**India in Command After Day 3 Despite England Fightback**

**Edgbaston, [Date]** – India finished Day 3 of the second Test against England in a dominant position, leading by 244 runs with nine wickets in hand, despite a valiant fightback from the home side.

England, reeling at 84/5, mounted an extraordinary recovery thanks to a magnificent 303-run partnership between wicketkeeper-batter Jamie Smith and Harry Brook. Smith remained unbeaten on a heroic 184, the highest-ever score for an England wicketkeeper in Tests, while Brook contributed a brilliant 158.

However, India seized control after taking the second new ball. Akash Deep’s dismissal of Brook triggered a collapse, with England losing their last five wickets for just 34 runs to be all out for 407. Mohammed Siraj was the pick of the Indian bowlers, claiming six wickets.

India’s second innings began explosively, racing to 52/0 in just 7.4 overs. Yashasvi Jaiswal was dismissed LBW for 28 after some DRS drama, but KL Rahul (28*) and Karun Nair (7*) saw India through to the close of play at 64/1.

India will look to build on their lead on Day 4 and put themselves in a strong position to win the Test.
