Live: England vs India third Test | Cook, Jennings give England steady start after India make 329

England's Stuart Broad celebrates the wicket of Rishabh Pant on day 2 of the third Test against India in Nottingham on August 19, 2018.

Virat Kohli fell three short a hundred while Ajinkya Rahane finally rediscovered his touch as India made a steady start to the third Test.

India were bowled out for 329 after losing the toss on the second day of the third Test against England at Trent Bridge on Sunday.
After resuming on their overnight 307 for six, India lost their last four wickets for 22 runs in 19 balls.
James Anderson wrapped up the innings with two wickets in two balls as he dismissed tailenders Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah.
That means England's all-time leading Test wicket-taker is on a hat-trick when he next bowls in this match.
The wicket also took Anderson, who had innings figures of three for 64, to 556 career Test wickets -- just seven shy of retired Australia great Glenn McGrath's tally of 563, the most by a pace bowler in Test cricket. 
Virat Kohli, the India captain, top-scored with 97 on Saturday and shared a fourth-wicket stand of 159 with Ajinkya Rahane, who made 81.
This was the sort of day India had been waiting for all August. Its batsmen had left Lord’s shell-shocked, confidence blown to smithereens, with an embarrassing series loss looming on the horizon. But there was finally some relief at Trent Bridge on Saturday.
Virat Kohli fell three short a hundred while Ajinkya Rahane finally rediscovered his touch as India made a steady start to the third Test. The ball did not hoop around corners like it had last week but this was still a bold, purposeful day’s cricket from the visitor.

The charge was led by Kohli, who will be furious with the manner of his dismissal. The Indian captain had looked untroubled, over an hour into the final session, when Adil Rashid tossed a leg-break wide. Kohli’s eyes lit up and he was lured into a drive; the ball took the edge and settled into Ben Stokes’s hands at first slip.
