Anderson led England's fightback after India got a strong opening partnership.

But rain and bad light forced early stumps and India will rely on Rahul and Pant to revive the innings.

It's time for Day 3 of the first Test!

WICKET! Rishabh Pant gets a top-edge for six but then hits one straight to short-cover. Big blow to India as Ollie Robinson strikes again.

India have the lead! 👏

This has turned out to be a fine partnership (41 runs) between KL Rahul (75*) and Ravindra Jadeja (24*) for the 6th wicket. They've picked the right balls to attack and defended with steely resolve.

1st Test, Day 3 Live: scroll.in/field/1002219/…
#ENGvIND

That will be lunch!

India are 191/5 (66 overs) and lead by 8 runs. KL Rahul is unbeaten on 77 off 202 and Ravindra Jadeja is on 27 off 53.

Despite Rishabh Pant falling early, this was a good session for the visitors.

We're ready for the post-lunch session! KL Rahul and Ravindra Jadeja have done well so far but the job isn't done. Another crucial passage of play coming up. Here we go!

1st Test, Day 3 Live: scroll.in/field/1002219/…
#ENGvIND

DROPPED! KL Rahul gets another reprieve! James Anderson the bowler again and this time it is Joe Root who drops the catch at first slip. It came at a good height and should've been taken.

1st Test, Day 3 Live: scroll.in/field/1002219/…
#ENGvIND

WICKET! Anderson finally gets Rahul. After two dropped catches, this time Buttler makes no mistake. The end of a phenomenal knock by Rahul (84 off 214), he played the anchor brilliantly and guided India to the lead.

WICKET! Shardul Thakur is out for a duck as Joe Root makes no mistake in the slips this time. James Anderson has his fourth.

WICKET! Robinson returns to the attack, gets hit for two fours, but gets the key wicket of Jadeja. The left-hander walks back for a brilliant 56 off 86. India lead by 49 runs.

DROPPED! Anderson saw two catches dropped in the slips off his bowling and now he drops one running back from mid-on. Shami gets a reprieve. England's catching continues to be poor.

1st Test, Day 3 Live: scroll.in/field/1002219/…
#ENGvIND

WICKET! The second new ball is taken and Robinson gets his fourth. Shami did well to score 13 off 20 but is clean bowled. India lead by 62 runs with one wicket in hand.
