Live: India 241/9 at lunch on Day 3

Harbhajan Singh's wicket triggered India's collapse as soon after his dismissal Zaheer Khan and skipper MS Dhoni walked back to the pavilion to reduce India to 241 for nine wickets on Day 3 of the Chennai Test. The last Indian pair of Amit Mishra and Ishant Sharma will resume batting post-lunch with their respective scores of 12 and 8 runs.After resuming the third day with their overnight score of 155/6, Dhoni and Harbhajan added 75 runs for the seventh wicket before the latter was dismissed by Monty Panesar for 40 runs. He chipped a tossed up delivery from Panesar straight to Ian Bell at short leg.While Bhajji missed out on a fifty, Dhoni played a captain's knock and slammed 14th Test fifty, his fourth against England, to take India's score past 200 runs. He perished as Panesar's second victim of the day when he tried to come down the track to send the ball out but ended up being caught by Kevin Pietersen at long off.
