England Fight Back, Jaiswal Ton Takes Lead to 281

Yashasvi Jaiswal's sixth Test hundred helped India extend their lead to 281, but England clawed their way back with three wickets on the third afternoon.

Jaiswal's hundred, his second of the series and fourth against England, was a shot that was symbolic of his run-scoring on the innings. He brought up his hundred with a nudge behind square, 82 of his first 100 runs coming behind square.

England's pacers kept coming back for spells and it finally paid off when Jaiswal, trying to upper cut again, picked out third man and fell for 118.
