India vs England 3rd Test Day 4 Live Cricket Score: England bounced back in the five-match Test series with a commanding win over Virat Kohli and company, winning the third encounter in Leeds by an inning and 76 runs. With the result, the five-match series now stands squared at 1-1.  

After being bowled out for 78 earlier in the match, India this time managed 278 in their second innings with much of the runs coming on Day 3. However, the team started off on a poor note and lost eight wickets in the opening session of Day 4. Ollie Robinson struck five, Craig Overton picked three, and James Anderson and Moeen Ali shared one wicket each. 

With the bat, Joe Root led the show for the hosts, scoring his third century of the series and found great support from his teammates as England put a massive 432 in their first inning. 

India started Day 4 on a tough note and lost Cheteshwar Pujara before he could add any run to his overnight score of 91. Pujara was dismissed after Root took a successful DRS, when the umpire turned down a lbw appeal against the batsman. The hosts then nearly dismissed Virat Kohli but this time DRS came to India's rescue saving the Indian skipper from being caught behind. 

However, Kohli failed to last long as he was caught at slips by Root on 55. Both the dismissals were inflicted by Robinson, thus pushing India on the backfoot right from the word go.
