They say Day Three of any Test is a moving day. Particularly so in England, especially if you have two proactive teams like India and England involved. Two teams who are willing to take the game forward with positive play. And Day Three at Edgbaston on Sunday, did prove to be a moving day.
England, who had started proceedings at 84 for five, were bowled out for 284, giving India a sizeable lead of 132, despite a counter-attacking hundred for the ages by England’s man in form, Jonny Bairstow (106, 140 balls, 14x4, 2x6).
