22.1: Akash Deep to Harry Brook, 1 run.
21.6: Mohammed Siraj to Jamie Smith, Tailing in on middle on a fuller length, Jamie Smith flicks it off the inner half of the bat to the mid-wicket region. An excellent over from Siraj this as he gets two big wickets.
21.5: Mohammed Siraj to Jamie Smith, FOUR! A boundary on the Hat Trick ball! Siraj serves it fuller and just around off, Jamie Smith prods forward and cracks the drive down the ground for a boundary.
Jamie Smith walks out to face the hat-trick ball. Two slips, a gully and a man at short mid-wicket for Smith.
21.4: Mohammed Siraj to Ben Stokes, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Mohammed Siraj does it again as he removes the English skipper on his very first ball. A picture-perfect start for the Indians as half of England’s side is back in the dressing room on 84. A well-directed bumper from Siraj this, around the left shoulder and kicking off the deck. Ben Stokes is taken aback by that excessive lift off the deck and hangs his bat in an evasive action, but doesn’t manage to drop his wrists down in time. Hence, a faint edge is found and the ball carries back to the keeper. Rishabh Pant takes a regulation catch and Ben Stokes departs for a golden duck.
The English skipper, Ben Stokes makes his way out to the centre.
21.3: Mohammed Siraj to Joe Root, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Siraj provides a huge breakthrough, early in the day for India. And it’s the big fish Joe Root. Siraj runs full tilt and slides the ball on the leg stump line. It curves further down leg on a length with some lateral movement. Joe Root is strangled down the leg side as he looks to flick. Only manages to get an inside edge and Rishabh Pant does the rest behind the wickets. Dives to his left and completes a low catch. A big appeal for caught behind and the finger goes up! The Indians celebrate in unison and Root’s expressions indicate that he knows he has nicked it and hence, does not opt for a review. He is devastated as he walks back to the dugout.
21.2: Mohammed Siraj to Harry Brook, Tails in on the leg stump, Harry Brook clips the full ball to deep backward square leg for a single. There’s some visible movement. 
Mohammed Siraj misses his run up twice and a few boos ring out from the crowd.
21.1: Mohammed Siraj to Harry Brook, Siraj finally gets his run up sorted and goes full and on off, Harry Brook pushes it to short mid on.
Mohammed Siraj will operate from the other end. 7-2-21-1 so far for Siraj. Two slips and a gully for Harry Brook. There’s also a man at deep square leg for possibly the short ball.
20.6: Akash Deep to Joe Root, Attacks the off pole, full in length, Joe Root meets the ball under his eyes and knocks it to the leg side with soft hands. England trail by 504 runs.
20.5: Akash Deep to Joe Root, FOUR! First runs off the bat on Day 3! A glorious stroke from Root. Akash gets a bit of a tail into the batter, full and on middle and leg, Joe Root tilts forward, finds the middle of the bat, and flicks it through the mid-wicket region for a boundary.
20.4: Akash Deep to Joe Root, Identical length, but fairly outside off, Root does not offer any shot.
20.3: Akash Deep to Joe Root, Back of a length, at off, punched to the off side.
20.2: Akash Deep to Joe Root, Ahh, this shapes away from the batter. Length, cutting away from off, Joe Root plays inside the line of the ball and it whispers past his outside edge.
20.2: Akash Deep to Joe Root, Hits the deck hard, outside off, Root gets behind it, lets the ball come and blocks it off the back foot. Dear me! Another No Ball for overstepping. Akash will have to get his footing sorted. He did struggle with the landing area on Day 2.
20.1: Akash Deep to Joe Root, Angles into the body, does Akash, on a good length, Joe Root opens up on the back foot and punches it straight back.
20.1: Akash Deep to Joe Root, Oh, dear! No Ball to begin the day as Akash has overstepped. On a length, just outside off, straighter one, Joe Root presses in to defend it under the bat.
The sun is shining in all its glory and we are all set to get going on Day 3. The first two days at Edgbaston have seen an excellent turnout and we expect no less over the weekend. Shubman Gill gathers his men in a huddle for the last few words. They are followed by Joe Root and Harry Brook. Akash Deep will kickstart proceedings with the ball for India. Root to face. Two slips and a gully in place. Here we go!
