IND vs ENG: Rohit fifty drives India after Axar's 6 for 38

The Hindu  

Axar Patel’s family used to put up a giant screen at his hometown Nadiad, around an hour’s drive from Ahmedabad, whenever he featured in a televised match. Playing a Test at the home of Gujarat cricket for the first time, the left-arm spinner derailed England batting to hog the limelight on Wednesday, the first day of the third Test. Axar’s six-wicket haul - his second fifer in as many Test appearances - ensured England squandered the advantage of winning the toss on a turning track for the pink-ball Test. Axar didn’t have to wait too long though as Jonny Bairstow misread the line off a straight one, which was the left-arm spinner’s first ball of the day. Bowling within a range of early 70s to mid-90s kph, Axar bamboozled the England batsmen, who seemed to have far from recovered from last week’s debacle at Chepauk.
