IND vs ENG 3rd Test: India tightens grip with third wicket as Jadeja strikes wicket of Ollie Pope

In a display of dominance, India continued to assert their authority over proceedings on Day 4 of the third Test against England as Ravindra Jadeja claimed the crucial wicket of Ollie Pope.

Jadeja’s delivery, pitched on off-stump and angling in, enticed Pope into the cut shot. However, the ball gripped the surface just enough to induce a thick outside edge. Rohit Sharma, positioned at slip, exhibited superb reflexes to pouch the catch at hip-height, leaving Pope visibly disappointed as he trudged back to the pavilion.

With this dismissal, India further strengthened their position in the match, maintaining their stranglehold over the English batting lineup. The wicket marked Jadeja’s third scalp of the innings, highlighting his effectiveness with the ball on a deteriorating pitch.
