Bairstow helps Eng<br />
rally after top order fail<br />
• Reuters, Mohali<br />
Jonny Bairstow’s composed 89<br />
helped England survive some poor<br />
top order shot-making and reach<br />
268 for eight at the close on the first<br />
day of the third Test against India<br />
yesterday.<br />
Alastair Cook won an important<br />
toss but the tourists conceded<br />
much of the advantage and would<br />
have been in deeper trouble but<br />
for India’s poor catching and Bairstow’s<br />
dogged resistance.<br />
The keeper-batsman featured<br />
in 50-plus partnerships with Ben<br />
Stokes and the recalled Jos Buttler<br />
to revive England, who are 1-0<br />
down in the five-match series.<br />
Adil Rashid was batting on four<br />
at stumps with Gareth Batty, replacing<br />
the injured Zafar Ansari,<br />
yet to open his account.<br />
Wary of batting fourth on a spinning<br />
track, Cook asked the hosts to<br />
bowl but his top order were unable<br />
to vindicate the decision at Punjab<br />
Cricket Association Stadium.<br />
Paceman Umesh Yadav drew<br />
first blood when he got Haseeb<br />
Hameed caught for nine at gully<br />
with a delivery that kicked up off a<br />
length.<br />
Home captain Virat Kohli introduced<br />
spin in the 13th over and<br />
Jayant Yadav responded by dismissing<br />
Joe Root for 15 in his second<br />
over.<br />
Cook, meanwhile, led a charmed<br />
life with Ravindra Jadeja failing to<br />
pouch an edge and Ravichandran<br />
Ashwin spilling a sitter. Mohammed<br />
Shami was the luckless bowler<br />
on both occasions.<br />
Ashwin redeemed himself with<br />
his very first delivery, which Cook<br />
edged to wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel.<br />
Cook made <strong>27</strong> but his dismissal<br />
came from a rash shot chasing a<br />
wide ball.•<br />
