England 182-2 as India finally finds some joy in 3rd test

Leeds, England: England lost both openers as its lead moved beyond 100 by lunch on Day 2 of the third test against India on Thursday.

Resuming on 120-0 in reply to India's 78 all out, England advanced to 182-2 at Headingley with Dawid Malan ticking over on 27 in his first test since 2018 and captain Joe Root on 14, having made another good start. The scoring rate had slowed slightly, though, in the face of more disciplined bowling by the end of the session, especially from Jasprit Bumrah. Haseeb Hameed, who was struck on the helmet by a bouncer from Bumrah, had 28 straight dot balls before getting bowled by offspinner Ravindra Jadeja for 68 for the second wicket of the morning.
