England were 25 for no loss in their second innings when play ended early on the third day of the opening Test against India here on Friday owing to rain. India were bowled out for 278 in their first innings, which gave them a healthy lead of 95 runs. England trailed by 70 runs with Rory Burns (11) and Dom Sibley (9) at the crease.
Earlier, the sword came out again, this time meaning Ravindra Jadeja has justified his selection in the team, which gave India a priceless first-innings lead of 95 runs over England. The chatter around all-rounder Jadeja being preferred over specialist off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin would stop for the time being as the optimistic visitors focus on things more important to take them closer to victory and a 1-0 lead in the five-match series.
