What a test match.Even though it was slow the day was not that boring.MS Dhoni made a superb 99 before he was run out after he misjudged a run and Kohli made a superb century before there was a slight collapse after which India ended the day at 297/8 after they lost four wickets quickly.Considering the score they have made it was a superb comeback and trail England by 33 runs.It would be nice if they can get a lead tomorrow or level the score.Even if they cant it looks like they can comeback quite easily in this match.Below are the highlights and the scorecard of day 3.

Highlights Of The Day:

England:

James Anderson - 4 Wickets

Graeme Swann - 3 Wickets

India:

Virat Kohli - 103(295)
