In the third Test match in Rajkot, India and England locked horns. The second day kicked off positively for India, but they encountered a setback with the dismissal of centurion Ravindra Jadeja by Joe Root. His replacement, Ravichandran Ashwin, formed a partnership with debutant Dhruv Jurel until a misstep on Ashwin's part drew a caution from umpire Joel Wilson for running on the pitch, resulting in a 5-run penalty. Consequently, England will have a 5-run advantage as they begin their batting innings.
