Skipper Rohit Sharma`s unbeaten half-century was a sigh of relief for the hosts after India lost early blows. England pacer Mark Wood shone brightly as he helped his side to register three wickets for 93 runs at lunch on day one of the IND vs ENG 3rd Test.
Wood single-handedly bagged two wickets for 26 runs and spinner Tom Hartley accompanied him by picking the wicket of Rajat Patidar for just five runs.
