Duckett didn't hold back either and replied, 'Why should I listen to you?'
Shubman Gill
also joined in, making it clear that India were going to keep the pressure on through both their bowling and their words.
Duckett had earlier played several reverse sweeps in the first innings, with some success before eventually getting out to Akash Deep while trying the same stroke.
The mind games are only adding to the intensity as England chase 374 for victory. They ended Day 3 on 50 for 1 after Mohammed Siraj removed Zak Crawley with a brilliant yorker on the final ball of the day. Duckett remains unbeaten on 34* as Day 4 gets underway.
Poll
Do you think England can chase 374 runs?
Yes, they can do it
No, it's too challenging
India's strong position was built on the back of another outstanding hundred from Jaiswal, who rode his luck to post 118, supported by fifties from Akash Deep, Jadeja and Sundar. The visitors made 396 in their second innings to leave England with a steep challenge and two full days to survive or chase.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce engagement odds surge after wedding hint and house-hunting buzz
Speculation surrounding a potential engagement between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has intensified (Getty Images) The romance between Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce has once again captured the spotlight — and this time, the chatter is backed by betting odds. According to Oddspedia, the chances of the Kansas City Chiefs star tight end proposing to the global pop icon before the end of 2025 have jumped to +100, translating to an even 50% probability. That's a significant leap from April, when the odds stood at +155, or roughly 39%. Andy Reid's cheeky wedding comment adds fuel to engagement rumors The surge comes amid a wave of recent headlines fueling speculation about a possible 'Traylor' engagement. Oddspedia spokesperson Steven Loung explained, 'The spike comes after a back-to-back wave of moments that had fans losing it.' Fescoe and Dusty on Travis Kelce Day! One of the biggest sparks came from none other than Chiefs head coach Andy Reid. In a lighthearted moment during a radio interview, Reid teased that he was already 'preparing a speech for their future wedding.' For Swifties and NFL fans alike, the comment was enough to send social media into overdrive. While Reid's remark may have been tongue-in-cheek, the timing — just months before the new NFL season — only added intrigue. The speculation didn't stop there. Just days before Reid's comments, a Cleveland outlet reported that Swift and Kelce were spotted touring 'opulent homes' in the upscale eastside suburbs of Cleveland. Given that Kelce hails from nearby Cleveland Heights, the sighting suggested a potential step toward settling down together. Engagement odds now rival Chiefs' Super Bowl chances Interestingly, the engagement odds now rival the Chiefs' own chances of winning another Super Bowl. ESPN BET lists Kansas City at +750 to win it all — making them the fourth favorite behind the Ravens, Eagles, and Bills. In other words, bookmakers see a Kelce-Swift engagement as nearly as likely as Patrick Mahomes leading the team to another championship. While the 'no' bet on an engagement still has a slight edge at -125, the narrow gap shows how quickly sentiment has shifted. Whether the proposal happens on a football field, in a quiet Cleveland neighborhood, or in true Swift-style on stage, the public's fascination with this power couple is showing no signs of slowing down.

Rondale Moore carted off with new leg injury in Vikings preseason game against Texans (Image Via Google) Minnesota Vikings' Rondale Moore seemed to have a serious leg injury in the team's Saturday preseason game against the Houston Texans. U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota, hosted the game on August 9, 2025. Rondale Moore was hurt returning a punt in the second quarter and sustained a right knee injury that kept him out for the whole 2024 season. This injury occurs less than a year after he was hauled off the field during Atlanta Falcons practice. His latest setback left teammates concerned as medical staff quickly surrounded him. Rondale Moore injured during punt return against Houston Texans With 10:30 remaining in the second quarter, Rondale Moore caught a Tommy Townsend punt on the run and gained 2 yards before being forced out of bounds by Houston Texans linebacker Jamal Hill. The 24-year-old went down hard and stayed down with his feet on the turf, clearly in pain on the left leg. Trainers from the Vikings rushed to his side as play stopped. After several minutes, Rondale Moore was helped onto a cart since he could not put any weight on the injured leg. Frustrated, he slammed the cart before toweling his head. Players from both teams gathered to show support before he was driven to the locker room for more investigation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Europe Travel Hack That Saves You Hundreds on Trips!

Ruturaj Gaikwad Gears Up For Upcoming Duleep Trophy Season With West Zone
India batter and Chennai Super Kings (CSK) skipper Ruturaj Gaikwad on Saturday started practising for the upcoming 2025-26 Duleep Trophy, where he will be seen playing for the West Zone team. In the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, an injury put an end to Gaikwad's season, as he made 122 runs in five matches, averaging 24.40, with two half-centuries. Not only was Gaikwad inconsistent, but he could win only one out of five matches during the season. Other than Gaikwad, there are some more Indian international stars like Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, and Sarfaraz Khan who are part of the West Zone squad. Shardul, who has been named the captain, has never led in the first-class format, but captained Mumbai in the Vijay Hazare Trophy in December 2024, a one-day tournament. The competition, to be held from August 28 to September 15, will mark the start of the Indian domestic season 2025-26. Last year, the tournament shifted from its usual zonal format to having four different Indian squads, A, B, C and D, selected by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). International names like Axar Patel, Shubman Gill, KL Rahul, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Arshdeep Singh, and Kuldeep Yadav were among the players who took part in the tournament. This year, the tournament will revert to its zonal format, with six teams playing: North, South, East, West, Central and North East, picked by the selectors of the Ranji teams in each zone, as per Wisden. West Zone Duleep Trophy squad: Batters: Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shreyas Iyer, Sarfaraz Khan, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Aarya Desai, Manan Hingrajia. Wicketkeepers: Harvik Desai, Saurabh Nawale. All-rounders: Shams Mulani, Tanush Kotian, Jaymeet Patel, Dharmendrasinh Jadeja. Bowlers: Shardul Thakur (c), Tushar Deshpande, Arzan Nagwaswalla.
