India wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant admitted that the batting order could have applied better on a pitch that was soft and helped the seam bowlers early on. India were skittled out for 78 on the first day of the third Test on Wednesday as England moved to 120 without loss at stumps on Day One.

"I think it is part and parcel of the game. As a batting unit, you need to give your 100 per cent each and every day. But sometimes it doesn`t go well," said Pant to media in a virtual interaction on Wednesday.
