London: India were trailing by 451 as they reached 35 for one in the second innings at stumps on the third day of the third Test against England at Edgbaston.
Earlier, Alastair Cook demolished the Indian attack as England piled up a lead of 486 runs. After going wicket-less in the first session, Indian bowlers managed to claim three victims post lunch, but hosts remained unperturbed as Cook scored a brilliant 294 to guide his side to 710/7.
Suresh Raina gave the first breakthrough to India by dismissing Eoi Morgan after the left-handed scored his second Test ton and shared 222-run stand for the fourth wicket with Cook.
Amit Mishra capitalised on the breakthrough and sent back Ravi Bopara (7) and Matt Prior (5) in quick succession to bring some relief to the Indian camp. The leg-spinner trapped Ravi Bopara in front and got Matt prior caught by Tendulkar.
Earlier, Cook got to a double century, for the second time in his career. He reached his double ton in 379 balls with the help of 27 fours. Read: Boycott slams Team India.
