True to traditions, the third innings provides a big score at the Oval. The Indian openers were streaky last evening, tormented by the nip backers and outswingers of Josh Tongue. The former succumbed and Sai Sudharsan was out fairly early as well heading into the close of play. India got an unexpected bonus today as Akash Deep secured his first fifty after Crawley dropped him early in the day. Shubman Gill fell to the nip backer, Karun Nair was surprised by extra bounce and Dhruv Jurel was trapped by the outswinger as England found a few moments of joy. Yashasvi Jaiswal was Indiaās star batter though, as he came into his own after a sketchy start to notch up his 6th Test hundred - his 4th against England. Ravi Jadeja picked up another fifty, and then Washington Sundar provided some fireworks in a bloating last wicket partnership, ending with 53 as India set a target of 374.
