On DAY 1, after winning the toss and deciding to bat first at the Niranjan Shah Stadium in Rajkot, India managed to put 326/5 at Stumps against England on 15 February.
Despite losing Yashasvi Jaiswal (10) in the 3.5 over and Shubman Gill (0) in the 5.4 over to Mark Wood, skipper Rohit Sharma kept the momentum going. However, Tom Hartley picked up the wicket of Rajat Patidar (5) in the 8.5 over.
Looking at some stats, this was the second time that Shubman Gill was dismissed for a Duck in the ongoing series.
Following this, Ravindra Jadeja was promoted to bat and along with Rohit Sharma, they built a 4th wicket partnership of 204 stunning runs.
Before bring dismissed by Mark Wood on the third delivery of 64th over – as he was caught by Ben Stokes at mid-wicket – Rohit Sharma (131) scored his 11th Test Hundred. He has become the eldest Indian skipper to score a Test Century.
Then Sarfaraz Khan (62) was sent to keep the momentum going, an he completed his first half century on Test Debut and became the third fastest Indian batter to score 50 on men's Test debut for India. He is after Yuvraj Singh and Hardik Pandya.
But he was Run OUT by Mark Wood on the 5th delivery of 82nd over by James Anderson.
After this, Ravindra Jadeja scored his 4th Test hundred in 201 runs, which is his second on this (Rajkot) ground. Apart from this, he also completed his 3000 Test runs in 70 matches.
For England, Mark Wood took three wicket and Tom Hartley picked one.
There were a number of changes for India with Dhruv Jurel and Sarfaraz Khan making their Test debut today while Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja making a comeback in the side.
The Test series is currently evenly matched with England winning the first match and India clinching the second one in Vishakhapatnam.
Contrary to the conventional wisdom that India will steamroll their opponents on home soil, where they haven't lost a series in the last 12 years, England have made their presence felt in the series with their Bazball approach that has often caused the Indians to play catch-up with the visitors.
India, however, will be looking for a repeat of their performance in the second Test, where the might of Jasprit Bumrah was on full display as the pacer took 9 wickets in the Test match, exploiting the reverse-friendly conditions in Vishakhapatnam, while Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill also shone with a double century and a century respectively.
Meanwhile, England, who are heavily reliant on their batting, will look to do what they have done best in this series and put the Indian attack under pressure by taking the aggressive route. Given the inexperience in the Indian batting line-up, England's spinners will also feel they have a fair chance in Rajkot.
In team news, there will be some changes to the Indian line-up as Ravindra Jadeja has passed his fitness test and will be included in the squad for the second Test, while KL Rahul joins Virat Kohli among the high-profile players who will miss this encounter. With Shreyas Iyer out of the side for the last three matches, India are likely to opt for Sarfaraz Khan or Dhruv Jurel in his place.
England, on the other hand, have already announced their squad for the 3rd Test, opting for 2 pacers in the form of Mark Wood and James Anderson, while they will go with the combination of 3 spinners in Rehan Ahmed, Tom Hartley and Joe Root.
