India achieved a vital breakthrough soon after the Lunch break on Day 3 of the opening Test against England at Headingley, Leeds, with Jamie Smith getting bowled out for 40 runs thanks to some astute work on the boundary. Prasidh Krishna was introduced into the attack with a short-ball plan in hand and boundary fielders in position. He bowled a short ball outside off, which Smith tried to pull. But, he mis-timed his shot, lobbing the ball to deep square leg where Ravindra Jadeja was waiting. Jadeja assessed the catch properly and picked up the ball but found himself too close to the ropes and his momentum would carry him past. He displayed great awareness by passing the ball to Sai Sudharsan, who had come running from close by. Sudharsan finished the catch as Smith was out just three balls before the new ball was to be introduced. India's strategy with the short ball worked, providing them with a much-needed wicket.

The innings was led by centuries by Yashasvi Jaiswal (101 off 159 balls), Shubman Gill (147 off 227 balls), and Rishabh Pant (134 off 178 balls). England struggled to contain their way back on the second day morning as Ben Stokes and Josh Tongue took four wickets each to hold the visitors. England responded with a tentative beginning, losing Zak Crawley soon to Jasprit Bumrah. Ben Duckett and Ollie Pope, however, consolidated the innings with a good 122-run partnership for the second wicket. Duckett fell to Bumrah for 62, while Pope went on to make a good 106. Before Lunch on Day 3, Harry Brook scored his 12th Test half-century in merely 26 innings while continuing his good form.
