There are six minutes remaining in Day 3 of a cricket match. England's players are taking their time as Bumrah bowls with the new ball. Crawley is playing cautiously, leaving several balls and only scoring two runs by clipping one to the deep fine. He walks away just as Bumrah starts his run-up, causing some frustration for Skipper Gill. Crawley continues to defend well but gets hit on the gloves, leading him to call the physio. The Indian slip fielders show gamesmanship by clapping for their teammates. Crawley survives the last ball, and at the end of the day, England is at 2 runs for no wicket at stumps.
Carse bowls a full delivery outside off, Akash tries to hit it, but edges to Brook, who makes a great diving catch. Bumrah comes in at number 11, starts with a delivery down the leg side, then hits a back of a length ball to gully, and digs out a yorker on the stumps.
Jadeja is out, caught by the keeper after a ball from Woakes. Akash Deep comes in at number 9 and is initially given out lbw on his first ball but reviews it. The review shows the ball is missing the wickets. He defends a delivery back to the bowler and is again given out lbw on the next ball, but the review again shows wickets missing.
Carse bowled his 21st over. He threw a length ball outside off to Washington, who defended it at mid off. A back-of-a-length ball was left alone. Woakes then had a maiden over. Carse bowled again to Washington, who was beaten by an angled ball that clipped his pads and went for a leg bye. The ball was going down leg.
India is starting to score runs quickly. Jadeja takes advantage of a wide ball from Root and hits it for four runs, getting past the fielder at cover point. Another fielder is in the deep, but he can't reach it in time to stop the ball.
Ravindra Jadeja scores 50 runs and celebrates with a sword gesture. He hits a shot off Root that goes down the ground. The mid-off fielder attempts to dive and stop the ball but is unsuccessful, allowing it to reach the boundary.
Stokes takes a wicket as the ball bounces off the pitch, hitting Nitish's bat and going to the keeper. This ends an important partnership for India. Washington now comes in to bat with Jadeja and defends the rest of the over.
Stokes bowls to Jadeja, who hits a full ball to cover but is sent back by Nitish. An overthrow to fine leg lets Nitish get off strike. Nitish gets struck on the head by a fast bouncer and falls down. The physio attends to him. After receiving some icepacks on his cheek, Nitish returns to the crease. Stokes then delivers a ball to Jadeja, who punches it to cover and takes a single.
Bashir hits the ball to Nitish, who pushes it long for a single. Jadeja then takes a single off the next delivery. Nitish makes a big drive through covers and gets three runs while Archer makes a dive to save one run. Jadeja finishes with another single on the last ball.
