India stayed on top on Day 1 of the third Test against England. Local boy Axar Patel bagged six wickets to restrict visitors to 112 runs. England Opener Zak Crawley scored the most runs for the team (53 runs).
India will now look to play the twilight phase with cautiousness and get a good total on board. With the series locked at 1-1, India would be itching to take a series lead heading into the final Test, which will be played at the same venue – Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
