93.1: Anshul Kamboj to Ben Stokes, No ball!
What an over from Mohammed Siraj. He could have had Root 4 times in that over. Former India batting coach Sanjay Bangar makes an important observation.
92.6: Mohammed Siraj to Joe Root, No run.
92.5: Mohammed Siraj to Joe Root, Close!
92.4: Mohammed Siraj to Joe Root, On a length and on middle, Joe Root covers his stumps and pats it down the pitch.
92.3: Mohammed Siraj to Joe Root, Oh…fiery stuff! Hits the length hard and just on off, takes off viciously, and Joe Root just about gets his bat away. He has faced a lot of balls like this here, but has managed well.
92.2: Mohammed Siraj to Joe Root, Hmm..Nervous 90s! Mohammed Siraj lands this on a good length and around off, shaping away again. Joe Root gets into two minds whether to play or leave it. Ends up doing neither and the ball zips past the outside edge.
92.1: Mohammed Siraj to Joe Root, Play and a miss! Short of a length and outside off, shapes further away, Joe Root slashes at it but gets beaten by the extra bounce.
DRINKS BREAK. A better hour for India, in terms of the results. They have been bowling well from the start of the day, but the results have not gone their way, due to inconsistency in their bowling. Before Lunch, every good ball was followed by an ordinary one. However, post Lunch, the discipline has returned and hence, scoring has become a lot tougher. 62 runs have come in 18 overs post the break, for the loss of Ollie Pope and Harry Brook. The second new ball is definitely offering plenty of movement and the visitors would be looking to control it. England are looking in excellent shape here, but it takes one wicket to forge a collapse. If the deck stays good, they can bat till number 11. If the pitch stays up and down and the ball moves, the batters will also come and go from the pavillion. Root is batting on 98 but the bigger picture would not be his century – but for how long can he bat post the century, SHOULD he get there.
91.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Joe Root, Pitched up and on middle, shaping in, Joe Root drills it wide of mid on for one and moves to 98.
91.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Joe Root, Hard length, on middle, nips back in, Joe Root nudges it towards deep mid-wicket and comes back for the second run.
91.5: Jasprit Bumrah to Joe Root, Pulls his length back a bit, on middle, straightens a bit, Joe Root gets a bit squared up but pats it down towards short covers. The on-field umpire receives communication that Bumrah has overstepped. No Ball called.
91.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Joe Root, Touch fuller and in that channel outside off, holds its line, Joe Root lets it go to the keeper.
91.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Ben Stokes, Back of a length and on off, Ben Stokes rides the bounce and punches it towards covers for a run.
91.2: Jasprit Bumrah to Ben Stokes, More runs! Fuller one but straying on the pads, Ben Stokes flicks it away wide of square leg for a couple of more runs.
91.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Ben Stokes, FOUR! Easy pickings! Jasprit Bumrah hits the length hard but angling down the leg side. Ben Stokes just has to get some bat on that one. He does exactly that to tickle it away to the fine leg fence for a boundary.
Time for Bumrah, one guesses? England have now scored 51 runs in this session, in 17 overs, for the loss of Pope and Brook. Here comes Jasprit Bumrah. 18-5-54-0 so far.
90.6: Mohammed Siraj to Joe Root, Hint of movement! Goes fuller and around off, shaping away, Joe Root pushes it away nicely through covers for a brace. He moves to 95 now.
90.5: Mohammed Siraj to Ben Stokes, On a length and on leg, Ben Stokes nudges it through mid-wicket for a single.
90.4: Mohammed Siraj to Ben Stokes, Errs in line and serves this full but down the leg side, Ben Stokes fails to glance it away.
