good toss and lands it on a fuller length outside off, it probably lands on one of the footmarks and breaks back in sharply. Shami tries to push it through the line by getting forward but it spins back in to beat his bat and goes on to shatter the stumps. England inching closer. Can they pick the remaining wickets before Lunch?

Flighted delivery, pitching full and close to off, Sharma is on the front foot as he blocks.

Fuller and around off, Sharma drives it through covers for a couple of runs.

A touch flatter this time, around off, Ishant goes back and defends it down to the off side.

Spinning back in from around off, Sharma stays back again and defends it down on the leg side, wide of short leg.

Again a shout for an lbw against Shami! Not given and England also decide not to review. Robinson angles in a length ball, around middle and leg, further going down, Shami tries to flick but misses. They put in an unsuccessful appeal. Missing leg, probably.

NOT OUT! Missing the leg stump. Identical to the last delivery, on a full length around middle and angling down, Shami again fails to flick and wears it on his pads. The appeal is made and this time the finger has gone up. Shami takes the referral. Nothing on the UltraEdge but the Ball Tracker confirms that it's missing the sticks.

The batsman has just watchfully blocked this out.

Fuller and on middle, this time Shami uses the angle and flicks it through square leg for a couple of runs.

FOUR! Even better shot, in front of square leg this time. Robinson is straight in line, on a length, Shami flicks it with nice timing and sends it to the fence.

Drifting down the leg side, Shami tries to nudge it fine but fails to connect.

Around off, on a length, kept out by Jadeja. 

FOUR! Good shot down the ground. Not a lot to be happy about for India, but this shot will lift the mood ever-so-slightly. On a length, around the off pole, Ravindra Jadeja just pushes this gently through mid off. 

Fuller, way outside off, RJ shows no interest in playing at that. 

EDGED AND FOUR! A bit streaky and this could have been the end of Jadeja too. On a length, angling away from around off, Ravindra Jadeja looks to drive but only manages an outside edge, which goes aerially past Moeen Ali at point, and runs away to the ropes. Moeen probably had all his weight on the left leg and hence didn't get enough time to react with a dive.

Fuller again, outside off, Jadeja leaves it untouched. 

Another length ball way outside off, Ravindra shoulders arms on this occasion. 

Swing and a miss! Pant will bat on his terms, regardless of the situation, he wants to attack the bowlers. Robinson angles across a shortish delivery, outside off, Pant jumps down the track, tries to slap it through the line but misses. Maybe, Rishabh Pant doesn't trust his defense enough to survive this moment.

On a length, around middle, this time Pant stays compact in his defense and blocks it down on the surface.

Around leg, on a length, Pant fails to work it around and is hit high on the pads.

Fuller, closer to off, Pant is standing outside the crease to smother the movement and defends it down.

OUT! CAUGHT AT SLIPS! Pant gets out defending. Hmm... Maybe, that's why he was swinging his bat. Ollie Robinson has shown great discipline this morning. His lines have been exemplary and he has altered his lengths superbly as well. This one is served in the channel outside off and the natural angle of the bowler takes it away from the left-hander. Pant could have left it alone but he wants to feel the ball. Goes after it with a defensive bat and edges it to third slip. Craig Overton has safe hands and England are four wickets away now from making it 1-1 in the series.

Huge shout for an lbw, not given. A big inswinger from Robinson, landing on a good length and jagging back in sharply. Shami shuffles across a bit in defense but misses. He is rapped on the pads, they appeal but the finger stays down. Maybe, too high. End of a superb over by Robinson.

On a length, close to off, Rahane stays back and taps it down to covers for a run.

Anderson delivers it on a good length, around middle, Pant is on the charge as he tries to defend. Misses the ball and is hit near the box. Is this smart batting or reckless?

Fuller this time, around middle and leg, Pant walks forward and flicks as his bat turns in his hands. The ball rolls in the gap at mid-wicket and they cross. Rishabh Pant is off the mark.

Around off on a length, the batsman has just watchfully blocked this out.

Fuller and on off, angling in, Rahane flicks it off his pads but finds mid-wicket.

OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Third wicket goes down for India this morning and England are celebrating big. Needless from Rahane. Anderson delivers it on a length and just outside off, it lands and moves away slightly, Rahane should have looked to defend it close to his body but needless hangs his bat out in defense. The ball moves away, takes a thick outside edge and goes to the keeper. As soon as Jos Buttler catches it, Joe Root jumps in delight. The crowd is loving it. India have now lost 5 wickets and staring down the barrel.

FOUR! Fifty for Virat Kohli! His first 50 of the series and he will be looking to turn this into a big one. Fuller-length ball, around off, Virat Kohli goes back and whips this through mid-wicket for a boundary. 

Virat Kohli has just watchfully blocked this out.

Good-length ball, on off, tapped to point this time. 

Good length again, fourth stump channel, Virat Kohli presses forward and hangs his bat in defense, but the ball shapes away late and beats the outside edge. 

FOUR! Save your legs, that was going to race away to the boundary. Overpitched slightly, around off, Kohli shows the full face of the bat and beats the diving mid on fielder (James Anderson) to his left, with a punch and gets his second boundary of the over. 

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! There it is! You are never settled as a batter in England and even though Kohli just got to his fifty in this over, he has to depart. Joe Root takes the catch and it is quite poetic how the English skipper plays a part in removing the Indian captain. Root seems pretty happy with his work. Back of a length, just around the off pole, the ball lands and holds its line slightly as Virat Kohli looks to block this one out with an angled bat. The ball catches the outside edge and goes to the left of Joe Root at first slip, who moves that side and makes no mistake. Two quick wickets and India are on the back foot now. Both the overnight batters have been sent packing and England are smelling blood. India are still behind by 117 runs! 

Short of a length, on off, tapped to covers for one. 

Ajinkya Rahane has just watchfully blocked this out.

Outside off, no shot offered. 

On a length, outside off, Rahane looks to defend but gets beaten on this occasion. 

Around off, fuller this time, Rahane prods ahead and pushes to covers. 

Length, outside off, shaping inwards, Rahane lets this pass by him, to Buttler. 

The batsman has just watchfully blocked this out.

That is defended solidly off the front foot.

Outside off, left alone by Rahane. 

FOUR! Wow! Well played by Rahane. A half-volley, around off this time, Ajinkya Rahane gets low and drives this one wonderfully through the cover-point region for a boundary. 

Around off, tapped to the off side. 

Angled around off and middle, this is knocked to the mid on region. 

Closer to off, length this time, Virat just dabs this one towards point. 

BEATEN! Wonderful delivery from Jimmy. This was a similar delivery to Virat's first-innings dismissal. Fuller in length, around off, the ball shapes away late as Virat Kohli looks to play straight, but he fails to get bat on ball this time. 

SHOUT FOR AN LBW! Back of a length, around off, Virat Kohli looks to defend, but the ball shoots up and hits Kohli high on the thigh pad. An appeal but turned down. Jimmy does not want the review. Root is looking around, hoping that someone will persuade him to take the review, but it does not happen. A good decision as the replays show that the ball was missing the wickets. 

Around off, pushed to covers this time. 

In the fourth stump channel, length, Virat Kohli shoulders arms this time. 

NOT OUT! A brilliant decision to take the review and the on-field decision has been overturned. England were over the moon but they have to be brought back here. The sound was off Virat's bat hitting his pad, not off the ball coming off the edge. On a length this time, in the zone of uncertainty outside off, Virat Kohli looks to push at this but the ball whistles through to Buttler, who takes it and appeals. The umpire raises his finger and the roof has been raised at Leeds. Virat Kohli turns around and looks to walk back, but he turns as Ajinkya Rahane from the other end persuades him to take the review. Virat is unsure if he edged that. The replays roll in and it turned out really well for India, as UltraEdge shows that Kohli hit his bat to his pad and there was no edge. Kohli survives.

On a fullish length, outside off, shapes away as the Indian captain makes a leave. 

First runs for Virat Kohli this morning! On a length, angling in, around off, Kohli drops this to the cover region and crosses ends. 

Lands it on a length, in the fourth stump channel, the ball jags back in quickly, as Ajinkya Rahane taps this one to the off side. 

FOUR! Confident shot from Rahane and this is the first boundary of the morning. Overpitched delivery, closer to off, Ajinkya Rahane pushes this one gently through the mid off region for a boundary. 

