India vs England 3rd Test Day 4 Highlights: IND vs ENG, After scoring 445 runs and dismissing the England squad at 319 in the first innings in the Third test at the Niranjan Shah Cricket Stadium in Rajkot, India scored another 430 runs and declared their second innings.
But, India destroyed the English batting lineup at a score of 112 runs in just 39.4 overs on Day 4. With this, India defeated England by a whopping 434 runs in the Third Test, which is India's biggest-ever win in terms of runs in their 577-Test history.
Now, India lead the series by 2-1 against England, all thanks to Yashasvi Jaiswal's double ton, Rohit Sharma's 11th century, Ravindra Jadeja's 4th century, Mohammed Siraj's 4 wickets in the first innings and Ravindra Jadeja's fifer in the second innings.
India's previous best performance in Test cricket arrived in 2021 when they triumphed against New Zealand by 372 runs, followed by 337 runs against South Africa in Delhi in 2015. The big victory against England has now propelled India to the second position in the World Test Championship (WTC) rankings.
Earlier in the second innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal (214*), Shubman Gill (91), and Sarfraz Khan(68*) propelled India to a 500-run-plus lead. Following this, skipper Rohit Sharma and co. decided to declare the innings and England had to chase a huge total of 556 runs.
In the second innings, English batters were seen struggling from the very beginning and kept losing the wickets. By 122, they lost all of their wickets and lost the Test too.
India will face England for the fourth Test at JSCA International Stadium Complex in Ranchi from 23 February.
Earlier in the day, India lost the wickets of Shubman Gill and Kuldeep Yadav but not before the duo went past the 50-run mark for their partnership. Shubman was the first to go after being a victim of a bad running call and missing out on a genuinely deserved century. Kuldeep soon followed after edging a delivery from Rehan Ahmed straight to Ben Stokes at slip.
Yashasvi Jaiswal then resumed his innings after leaving the ground owing to back spasms on Day 3 and he was soon joined by another Mumbai cricketer in the form of Sarafarz Khan. The two batters put up an over 50 run partnership to help India past the 300 run total before lunch while the lead has also gone over 430 runs.
At the start of the day, Kuldeep Yadav revealed that Ravichandran Ashwin could soon join the Indian team for this match. And soon afterward, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah confirmed the news via an official release.
On the third day of the Test match, England lost 8 wickets in quick succession after resuming the day with a score of 207/5. Mohammed Siraj led the Indian attack with 4 wickets, while Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja each claimed 2 wickets.
India, on the other hand, started their 2nd innings aggressively with the usual opening pair of skipper Rohit Sharma and Yashasvi Jaiswal. However, first innings centurion Rohit was quickly dismissed by England's Joe Root in the second innings.
After the skipper's dismissal, India's two young guns, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Shubman Gill, put on a 155-run partnership that not only helped stabilize the Indian innings but also put England on the back foot. Yashasvi Jaiswal furthered his sensational run in the series with an unbeaten 3rd Test century.
However, Jaiswal was forced to leave the field with back spasms and was replaced by Rajat Patidar, who struggled to find his feet at the crease and was eventually dismissed without any change to the scoreboard.
Joe Root and Tom Hartley were England's only wicket-takers on a day that did not go in their favour. But you can bet on this Ben Stokes-led side to come back from behind on day four and spring a few surprises. The immediate aim for England would be to break the current partnership and bowl India out for a lead of under 400 runs before chasing down an insurmountable target.
India and England Playing XI:
England: Zak Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes (C), Ben Foakes (w/k), Rehan Ahmed, Tom Hartley, Mark Wood, James Anderson
India: Rohit Sharma (C), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill, Rajat Patidar, Sarfaraz Khan, Ravindra Jadeja, Dhruv Jurel (w/k), Ravichandran Ashwin, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj
Key highlights of the day so far:
1) Shubman Gill and Kuldeep Yadav resumed batting at the Niranjan Shah stadium in Rajkot. The two batters looked comfortable at the crease, with no serious degradation visible on this 4th day pitch.
2) Shubman and Kuldeep helped India past the lead of 350 while Shubman has now gone into his 80s and is looking poised to get a big score.
3) Shubman Gill was eventually dismissed on score of 91 owing to a run-out. A little hesitation from Kuldeep and Shubman and a tight throw from England meant the end of Shubman's innings.
4) Kuldeep Yadav soon joined Gill in the dugout after edging a delivery from Joe Root straight into the hands of Ben Stokes at slip who made no mistake.
5) Yashasvi Jaiswal started his innings with a bit of caution but soon stamped his authority in this match once more with a slew of aggressive shots.
6) Sarafaraz Khan soon joined Jaiswal and matched the left hander shot for shot, helping stitch together an over 50 run partnership and getting the lead to around 440 run mark.
7) Sarfaraz Khan completed his second half century off 65 balls (5 x 4, 1 x 6).
8) Yashasvi Jaiswal completed his 200 off 231 balls (14 x 4, 10 x 6). Looking at some stats, with his double ton, Yashasvi has now become the only third Indian after Vinod Kambli and Virat Kohli to hit 200s in successive Tests. Apart from this, he also registered his name in the list of Indian legends who scored double hundreds in second innings for India. He also has now the most sixes (12) globally in a Test innings.
7) Innings Break: India score 430/4 in 98 (Y Jaiswal 214, S Khan 68). India now have the lead of 556 runs.

India vs England Live Score: IND 314/4 at Lunch
India vs England Live Score: Sarfaraz Khan and Yashasvi Jaiswal's aggressive batting has taken India to 314/4 at lunch, with a lead of 440 runs. The hosts were in a difficult position after losing the wickets of well-set Shubman Gill and Kuldeep Yadav in quick succession.
However, Yashasvi Jaiswal replaced Gill at the crease and resumed his innings where he left off yesterday. He was soon joined by Sarfaraz, who matched the left-hander shot for shot. The pair took the English bowling to task, especially in the final overs of the match, using the aerial route more often than not to build a 56-run partnership off just 62 balls.
It was a session that definitely belonged to India, who scored 118 runs while losing just 2 wickets. England's bowlers tried hard to find a way through this Indian batting line-up, but Rehan Ahmed and Joe Root were the only two wicket-takers in the session.
