Ravichandran Ashwin: India spinner out of third Test against England because of family emergency -
England have lost two quick wickets this morning. Root gone for 18, a reverse scoop shot to Bumrah which goes straight to Jaiswal at second slip who gobbles it up. Root getting plenty from the pundits for what was clearly a ridiculous choice of shot considering the circumstances of the game and the bowler. Bairstow next in and goes 4th ball for a duck, plumb LBW to Kuldeep, as plumb as you will ever see. Bairstow of course reviews it, possibly the plumbest LBW ever to be reviewed. On your way Jonny! Ben Duckett brings up his 150, and then gets a rank long hop outside the off stump from Kuldeep which he pops into the hands of Gill at extra cover, gone for 153 after what was a truly great knock, England 260-5. Stokes and Foakes need to get their heads down and dig in here, forget about Bazball for a while.
289 - for5 wickets(59.3overs)
England trail India by 156 runs with 5 wickets remaining
Stokes gone for 41 shortly after lunch, caught at long on by Bumrah off the bowling of Jadeja. Now followed by Foakes next ball, caught at mid-on by Rohit off Siraj, England 299-7.

Is that J.J. Hartley that is now in ?
No it’s J R Hartley, expect him to fish for one outside the off stump shortly.
