India vs England 2021: James Anderson rattled the Indian top-order in the 1st session of the 3rd test match at Headingley as Visitors went into the pavilion with a score of 56/4 on board. 

Earlier, surprisingly, Virat Kohli won the toss and opted to bat first on what looked like a good surface to bat on. Anderson drew the first blood in the first over of the game as KL Rahul nicked one to the keeper. 

In the fourth over, Cheteshwar Pujara also got the outside edge to give Anderson his second wicket. Kohli walked out to bat and once again looked solid with his defence. The Indian captain along with Rohit Sharma added 17 from 41 balls but an extended spell of Anderson gave England the third wicket of Kohli. 

Rohit and Ajinkya Rahane looked to revive the innings and were looking good for the 92 balls however in the final over before lunch, the Indian vice-captain poked one and Jos Buttler caught his fourth catch. 

Brief Score: 

India - 56/4 in 25.5 overs (Ajinkya Rahane - 18; James Anderson - 3/6)
