Team India fast bowler Umesh Yadav struck twice with the new ball moments after lunch to put them ahead against Windies on day three of the third Test at Hyderabad.

Meanwhile, the visitors put themselves ahead reducing India to a mere 367 runs with Jason Holder returning with five wickets. Virat Kohli & Co took a lead of 56 runs as Ravichandran Ashwin stretched the lead partnering Shardul Thakur.

Umesh Yadav started his spell and was on a hat-trick. He tried the yorker first up but Kriagg Brathwaite kept that out. The next one was a gift, on the pads, and he has clipped it to the keeper. India gets an early wicket as the pressure mounts on Windies.Furthermore, Keiron Powell becomes Ravichandran Ashwin’s prey once again. It was a low delivery from Ashwin who edges it to a low catch to Ajinkya Rahane. Although Shai Hope and Shimron Hetmyer started to steady the ship, Kuldeep Yadav picks his first wicket to dismiss Hetmyer.
