Nottingham, Sunday: England collapsed to 161 in reply to India’s first-innings 329, a deficit of 168 runs, at tea on the second day of the third Test at Trent Bridge on Sunday.

Hardik Pandya took a Test-best five for 28, his maiden five-wicket haul at this level, while debutant wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant held five catches as England lost all 10 of their wickets in a session of play.

At 129 for nine, England were still two runs shy of avoiding the follow-on, but Jos Buttler’s fortunate leading edge off Mohammed Shami just over the head of Ajinkya Rahane at cover meant India would have to bat again.

Buttler top-scored with 39 before he was last man out, his dismissal leading to tea. England lead this five-match series 2-0.
