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.
India had earlier defeated Derbyshire by seven wickets. After Harshal Patel lifted India from a precarious position to 149 for eight with a 36-ball 54, the visiting bowlers fired in unison to bowl out the county side for 139 with three balls to spare. Arshdeep Singh, Avesh Khan, Yuzvendra Chahal and Harshal picked up two wickets apiece as Northamptonshire failed to overcome India's total.

BIRMINGHAM, England : Jonny Bairstow led England's fightback with a counter-attacking unbeaten 91 to guide the hosts to 200-6 in reply to India's 416 on day three of the rescheduled fifth test at Edgbaston on Sunday.
Brian Lara congratulated Jasprit Bumrah after the stand-in India skipper took a world record 35 runs off a Stuart Broad over on day two of the rescheduled fifth Test against England at Edgbaston. Bumrah, who is India's bowling spearhead, displayed his prowess with the bat as India's tail wagged to help the visitors amass a total of 416, recovering from a precarious 98/5, in their first innings. The two centurions of India's first innings, Rishabh Pant (146) and Ravindra Jadeja (104), led the remarkable recover with a record sixth-wicket stand of 222. Bumrah (31* off 16 balls) scored 29 runs in the over bowled by Broad, while six runs came off extras. The 35 total runs conceded are the most ever scored in a single Test-match over, surpassing the previous record (28 runs) held by Lara, Australia's George Bailey and South Africa's Keshav Maharaj.
Daniel Vettori on Sunday said Nathan Lyon's ability to combine spin with bounce makes him a lethal weapon on turning pitches -- and for years to come. The 34-year-old Lyon towered above the Sri Lankan spinners in the team's thrashing of the hosts in the recent opening Test in Galle to return with match figures of 9-121. The performance took Lyon into the top 10 leading wicket-takers of all time with 436 wickets in 109 Tests.
