Pant cracked a 118-ball 101 studded with 13 hits to the fence and two sixes to anchor India's innings after a 144-ball 49 by opener Rohit Sharma at the top.

Washington Sundar also scored a crucial 60 and was at the crease alongwith Axar Patel (11) at the draw of stumps here.

India now lead by 89 runs with three wickets in hand.

For England, veteran pacer James Anderson (3/40) was the best bowler as he scalped three wickets, while Ben Stokes (2/73) and Jack Leach (2/66) also accounted for two wickets apiece.

India are leading the series 2-1 and need just a draw to qualify for the World Test Championship final against New Zealand to be held in June.


On Day 1, England was bundled out for 205 in 75.5 overs as spinners Axar Patel (26-7-68-4), Ravichandran Ashwin (19.5-4-47-3) and Washington Sundar (7-1-14-1) toyed with the already messed up minds, clueless on how to deal with the conditions.
