The innings, however, was stabilized by captain Shubman Gill바카라™s masterful 147 and Rishabh Pant바카라™s record-breaking 134, taking India to go beyond 400.
England바카라™s bowlers, led by Stokes and Josh Tongue--both claiming four wickets--brought India바카라™s innings to an end.

IND Vs ENG 1st Test Day 3 Weather Report
Speaking of the weather on the third day of the Anderson-Tendulkar series, rain is again in the forecast for Headingley. According to AccuWeather, the day is expected to begin mostly cloudy and breezy, but conditions should be dry enough for play to begin on time.
From 11 AM to 4 PM, the chances of rain are minimal, which should allow for a good stretch of uninterrupted cricket. However, from around 5 PM onwards, rain and thunderstorms are expected to return and may continue into the night. Humidity levels are forecast to be around 60%, with wind speeds reaching up to 24 km/h.
If the cloud cover persists, it could favour the Indian bowlers by offering extra movement--something that worked well for England earlier in the match when they took seven wickets for just 41 runs under similar conditions. With England still trailing and the weather looking uncertain, Day 3 remains the turning point in the Test match.
