3rd Test
The third test began with India winning the toss and choosing to bat first. After losing three wickets in the first 10 overs, Sharma and Jadeja put in impressive performances, each scoring centuries. Sarfaraz Khan also contributed with a decent half-century. Eventually, England managed to bowl India out in the 131st over for 445 runs, with Mark Wood taking four wickets.
England started their response relatively strong, with Ben Duckett kicking on and scoring an impressive 153 runs. However, they couldn’t maintain momentum, largely due to Mohammed Siraj’s four-wicket haul. England was bowled out for 319 runs in the 72nd over.
India had a good start in the second innings, with Yashasvi eventually scoring an impressive 214 runs. Shubman Gill also performed well, adding 91 runs to the scoreboard. After losing four wickets and securing a 557-run lead, India declared.
Facing such a significant (let’s call it impossible) target, England needed a massive performance but struggled from the start, losing four wickets before reaching 30 runs. Ravindra Jadeja’s five-wicket haul contributed significantly to England being bowled out for only 122 runs in the 40th over, securing India their second win of the series and a 2-1 lead.

4th TEST BETTING – Click here to bet
India 5/10
Draw 7/1
England 3/1
Suggested Bet: Ravindra Jadeja to be top Indian 1st innings Bowler at 5/2
With Jadeja taking 5 wickets in the first test and 7 in the third test, he has proven his ability to perform with the ball in hand and I am backing him to lead the Indian bowling attack in the first innings.
Suggested Bet: Yashasvi Jaiswal to score over 34.5 runs in the 1st innings at 17/20
In the last two games, Jaiswal has delivered very impressive performances, scoring over 200 runs in each, showcasing his current form and giving me confidence to back him to reach at least 35 runs in the 4th test.
