Jamieson strikes again | Pant gone for 4
OUT! Another wicket for Kyle Jamieson and this time he gets rid of Rishabh Pant for 4. Jamieson from over-the-wicket and the ball just nips away after pitching. Pant plays a loose. Chases a wide one and edges it straight to Tom Latham at second slip. India in trouble early on Day 3. They have now lost half of their side with just 156 runs on the board.

I think if we get anything above 300, it'll be a really competitive score for us. I got off to a really good start, but I would've loved to score fifty or more. The conditions were against us when we were put into bat but I think we did well. At the end it's all about scoring runs, so it was important to have intent to score runs when given the opportunity. Whenever we played Ranji in the north of India, where the ball seams, it's quite similar to England, so I'm used to coming down the track to seamers. I don't think I could've done much about that ball (that dismissed me) because it was an inswinger but it seamed away after that. Virat Kohli has been an idol to me and an inspiration to so many Indians. He's been someone who has revolutionized Indian cricket and he's an inspiration to me and the rest of the Indian side.
