Now it was turn of England, but the start visitors was looking for; as they lost Cook early with terrific delivery bowled by Shami. England wickets were falling in a hurry as Ashwin and Jayant Yadav ran through the batting line-up. Only root kept his cool and went on to make his half century. Sooner Root also lost his control and played unwanted short and got out. Since then, Bairstow and Stokes guarded things. They batted vigilantly and evaded further damage.England is still trailing by 352 runs in 1st innings and need to bat caustically. They need to score as many runs they can as it will be really difficult to bat in 4th innings.
