Pink Ball Test: India 99/3 After Bowling England Out For 112

India took charge of the third Test on the first day itself with local boy Axar Patel, the left-arm spinner, leading the way with the second-best spell in day-night Test matches, picking six wickets f

Ollie Pope was bowled by Ashwin in the very first over the session, as he was deceived by a straight delivery that followed three consecutive balls that turned. Ben Stokes fell to Patel leg before the wicket in the next over, the dismissal being confirmed by the third umpire despite Stokes going for the review after the on-field umpire raised his finger.

Jofra Archer and Ben Foakes survived the next five overs before the former became Patel's fourth wicket of the day. Ashwin struck again two overs later as Jack Leach edged the third delivery of his over to gully.

Patel then waited for just under 10 overs for his next wicket as Stuart Broad holed out at deep square leg. Ben Foakes was the last wicket to fall for England as he was bowled by Patel in the 49th over.

Only the loss of captain Virat Kohli in the final over spoiled the opening day as India moved to 99 for three at the world's biggest cricket stadium with Rohit Sharma on 57 and Ajinkya Rahane on one. 

The Indian captain saw one tough chance dropped by Ollie Pope on 24 but soon after chopped Leach's left-arm spin on to his stumps and walked off visibly furious with himself.

India had earlier lost Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara early, both falling within six balls.
