India vs England, 1st Test: India 257/6 at stumps on Day 3, trail England by 321 runs

England captain Root brings Archer for Pant. The Indian wicketkeeper welcomes the England pacer with back-to-back boundaries. First towards fine leg and then attacks towards sweeper cover region. Confident shots from the youngster. INDIA 84/4

Rishabh Pant, the hero of India's Border-Gavaskar title win in Australia, comes to the crease. Can he carry on the same show?

OVERS 26.3: WICKET! Dom Bess strikes again. Ajinkya Rahane departs for paltry 1. Poor shot selection from the India's vice captain. Rahane dances down the track, tries to drive through cover but finds Root who takes a stunner. Root dives to his left and grabs a one-handed screamer. What a catch from the England captain. India have lost their four batsmen under 100 runs. Bess is doing a great job here. Another big wicket for England.

India's vice-captain Ajinkya Rahane comes to the crease.

OVERS 24.4: WICKET! Dom Bess dismisses Virat Kohli for 11 runs. Brilliant piece of bowling from Bess. Sharp turn and bounce from him. Kohli tries to defend but gets an inside edge. Ollie Pope takes an easy catch at forward short leg. HUGE HUGE wicket for England. INDIA 71/3, trail by 507 runs.

The MA Chidamabaram Stadium's three stands - I, J and K - will be thrown open for spectators for an international match for the first time since 2012 when it hosts the second India-England Test from February 13.The three stands were sealed after the 2011 World Cup owing to various issues, depriving the city the opportunity to host matches at various events, including the World T20 in 2016 and the IPL final in 2019.

Bess to Kohli. Flighted delivery from Bess. Catch is the call but the ball falls short of the fielder. Brilliant effort from Burns. Bess isn't happy.

Joe Root is having a conversation with James Anderson and gives the ball to Dom Bess. A slip and a short leg fielder are in place.

Maiden over from Archer.

Virat Kohli has been dismissed 5 times by James Anderson in his Test career.

The experienced England speedster is luring Virat Kohli to play away from the body. It is an exciting battle between Kohli and Anderson.

Captain Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara are making their way to the middle. James Anderson is ready with the ball. Here we go...!!!

Cheteshwar Pujara is looking good. Captain Virat Kohli is also getting into the groove. A big partnership is needed here. Can Pujara-Kohli form a solid stand? India still trail by 519 runs. An exciting session is on the cards.

Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill departed early as India went into Lunch at 59/2 on Day 3 of the Chennai Test. Skipper Virat Kohli and Cheteshwar Pujara were unbeaten at the break but India have a lot to worry about as they lost their openers cheaply in reply to England's mammoth 578 in the first innings. Resuming on the overnight score of 555 for 8, England added another 20 runs before Jasprit Bumrah and Ashwin wrapped up the tail with the third new ball. A hostile Jofra Archer, then got Rohit early with a rising ball outside off and then removed Gill, courtesy a sharp catch from James Anderson at mid-on. Pujara and Kohli, however then negotiated the tricky 20-minute period before umpires decided to take the break. India still trail by 519 runs in the first innings.

Ben Stokes completes the final over for England before Lunch. Cheteshwar Pujara (20*) and Virat Kohli (4*) remain unbeaten at the break but India have a lot to think upon during the break as they have lost both their openers early in this first innings.

After a decent first over from Jack Leach, skipper Joe Root has now brought Dom Bess into the attack. Both Cheteshwar Pujara and Virat Kohli have to be pretty careful now with just under 6 minutes to go for Lunch.

Some turn straightaway for Jack Leach in his first over. But Cheteshwar Pujara manages a boundary in the over as well. IND 57/2
