England 140-5

Root on 34 rebuilding

[slogen51]

Root 50

Playing a traditional Joe Root innings rotating the strike

[slogen51]

England resuming on 198-5 after tea

Much easier as the ball ages

Looking good for England on this wicket but until India bat we won't know for sure

[slogen51]

Foakes falls just short of a 50 to end a good partnership with Root

England 240-6

Root on 82

[James Cutting]

302-7 close of play. Root 106* Robinson 31*

It's interesting what you can do when you play steady cricket and not trying slap it about the pitch like a mad game of T20 Impressive innings from Root once again.

Good to see Root play a proper test match innings.

Was a surprise waking up to the score yesterday. Day 2 just started and the Indias have taken the new ball

[Gary]

Robinson out for 58, caught behind by the lightest of touches off his glove. 347 for 8

Robinson just show up most of the top and middle order

[Gary]

Bashir gone for a duck, trying to put the ball in orbit. 349
For 9. Now for the Jimmy show

[Gary]

England All out for 353. Another LBW, Anderson for 0

Rohit gone early. Caught behind off Anderson. 4 for 1

[slogen51]

Gill out for 38

India 86-2

Need to get Jaiswal out

[slogen51]

Wicket

India 112-3

Jaiswal still there 52 not out

Next in the dangerous Jadeja

[slogen51]

Wicket

Jadeja hits two sixes and is caught for 12

India still 220+ behind on 130-4

[slogen51]

At tea India 131-4

If England bat well in their second innings then game on

[slogen51]

My digital radio fell in the toilet!

India are going the same way at 181-7

[plmc135]

My digital radio fell in the toilet!

India are going the same way at 181-7

Were you flushed with success in retrieving it

[slogen51]

I can only get talk sport 2 on the narrow window sill in the bathroom and it toppled into the bog !

[Gary]

Day 3 just started, weather is overcast. Looks more like good old English cricket weather.

[Gary]

No earlier breakthrough. Englands inability to bowl the tale out cheaply could come back to bite them. India just passed 250 for 7

Sun is out too now
