England's Ben Duckett showcased a masterful performance, smashing an impressive 133 runs to steer England to a commanding position at 207/2 at stumps on Day 2 of the third Test against India. Despite trailing by 238 runs, England's aggressive scoring rate has put India on the defensive. Mohammed Siraj and Ravichandran Ashwin claimed a wicket each for the hosts. Earlier in the day, India, led by Ashwin and debutant Dhruv Jurel, responded resiliently, posting 445 runs in their first innings. Despite losing overnight batsmen Ravindra Jadeja and Kuldeep Yadav early, Ashwin and Jurel's partnership added vital runs. India also incurred a five-run penalty for running on the pitch. England will commence Day 3 from 5 for 0.
