India faces grim survival battle
India faces grim survival battle, Stuart Broad took wickets at either end of a long, hot day while Moeen Ali turned the focus back on to his cricket as England strengthened their grip on the third Test against India in Southampton.
Southampton: Stuart Broad took wickets at either end of a long, hot day while Moeen Ali turned the focus back on to his cricket as England strengthened their grip on the third Test against India in Southampton.
At the close of Tuesday's third day, India were 323 for eight in reply to England's imposing first innings 569 for seven declared, a deficit of 246 runs and still needing a further 47 to avoid the follow-on.
India captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni was 50 not out and Mohammed Shami four not out. Broad, who had looked tired for much of this series, appeared to have regained his old zest while taking three for 65 in 23 overs.
Meanwhile James Anderson, England's other senior pace bowler, who had taken a wicket late on Monday, finished Tuesday with three for 52 in 24. Ali may still be categorised as an 'occasional' off-spinner but he too weighed in with valuable wickets either side of tea.
Before play started, Birmingham-born Ali, a practising Muslim, was warned by the International Cricket Council not to repeat his "political" protest that saw him wearing wristbands bearing the words 'Save Gaza' and 'Free Palestine' while batting on Monday.
Ali only managed 12 in an England total built on Ian Bell's 167, Gary Ballance's Test-best 156, captain Alastair Cook's morale-boosting 95 and debutant Jos Buttler's quickfire 85. India resumed on 25 for one. Murali Vijay was 11 not out and Cheteshwar Pujara four not out. England is 0-1 down in the five-match series after India's 95-run win at Lord's.
