India Vs England LIVE Score, 1st Test Day 3: Rain Forces Early Stumps In Headingley; IND Lead By 96 Runs

And that's that. The umpires decide the downpour is substantial enough to stop play, and off go the players. Ben Stokes protests, but to no avail. As the stoppage has come after 6pm local time, it's stumps for Day 3 in Headingley as per the rules. India end the day with KL Rahul nearing his fifty (47 not out) and Shubman Gill (6 not out) giving him company.

At stumps on Day 3: IND 90/2 in 23.5 overs, lead ENG by 96 runs.

Rahul continues to bat with languid grace. The 33-year-old has stitched a 60-run partnership with debutant Sai Sudharsan and together, they are certainly giving the English camp and Ben Stokes something to think about. Rahul now on 46 and India's lead is in the 80s.

Stokes continues, meanwhile, in his quest to get one to lift disconcertingly off a length.

IND 76/1 (20)

IND - 64/1 (15)

Bumrah was unhappy with the ball and asked the umpire to run it through the gauge. There were no issues there, but India will have to deal with this situation.

Indian batting coach Sitanshu Kotak on Saturday revealed that Shubman Gill has made batting changes post the Australian tour, after the Indian Test captain scored a magnificent century.

바카라�After Australia (tour) he has thought (about) certain things which he implemented," Kotak said in the post-day press conference. 바카라�Because after (the) Australia (tour) and England series (followed by) Champions Trophy and then we had IPL, I wouldn바카라�t say that I had a lot of time to do things (with Gill). But obviously, he worked on certain things and as soon as I saw him in the nets, I did speak to him that 바카라�you made certain changes바카라� and he said yes. A lot of credit to him for analysing what he needs to do and I think he did it really well," Kotak added.

바카라�It바카라�s a hell of an over, you know, watching him do his thing, Jasprit (Bumrah). He바카라�s very good to watch, you know, and Brookie (Harry Brook) just to come off air. He바카라�s not out. So happy days,바카라� said Duckett in praise of Bumrah after being knocked over by the 31-year-old pacer on 62.

India collapsed from 430/3 to 471 all out as England seized momentum on second day of the 1st IND vs ENG Test at Headingley. Ollie Pope scored a brilliant hundred but it would have been worse for the visitors, had it not been for Jasprit Bumrah, who scalped all three wickets yesterday.
