Despite a large -scale partnership between Brooke and Smith between a very good day: 244 runs move with 9 wickets, a strong position to press to win. Day fiery Siraj Star. Strategy for tomorrow: Get enough runs in 2 sessions and do 140–150 overs to get England out.

An extraordinary day of Test match cricket. 🏏 Brook and Smith notable partnership but Siraj and Deep pulled it back. Sadly, the England bowlers could not match him. It makes a big effort to prevent India from winning.

Duke ball, dead wicket, brilliant batting #Shubhmangill With good support from Yashasvi and Jadeja. ENG 84/5 and then Smith and Brook’s stunning knock, 303 -run partnership and then Sirj and Akashdeep gave IND to 180 runs to share 10 wickets. #INDVSENG

When Brook and Smith were re -writing to the script, it seemed that England had caught the pen. But Siraj’s fire and Akashdeep’s heart expelled it out of his hands. This magic not only changed the session, flipped the fate of this test.
