India will have to bat again in this Test, thanks to Ollie Pope and Ben Foakes, which will help England overcome their first innings deficit. In the third session with Foakes, Pope scored a tenacious century while fending off India's advances. Pope and Rehan Ahmed ensured there was no more damage after Ben Foakes was removed from the game. Day 3 ends with England leading by 126 runs at stumps. India may have dropped the opening session, but they dominated the second and made significant progress in securing a 1-0 series lead.
