In the ongoing third Test between India and England, Dhruv Jurel and Ravichandran Ashwin showcased a resilient partnership, adding 57 runs for the unbroken eighth wicket, guiding India to a total of 388 for seven at the lunch break on day two | Reddy Anna Book.
Starting the day's play at 326-5, India faced early setbacks as England's bowlers dismissed overnight batsmen Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav. However, Ashwin and debutant Jurel stood firm, steering India towards a potentially imposing total.
At the lunch interval, Jurel was unbeaten on 31 runs, highlighted by a daring ramp shot for six off Mark Wood, while Ashwin contributed 25 runs to the partnership.
Ashwin, the seasoned all-rounder, inadvertently handed England an advantage when he ran down the middle of the pitch, resulting in a five-run penalty for India.
As play resumed at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium, England's James Anderson struck early, dismissing Kuldeep for a mere four runs, caught behind the stumps.
Following Kuldeep's departure, Jadeja, who had reached his fourth Test century on the previous day, appeared tentative and ultimately fell to Joe Root after scoring 112 runs, featuring two sixes and nine fours.
Despite England's relentless efforts, Ashwin and Jurel successfully negotiated Wood's aggressive short-ball tactics, frustrating the English bowlers and maintaining India's resilience.
As the match progresses, both teams are gearing up for a compelling battle, with England set to begin their first innings at 5-0.
