Jadeja, Reddy keep India pumping after Rahul’s departure

India's Middle Session Drama: Jadeja and Reddy Keep India in the Hunt

India's progress was slow but steady on Day 3 of the third Test at Lord's, with the team reaching 316/5 by Tea, trailing England by 71 runs. KL Rahul's departure for 100, his second century of the series, was followed by a crucial unbroken stand of 62 between Ravindra Jadeja (40*) and Nitish Reddy (25*).

Rahul's century was cut short by a lapse in concentration, as he was caught by Harry Brook off Shoaib Bashir for 100. The two new batters, Jadeja and Reddy, had a few nervy moments, with Reddy surviving three run-out scares, including one where he was almost out for a duck.
