Buttler’s century fails to stop England slide

-

India need just one more wicket to win the third Test this morning, despite a rearguard action from England’s middle order. Jos Buttler scored his first Test century as he and Ben Stokes defied the Indian bowlers for more than 50 overs after England collapsed to 62-4, but four wickets fell in four overs to leave the hosts on the brink. An unlikely 50-run partnershi­p for the ninth wicket took play into the final day, but India will be back in the series, trailling England 2-1 with two Tests left. Sport, pages 1-5
