India vs England 3rd Test Live: India have reached the point of ascendency in the ongoing third Test in Rajkot, having taken a 322-run lead against England after three days of play. Shubman Gill is batting on 65 as India still have 8 wickets in hand and England will hope to take early wickets.
Former England pacer Steve Finn has questioned Indian skipper Rohit Sharma's tactics in the third Test as the visitors came out all guns blazing and smashed 207 runs in just 35 overs in Rajkot. Rohit called upon R Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja very late as Ben Duckett was already set by then.
