After losing the toss, India will be happy with their performance on day one of the third Test at Mohali – having restricted England to 268/8. The visitors, though, will be disappointed with some of their dismissals, getting out to some really loose shots.
In addition to Wriddhiman Saha, India also lost KL Rahul due to injury and Karun Nair was handed a Test debut. On the other hand, England made three changes to their line-up from Vizag – bringing in Jos Buttler, Chris Woakes and Gareth Batty for Ben Duckett, Stuart Broad and Zafar Ansari (the latter two being unfit).
The morning session wasn’t going as planned for India. The Virat Kohli-led side dropped Alastair Cook twice off the bowling of Mohammed Shami and it looked like the England captain would make the Indians pay as he scored six boundaries in the first hour.
