Day 3 Rishabh Pant has been struggling with his index finger, going outrageous for a moment, saving the ball from hitting the stump with his leg and then finally getting stumped by Ben Stokes! A subtle moment of confusion halfway down the crease ended his innings abruptly at 74, just a few centimeters away from the non-striker's crease.

He slightly cut the ball and ran for the single. Rishabh, on reaching the batting crease, was clearly heard saying that Rahul could have easily gone for the boundary. Rahul was on 98 when Rishabh defended the next ball. Meanwhile, it was the last over before the Lunch, and he desperately tried to get back Rahul on strike and went for the run. And that resulted in India losing a wicket. Ben Stokes was standing at cover when Rishabh's ball reached him. Instead of throwing towards Rahul's end, he made a direct hit towards Rishabh's and the later failed to slid his bat in.

The KL Rahul-Rishabh Pant partnership flourished under pressure, taking India past 240. Rahul played with composure and elegance, inching towards his century with sharp footwork and textbook strokes. However, he has to wait for some forty minutes Lunch break to get his Test ton. Pant, despite an evident finger issue, showed trademark flair—charging at Archer, scooping under pressure, and even reverse ramping for singles. His 50 came off 86 balls and included his 88th six in Tests, placing him just behind Sehwag in India’s all-time six-hitters list. India reached lunch at 248/4, firmly in control of the contest.
