India v England - England tour of India - 3rd Test - Day 4 – Live Score and Update
India 316 & 239/9 (83.0 ov) v England 523 - India lead by 32 runs with 1 wicket remaining
On Saturday, India led a fight back in the third Test against England where after facing a terrible first day while batting they succumbed on 316, only to be thrashed in the field by the English batsmen on the second and third day.
With England finishing off on 509 for six, on Friday, it was imperative for India to end the English innings today in order to get another chance to bat.
They struck on the second delivery of the day when http://www.senore.com/Cricket/GP-Swann-c1501 was dismissed by Ojha with 21 runs to his name.
This was an important wicket as it gave the Indians confidence to put their opponents on the back foot in order to halt the scoring rate.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MJ-Prior-c1984 was England’s only batsman who could drive the side towards a bigger total, but the batsman could add only one run to his overnight score before walking back to the pavilion, with him out of their way, India finished off the England innings with 523 runs on the board.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/PP-Ojha-c2198 was India’s best bowler in this innings with a four-wicket haul.
It was now time for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 struck by nabbing V Sehwag, who was clean-bowled by Swann after hitting 49 runs.
Then with 98 on the board, the fielding side struck for the second time when http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CA-Pujara-c1209 (8) was run out.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ST-Finn-c2566 then decided that it was his time to strike as he nabbed the wicket of G Gambhir, who fell after smashing 40 runs.
http://www.senore.com/Cricket/SR-Tendulkar-c2556 was disappointing today, as he fell after scoring only five runs, this innings will now add more pressure on the batsman, who is struggling to retain his spot in the national team.
Finn backed by http://www.senore.com/Cricket/R-Ashwin-c2228, who jabbed 83 runs to end the day with India on 239 for nine, securing a 32-run lead.
