India Vs England, 4th Test: Mohammed Shami's double strikes rattle England, lead by 78 runs
Virat Kohli registered a memorable victory in the third Test in Nottingham by 203 runs which helped them to bounce back in the five-match Test series. The stage is set for an exciting third day where the India bowlers have to re-start again.
Mohammed Shami dismissed opener Keaton Jennings (36) just before lunch as England ended the morning session with 92 on the board for the of three wickets on Day 3 of the Southampton Test. After the lunch Shami again strikes and scalped the wicket of Jonny Bairstow.
England, on the other hand, will be eager to get to anywhere between 300-350, to set up a dangerously high total for India on a pitch that is favouring the bowlers.
Lunch on Day 3 of the 4th Test.
