Virat Kohli's men scored 124 runs for 2 in their second innings. India's juggernaut extended their lead to 292 runs and maintained the totat control over the game.
The 20-year-old Rishabh Pant added new feather to his new glittering Test cap by becoming only the fourth Indian wicket-keeper to take five catches on his debut Test match .
Rishabh Pant, who became India's 291st Test player in ongoing third Test at Trent Bridge took the catches of Alaistair Cook, Keaton Jennings, Ollie Pope, Chris Woakes and Adil Rashid to become only the fourth Indian player in history to take five catches on their debut.
