Commentary

So that is it from this game. This is Probuddha Bhattacharjee taking you leave on behalf of my co-commentator Soorya. You can however change tabs and enjoy the live-coverage of PSL on Sporskeeda.

Ravindra Jadeja (Player of the Match): I was looking to just build a partnership with Rohit as we were in a bad position at 33/3. I just tried to watch the ball and keep the runs coming, my aim was not get into a shell. I know this wicket, once we bat first the ball comes on the bat nicely and in the second innings it gets difficult. Once Rohit won the toss, I was like this is what all wanted. I think on this wicket, we don't get easy wickets, we need to work hard, as this surface is good for batting. We need to keep bowling in good areas. We need to earn the wickets on this surface.

Rohit Sharma (Indian Captain): Well see when you are playing Test cricket it is not played over two days or three days. We always back ourselves to be in the game for five days. They played well. They batted really well and put us under pressure. But we have got class on our squad. The message was to stay calm. Not drift from what we want as a team. I'm proud of my team because they stuck to the plans. I mean specially for this game, Jadeja has got a good experience of playing in this format. He has scored a good amount of runs and we wanted that right and left hand combination. We all know Sarfaraz. He did what he does the best. We don't have any long term plan with the batting order. We go with whatever we feel is right for that day and that match and go with the flow. Honestly, a lot of turning points. Once we won the toss, that was a good toss to win because we know how important it is to put runs on the board. Also, to get that lead. The way we bowled after the onslaught from the English batters was brilliant. The bowlers showed great character there. I have spoken a lot about Yashasvi in Vizag as well. Even outside the dressing room, there have been a lot of talks about him. I will stay calm about him and not talk much about him. He is young and has started of his career on a high. I hope he continues to deliver for us.

Ben Stokes, England captain: Ben Duckett played an unbelievable innings, that was the tone we wanted to set for our first innings first time around. For us it was about identifying that opportunity to try and push the scoreboard to get as close as possible to India's total. That said, I actually wanted to bowl yesterday, although it came sooner than what we wanted. We wanted to try and push the game as much as we could due to the nature of the wicket, sometimes the game plan doesn't work out. That's sports at times. Everyone's got a perception about things, but the opinions of the people in the dressing room is what matters. We know that things don't always work out. 2-1 down in the series, still two games to go. We leave this game behind us just like the 1st and 2nd game, even with those results, we have to win the next couple of games to win the series. That's what we're trying to do.

Yashasvi Jaiswal: Just trying to make it big whenever I'm set. In Test cricket, whenever I'm playing well I try to make sure I play as long as I can for my team. It was difficult for me yesterday. I had to wait and then play my shots. Once I was settled I could play my shots. After sometime my back wasn't fine. I didn't want to go out but I had to. Lots of thoughts in my mind the next day but I wanted to give myself time and if I was set I knew I could take it as deep as I could. I felt there was something in the wicket. It was really important for me to give a good start. I was trying to make sure I could play as many balls as possible. If I'm set I need to make it big. My seniors always tell me if I'm set I need to make it big. Seeing how Rohit bhai and Jaddu bhai played the first innings motivated me a lot. When I was inside I kept thinking that when I go out I wanted to make it count. It's incredible to see them (coaching staff) put in a lot of efforts. I needed to make sure in my mind that I give my 100 per cent.

Match End!!!!

India - 445 and 430/4 dec
England - 319 and 122
India win the match by 434 runs and take a 2-1 lead in the series.

Yashasvi Jaiswal - 214 (236)* | Ravindra Jadeja - 5/41
Ben Duckett - 153 (151) | Mark Wood - 4/114

India have completed a convincing win over England and have taken a 2-1 lead in the series. It has been team-performance with different heroes bailing them out of different situations.

India won the toss and opted to bat first in the match. They were struggling at one stage in the innings at 33 for three. It was at this stage Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja got together and bailed India out of trouble. After this the middle-order continued the good work and ensured that India reached a total of 445 runs in the first innings.

In their first attempt with the bat in the match, England looked brilliant. Ben Duckett played an aggressive knock of 153 runs and it looked like England will take a first innings lead and put India under pressure. They were comfortably positioned at 224 for 2, when India struck back. The bowling unit of the hosts, managed to pick up the last eight wickets for 95 runs and restrict England to 319.

India came out to bat for a second time with a 126-run lead. In the second innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal scored his second double hundred of the series and ensured that India will set a huge target for the visitors. He was aided by Shubman Gill and Sarfaraz Khan in India's journey to 440 for 4 before declaring.

England had a target of 557 in the fourth innings to chase and they succumbed big time under it. The Indian bowlers were exceptional and were led by Ravindra Jadeja. He picked up five wickets in the innings and ensured that England was bundled out cheaply for just 122 runs. With that India won the game by 434 runs. It was their biggest ever win by runs.

That is it!!! India gave defeated England by 434 runs in the third Test and have taken a 2-1 lead in the series. Jadeja has also taken a fifer here. This is India's biggest ever win by runs in the history.

39.4 Ravindra Jadeja to Mark Wood, OUT! FIVE FOR JADEJA AND INDIA WRAP THINGS UP! Length delivery outside the off stump and Wood steps out to smack it down the ground. Launches it towards long off but cannot clear Jaiswal who moves to his left and makes no mistake. India trounce England by a massive 434 runs and go 2-1 up in the series!

39.3 Ravindra Jadeja to Mark Wood, AH! Goes for the booming slog sweep off a full length around the off stump. Turns away though as he wears it on his pads

39.2 Ravindra Jadeja to Mark Wood, SKIED BUT SAFE! Steps out and launches this length delivery outside the off stump over the covers. Miscued, but it drops safely into the deep for a brace

39.1 Ravindra Jadeja to Mark Wood, short and turning away in the channel. Wood backs away and flat-bats it to cover

Wood has batted with a strike rate of nearly 300 here. So, a momentary return of the Baz-ball.

38.6 Ravichandran Ashwin to James Anderson, wasted delivery down the leg-side. Left alone and another good take by Jurel

38.5 Ravichandran Ashwin to James Anderson, OH! Skids on off a good length on off stump. Anderson hangs back and is lucky to bring his bat down on time to keep it out

38.4 Ravichandran Ashwin to Mark Wood, full and tossed up around the off stump. Wood steps out and mistimes his swing wide of long on before deep mid-wicket moves to his left and relays it to long on. Just a single!

38.3 Ravichandran Ashwin to Mark Wood, FOUR! Flighted full outside the off stump and Wood sits on one knee to launch it powerfully over mid-off. Clears the fielder as it races down to the fence

38.2 Ravichandran Ashwin to James Anderson, fuller at the stumps. Anderson turns it through mid-wicket and hands the strike to Wood

38.1 Ravichandran Ashwin to James Anderson, and there comes the reverse! Except, Anderson doesn't connect as he's beaten

India will have to wait for the review but it seems like they are pretty confident of the appeal. Wood survives, the decision has been overturned. His fun time with the bat continues.
