Worst possible start for England. First innings century maker Keaton Jennings trapped LBW third ball by Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Jennings thus joined a rare group of cricketers who have a hundred and duck on debut, Gundappa Vishwanath, Andrew Hudson, and Mohammad Wasim.

Day 3 Recap

It was another dominant display of batting prowess from India's Test captain Virat Kohli, who didn't let Murali Vijay's incredible ton go waste and went on to register a century himself.

India started off Day 3 in Mumbai at 146 for 1 with Murali Vijay and Cheteshwar Pujara looking to take the team forward through the tricky first session.

Murali Vijay became only the third Indian opener secure a hundred at the Wankhede Stadium as India continued their dominant run despite Cheteshwar Pujra's second-ball dismissal on 47 as the right-handed batsman failed to notch up another half century.

But, the post lunch session belonged to England as Alastair Cook and Co. took four Indian wickets Kohli looked unfazed and continued building his innings. He was approaching yet another hundred Tea, hitting 83 off 171 balls laced with nine fours at that stage.

India were 348 for 6 as England were hoping to wrap-up the Indian tail under 400 but Virat had other ideas.

First a decent run with Ravindra Jadeja, who contributed 25 runs in the partnership with Kohli and then and 87-run partnership with Jayant Yadav got India into driver's seat by the end of third day's play.

In the process, Kohli also earned his 15th Test century in style, dictating terms and breaking milestones yet again.
