First bird looks like a female cyornis flycatcher, second is either Grey chinned or long tailed minivet, the latter I can't reconcile with anything other than a juvenile striated grassbird, as it looks to heavy in the bill for any of the other cisticolas.
Hopefully others will chip in!

2 looks like Common rosefinch, 3 Greater Coucal
Couldn't no.1 be Taiga Flycatcher? There's no orange on the breast, and it's a very open perch.
Agree that no. 2 is either Grey-chinned or Long-tailed Minivet - I wouldn't like to say which, as both species have yellow underwing-coverts and underwing-bar.Maybe Grey-chinned, as the head looks wholly grey?
No. 3 looks like a Cisticola to me, although it does look rather robust. For one thing, the undertail pattern looks typical of a Cisticola. I'm not sure what juv. Striated Grassbird looks like, as I can't find any images online, but surely it would have a longer tail and streaked underparts.
