Kevin Pietersen believes England captain Ben Stokes is "devaluing his wicket" and has urged him to follow the lead of Jonny Bairstow, a man Mark Butcher says is experiencing "batting nirvana".
India's famed pace bowling unit for the umpteenth time put its team in pole position, bowling out England for 284 before the hosts just about managed to put a foot in the door by getting the top-order cheaply in an engrossing third day's play in the fifth Test. At stumps, India were 125 for 3 in their second innings with Cheteshwar Pujara (50 batting, 139 balls) displaying his gutsy avatar with a half-century, battling it out in the company of the flamboyant Rishabh Pant (30 batting, 46 balls). The overall lead stood at 257 runs.

England star Jonny Bairstow had started slow on Day 2 of the rescheduled 5th Test against India as the hosts went to Stumps at 84/5. On Day 3 too, he started cautiously, as Mohammed Shami zipped the ball around. This prompted Virat Kohli to have a go at him, with the two seen engaging in a feisty exchange. But Kohli's sledging seemed to spur Bairstow on more, as he switched gears and took the attack to the Indian bowlers and went on to score his third Test century in as many matches.
The glance over the right shoulder is becoming all too familiar. Zak Crawley has been here plenty of times before and if the pre-match words of his captain Ben Stokes are to be taken at face value he will have the chance to be in similar positions again.
India stand-in captain Jasprit Bumrah starred with both bat and ball as England's Stuart Broad conceded the most expensive over in Test history, giving up 35 runs at Edgbaston on Saturday.
England opener Zak Crawley's Test match struggles continued on day two of the Edgbaston Test against India as he recorded his ninth single-figure score in 11 Test innings.
James Anderson expects England to stay true to their attacking principles and hit their way out of trouble after a tough second day of their series-deciding Test against India.
