England vs India: Men's Cricket Test Match Day 3 Live Updates

52nd over: England 240-2 (Pope 25, Root 21) Siraj pins Root on the pad and it looks a close call! The ball flies away for four byes and India mull going for a review. Siraj is keen, of course he is. Root did wander across his stumps. Gill makes the T-sign and they go upstairs. NOT OUT! The ball was sliding down and India lose their second review.

51st over: England 240-2 (Pope 25, Root 21) Bumrah gets one to spit sharply at Pope from the Statham End. Pope has a flirt at it and it whistles past the edge. There’s plenty in this pitch. Maiden.

50th over: England 240-2 (Pope 25, Root 21) Pope flashes Siraj away wide of the cordon for four and Root nearly forces the bowler to combust with his own drive that flies to the fence backward of point! A perky if a little risky start for England.

49th over: England 231-2 (Pope 20, Root 17) Root picks a full ball off his toes for four. A majestic drive is unfurled later in the over but pings straight to the fielder.

48th over: England 227-2 (Pope 20, Root 13) Mohammed Siraj opens up from the other end and he bustles in to Pope. Five dots are stitched together before the last ball of the over scuds through at no more than shin height and nearly scuttles Pope!

47th over: England 227-2 (Pope 20, Root 13) Shardul Thakur has the ball with two slips in place. Root flicks for two off his pads to start England off.

Shubman Gill is currently on the outfield practicing his slip catching. India need to make inroads this morning after their least incisive day with the ball yesterday.
