Nottingham, August 18: India will face England in the third Test that the visitors will hope at least to draw if not win to stay relevant in the five-match series. England have won at Edgbaston and at Lord's to take a 2-0 lead in the series.
Only Don Bradman's Australia have managed to reverse a 0-2 deficit in the shores of England and that happened way back in 1936-37. So, the task is tough for India who also tussle with the modest form of frontline batsmen except skipper Virat Kohli, who has cleared fitness test to play this match.
Will Rishabh Pant make his debut? Will Jasprit Bumrah return to the side mostly at the expense of Umesh Yadav.

BOOYY...What a shot to collect your first runs in Test cricket. Pant hammers Rashid for a six
Rishabh Pant, the new kid on the block, is out there with Hardik Pandya

Hardik Pandya has joined Kohli in the middle and the present session run rate is 4.94.. Excellent
WICKET 4: Rahane c Cook b Broad 81 and that was a wonderful catch by Cook at first slip. Pure instinct.
Kohli and Rahane bring up 150 for the 4th wicket in 236 balls. Impeccable batting.
Meanwhile, It's the 10th anniversary of Kohli's ODI debut and it came against Sri Lanka in Dambulla in 2008 on this day. Time flies and how!
Excellent over by Broad beat Kohli two times but an edge eluded him. A few words and smile - from both the parties - follow. Good stuff

It's TEA in Trent Bridge and India are 189 for three. They managed the session without losing a wicket. And added more than 100 runs
Rahane too brings up his fifty with a boundary off Chris Woakes and he's only the second Indian batsman after Kohli to reach the mark on this tour so far.
Virat Kohli has made his fifty and Rahane is not too far behind. These two have made batting look easy.
Kohli and Rahane look smooth here as they have so far added 86 runs 4.12 runs per over. Excellent batting

Pujara has joined Rahul in the middle and can they keep the momentum going?
WICKET NO 1: Shikhar Dhawan edges Woakes to Jos Buttler at second slip - 61/1
50 up for India with Rahul hammering Woakes for a four
Dhawan was benched after first Test and he looked comfortable in these rather un English conditions
One hour is over at Trent Bridge and the drinks is taken. India are 43/0 and it should sound sweet to Rahul and Dhawan
At the moment, India are going at 3.08 runs per over. An important passage
The pitch is sluggish and the green tinge on the pitch appears nothing more than a luxury at the moment
