With another 50-plus score, Root will have the second-most scores in excess of 50 in Test cricket (104), after Sachin Tendulkar (119).
65.6: Ravindra Jadeja to Ollie Pope, Outside off, full and fast, left alone.
65.5: Ravindra Jadeja to Ollie Pope, Another close call! Full, outside off, Pope lunges to defend but leaves a big gap between bat and pad. The ball comes in, takes the inside edge and hits the pads, rolling beside the pitch. Nearly sneaked through that gap.
65.4: Ravindra Jadeja to Ollie Pope, Landed outside off, driven straight to cover.
65.3: Ravindra Jadeja to Ollie Pope, There’s the arm ball. Short of full, arrowing in from outside off, Pope picks it from the pitch and tries to force it through the off side from the crease, almost missing the ball. Manages to push it towards point.
65.2: Ravindra Jadeja to Joe Root, Fired in outside off, Joe Root drives it through the covers for a run.
65.1: Ravindra Jadeja to Ollie Pope, Another quick single. Full, on off, Ollie Pope wrists it towards mid on and takes the fielder on, completing the single quickly.
64.6: Anshul Kamboj to Joe Root, Hits the length hard and outside off, takes off a bit, Joe Root offers no shot at it.
64.5: Anshul Kamboj to Joe Root, Pitched up and around off, Joe Root strides out and drives it firmly but fails to beat short covers.
64.4: Anshul Kamboj to Joe Root, On a length and on middle, Joe Root gets behind the line of it and blocks it out.
64.3: Anshul Kamboj to Joe Root, Back of a length and just outside off, tempting the batter to go after it, Joe Root leaves it alone.
64.2: Anshul Kamboj to Joe Root, Short of a length and on off, jags back in a bit, Joe Root stays back to pats it away but gets an inside edge onto his pads as the ball goes nowhere.
64.1: Anshul Kamboj to Ollie Pope, Fuller in length and on middle, Ollie Pope drives it off the toe end of the bat towards mid off and sets off for the run. The fielder quickly collects and has a shy at but is well wide of the stumps. Pope puts in a dive to make sure he makes his ground any which ways.
63.6: Ravindra Jadeja to Ollie Pope, Darts one full and on off, Ollie Pope jams it out towards mid off for one. England trail by 69 runs now.

63.2: Ravindra Jadeja to Ollie Pope, FIFTY FOR POPE! His 16th Test half-century and second against India! This has been a fantastic knock from him, but he will look to make it even bigger here. Floated, full and on off, Ollie Pope drillls it to mid off for a quick run.
63.1: Ravindra Jadeja to Joe Root, Flatter, short and on leg, Joe Root moves back and flicks it through square leg for a single.
83 runs. That’s what Root needs to overtake Ricky Ponting’s career tally of 13,378 Test runs and move to second place on the all-time chart, behind only Sachin Tendulkar’s 15,921.
