Images from Day 3 of the first Test between England and India, at Trent Bridge, Nottingham, on Friday.
Half-centuries from Ravindra Jadeja and KL Rahul helped India take a sizeable first-innings lead of 95 runs before rain brought an early end to play on Day 3 of the first Test against England, in Nottingham, on Friday.
England were 25 for no loss in their second innings when play ended early on the third day because of rain. England trailed by 70 runs with Rory Burns (11) and Dom Sibley (9) at the crease.
India were bowled out for 278 in their first innings, as K L Rahul top-scored for the visitors with a well-made 84, while all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja struck an enterprising 56 off 86 balls.
Resuming Day 3 on 125/4, India added 153 valuable runs to their first innings score in testing conditions.
For England, medium pacer Ollie Robinson emerged as the most successful bowler as he bagged an impressive 5/85, leading the team out in the presence of legends such as James Anderson, who finished with figures of 4/54 from 23 overs and in the process become the third highest wicket-taker in the format.
Earlier, Rahul's patient 84 and Jadeja's fluent 56 helped India post 278 in reply to England's first innings total of 183.
India's usually-fragile tail also made useful contribution with the bat in the low-scoring contest at Trent Bridge.
For England, Ollie Robinson claimed a career-best 5/85, while James Anderson grabbed four wickets, overtaking Indian Anil Kumble to become the third-highest wicket-taker in Test cricket.
Once India resumed on 125/4, only 11 balls could be bowled before rain forced the players off the field.
When they returned, Rishabh Pant threw caution to the wind, playing some outrageous shots in his 25 off 20 balls before Robinson cut short his stay.
Dropped on 52 by Sibley on Thursday, Rahul got another reprieve on 78 when Joe Root spilled a head-high catch with Anderson being the luckless bowler again.
Anderson eventually had his man but Rahul, whose patient knock included 12 boundaries, had put India in the lead by then.
Jadeja stayed back to stretch that lead, hitting eight boundaries and a six in his half-century, which he celebrated with trademark bat-twirling.
Mohammed Shami contributed 13 and Jasprit Bumrah made a career-best 28 to frustrate England.
The first match of the five-Test also marks the beginning of a new World Test Championship cycle.
