England jolted India with eight wickets in the first session on Day 4 to level the series 1-1 with an impressive innings and 76-run victory in the third Test at Headingley in Leeds. Ollie Robinson, James Anderson and Moeen Ali got through the remaining Indian batting order with ease as the visitors crumbled under pressure. After Cheteshwar Pujara fell early, Robinson removed skipper Virat Kohli as well to put India on the backfoot. Anderson got the prized scalp of Ajinkya Rahane while Robinson returned to dismiss Rishabh Pant. Mohammed Shami fell to Ali while Ishant Sharma was dismissed by Robinson who took a five-wicket haul. Pacer Craig Overton removed a dangerous looking Ravindra Jadeja for 30 runs and Mohammed Siraj in the same over to finish off India’s innings. Earlier, Pujara and Virat Kohli added 99 runs for the third wicket but failed to add any runs to the overnight score. Having folded for 78 in the first innings after electing to bat, India were further punished by the England batsmen, as they scored 432, taking a first-innings lead of 354 runs. But Pujara led India’s fight-back, with support from first Rohit Sharma and then Kohli. Pujara finished Day 3 unbeaten on 91 while India’s captain was 45 not out. (SCORECARD)
