England vs India, 3rd Test - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Bashir to Pant, out Pant Run Out!! Ben Stokes has done it for England. How many times has he done that? But this is Rahul's fault. He was eager to get on strike and Pant was late to set off. Flighted delivery around off, Pant defends to the off-side and Rahul calls him through, Pant is late to respond and is caught short by Stokes' brilliance. The England captain swoops down from cover, picks up the ball and turns to hit the stumps at the bowler's end - did all this in one motion.
