Watch: Virat Kohli and Jonny Bairstow had a heated argument on Day 3 of fifth Test
The third day of the fifth and final test between India and England is underway. The English started Day 3 at 84/5, trailing by 332 runs. However, both English batters, who looked under pressure at the end of the second day, came out in a positive approach to score runs.

Jonny Bairstow, who has added another half-century to his tally, looked like in brilliant touch and carried on his rich Test form. However, it didn't start like that in the morning session of day three.

Bairstow and Stokes both had a few misses. Shami and Bumrah bowled some tight lines and there were a few balls that beat the bat. However, there was a moment at the start when the former Indian skipper and Jonny Bairstow had a heated argument on the field. Even the on-field umpires had to get involved to stop both players.

Although, it didn't appear to be a normal conversation because Virat appeared furious towards Bairstow and both players appeared to be pointing fingers at each other. It was settled later on when both umpires came in between.

​​​​Speaking of the match, as per the latest score, England are looking good as Bairstow is playing in an aggressive manner, but the hosts have lost the wicket of their skipper. After two dropped catches, Stokes got out a third time to a brilliant catch by the Indian skipper, Jasprit Bumrah, at mid-on.

It was Shardul Thakur who got the wicket, and Stokes made 25 runs. The last batting pair of Bairstow and Sam Billings is at the crease. The visitors need one more wicket to get into the tail. So they would look to break the current partnership and dismiss England as early as possible.
