Day three saw England set a target of 399, but it appeared they would end up chasing much more in the afternoon session. India had a 370-run lead at teatime (227 for 6), but their long tail was not wagging again as they could only muster 28 runs in 14.3 overs in the last session.

We have prepared our stall; tomorrow won't be any different; we'll play in the same manner as we have for the previous two years. The 41-year-old, who bowled the best two innings for England, said, "Whether we win or lose, it's not relevant because we are extremely competitive and want to win every game we play, but we want to play in a certain way." With their ultra-aggressive style, Anderson claimed England has revolutionized Test cricket and cast doubt on the minds of their opponents.Over the past two years, especially in the last twelve months, there have been times when the way teams have responded leads us to believe that we're doing something right. Returning to the Ashes, the fact that the first ball of the Ashes has a point on the boundary tells us that we are doing something correctly. "I'm not sure if intimidating is the appropriate word, but it's creating a different mental image in the minds of the opposition and the captain. Today, it felt very much like that; they didn't seem to know what a good score against us would be. The wicket is still in good shape; the occasional player is keeping low, but that's to be expected. Additionally, Shubman performed exceptionally well today, which indicates that there are still points to be earned.

Three weeks following a mid-flight panel blowout and emergency landing that prompted extensive inspections of the aircraft, Alaska Airlines progressively resumed flights with its Boeing 737 MAX 9 fleet on Friday, the company said.

The first flight of one of United Airlines' aircraft is scheduled for Sunday; however, the airline did not rule out an earlier return to service. United Airlines possesses the largest fleet of Boeing models affected by the grounding order. This information was released on Thursday.
