Virat Kohli’s second hundred of the series helped set England a daunting target of 521 to win on the third day at Trent Bridge.

India began the day 292 runs ahead and just two wickets down, and completely in charge. With three days left to play, and the rain, for the most part, expected to stay away, they took the chance to stretch their total as far as possible, grind England into the dirt, and tire out their bowlers, setting them up not just to win this game, but perhaps to gain an advantage in the fourth and fifth Tests.

There was, therefore, often little for the neutral to enjoy. Until Hardik Pandya’s unbeaten run-a-ball 52, India were content to play it slow and steady, and sometimes very slow; Cheteshwar Pujara’s 72 came at just over two runs an over, and Ajinkya Rahane’s 29 at just under. England’s bowlers toiled hard without much reward, or even hope that if reward did come, it would get back into the game. The game wasn’t exactly drifiting, but it did feel like the real action would happen once India declared.

Even Virat Kohli, who can lay claim to being the best white-ball batsman there has ever been, was content to tick along and play the long game. His hundred was excellent, but also not one of his most demanding or essential. Perhaps it was even unmemorable, apart from in the nineties, when Kohli became skittish and edged through Keaton Jennings for four, before another edge brought up the landmark. Unmemorable was what India aimed for throughout the day. They are so far ahead, they just needed to not allow England back into it.

There was plenty of fringe benefit to be gained too. Pujara’s half-century was his first in 16 first-class innings, and while he wasn’t fluent, it was still a welcome return to runs. In form, he is India’s rock. Should he continue to block out balls and criticism throughout the last two Tests, it could go a long way towards securing a magnificent turnaround.

Hardik Pandya’s half-century was also welcome. He has been in better form than Pujara – indeed, there is an argument to be made that after Kohli, he has been India’s standout batsman this year. And yet, coming into this Test, there were people questioning his place, suggesting he was neither a Test batsman or a bowler. With a brilliant five-wicket haul, and a belligerent fifty – seven fours and a six on a pitch were quick scoring has been fifty – he laid those claims to rest for the time being.

His innings was the impudent insult added to England’s injuries. Not just the miles in the legs of James Anderson and Stuart Broad which may well necessitate a rest – Broad intimated rotation might be required before the series began – but also Jonny Bairstow’s broken left middle finger, struck while keeping wicket by a ball which swung wildly after passing the stumps. He is likely to bat if required. Beyond that, his participation in the series is in doubt.

It is emblematic of England’s day and their Test that swing did more damage to their own cause than to India’s. According to CricViz data, the ball has swung more at Trent Bridge than it did at Lord’s, and yet it’s India, in a remarkable display of adaptation and fortitude after being 2-0 down and outplayed, who have made the most use of conditions, despite losing the toss. They have outbatted, outbowled, and outfielded England in this Test match.

Keaton Jennings and Alastair Cook may have survived to the close unbeaten, but with the pitch taking turn, variable bounce on show, and a mountain of scoreboard pressure giving licence to attack in the field, surely at some point over the next two days India will win this Test. If so, they will enter the fourth Test 2-1, with a few players having answered questions, and with a few more of England’s in doubt. This series isn’t over yet.