Outside off, it lands and shapes away, AR makes no movement to play at this as he leaves. 

Around off, on a length, Ajinkya defends this one out solidly. 

It's on a length and around off, Rahane defends it from the back foot to the off side.

Rahane gets off the mark. On a good length around off, Rahane pushes it defensively to the off side, finds the gap at covers and crosses for a run.

Beaten all ends up! Anderson dishes it out around off, on a fuller length and gets it to move away, Kohli commits himself on the front foot, tries to push inside the line and is beaten.

Inward movement on this delivery, it starts from a length around middle, Virat fails to work it around and is hit on the pads. They cross for a leg bye.

Lands it on a length and just outside off, a good leave by Rahane.

Anderson targets the stumps with an inswinger, landing on a length around off, Rahane meets it with a dead bat as he blocks it from the crease.

Angling in from around off, Pujara has his defensive bat down as he keeps it out safely to mid-wicket.

On a good length around off, Pujara defends it from the back foot back towards the bowler. Unlike Anderson, Ollie is making the batsman play more.

OUT! PUJARA IS GONE! Robinson has hit the jackpot. He comes up with a full delivery around off, shaping back in, Pujara offers no shot and takes it on his back pad. They appeal but the umpire stays still. Root has a word with his bowler and the keeper. This time he goes for the referral in time. Remember, the impact won't be an issue here as the batter was not offering any shot. The Ball Tracker rolls in and it shows three reds. Huge roar from the English players, they have got an early success this morning and it's the big wicket of Pujara. Surely, there was an error in judgement from Cheteshwar Pujara, he was undone first by the fuller length and then by the extravagant inward movement. To worsen the situation, he was hit on the back pad. Had that been on the front pad, it could have headed over the stumps. Once again he misses out on scoring a century.

Good first ball to Ajinkya. On a length and close to off, Rahane defends it from the inside half of his bat to the leg side.

On middle and leg, shaping down, Rahane tries to flick but it takes his pads and deflects down to fine leg for a leg bye. There's the first run for India this morning.

Fullish and just outside off, Kohli allows it through to the keeper. Called a no ball for overstepping. 

Around off on a good length, Kohli defends it from the back foot to the off side.

Anderson bowls it on a good length and in the corridor outside off, Kohli shoulders arms.

Angles it in around off and takes it away with the seam movement, Virat lifts his bat and allows it through to the keeper.

Identical to the last delivery, Anderson is playing on Kohli's patience here. Virat is in no mood to commit himself to any kind of a shot.

On a length and close to off, it straightens from there, Kohli has to play at that and he taps it down to point. Third maiden of the morning.

Robinson delivers it very full and around off, Pujara pushes it out from the bottom half of his bat to covers. He is on 91 and would love to get a hundred and end his lean patch.

Fuller in length and outside off, there is a hint of away movement, Pujara watches the line closely and then makes a leave.

Fuller again, a bit close to off but not close enough to bother the batsman. It lands and moves away, Cheteshwar Pujara just sees it through to the keeper.

Oohhh...that wasn't too far away from the off pole. Robinson lands it on a good length and close to off, this one just holds its line and Pujara allows it through. Brave leave in the end.

Slips a full ball down the leg side, Pujara tries to flick but misses.

Ollie Robinson returns to bowl in the channel outside off, shaping away off the seam, Pujara is forward to cover the line as he makes a leave. A couple of maidens to begin the day's play.

In the channel outside off, on a length again, not much movement on this occasion, Virat has nothing to do with it as he leaves it alone.

Anderson is sticking to the line outside off, a gentle away movement on this occasion, Kohli continues to leave it.

Jimmy keeps probing around off. Close to off and shapes away after landing on a length, Kohli covers his stumps and allows it through.

Another good delivery and another good leave from the Indian captain. On and around off, moving away off the seam, Kohli is very patient at the moment.

Anderson makes Kohli play. Serves it on middle and off, Kohli plays late and drops it with gentle hands in front of the cordon. Looks for a run but a loud shout of no comes from Pujara. Day 4 begins with a maiden over.

There is no bat on that one but Ball Tracker has umpire's call on wickets hitting the outer half of the leg pole! This is just what England needed to start this session.
