47.1
Kuldeep Yadav to Root, leg byes, 2 runs, dropped! Tough chance but Jurel does get a glove to it. Spinning down leg and Root attempts to glance, gets a slight deflection and Jurel does not hang on. The ball hits his left glove and rolls away to fine leg. But umpire Rod Tucker has signalled leg byes

dropped on 48

India wasted reviews yuh see. And yes the replacements are not bad. Let’s see how they handle the new ball.

class Test knock, after dropped on 48

Akash Deep to Root, FOUR, there's the hundred. Root takes off his helmet and kisses the badge on it. Stokes gives the thumbs up from the pavilion. He was under pressure coming into this game because of various reasons - low scores in the series and the way he has been dismissed.

And people wonder why the new boy Jaiswal can play so freely at the top of the order.

When you have a bowling attack like India has at the moment you can have all the confidence in the world to put the sword to the opposition without fear of failure.

On a day when Root got to one of his slowest Test hundreds of all time, the one thing that stood out apart from his patience was the shot selection. Multiple times in the series he had thrown away starts, including the two headline grabbing strokes - a reverse ramp against Jasprit Bumrah and a reverse lap against Ravichandran Ashwin - both of which were dismissals that were pivotal to the team's fortunes.

A guy of Root's class and caliber doesn't need to play that reckless "Bazball" style of cricket.

They have enough batters in the top order which will play like that. He really did a disservice to his team on this tour in the previous matches when he got out so stupidly playing a style of game he doesn't need to play.

Robinson to Jaiswal, no run, narrow escape for Jaiswal. England cannot believe it. Stokes has his hands on his head. They feel it went straight into the gloves and even celebrated after looking at the first replay. But Joel Wilson had a couple of replays and decided that the ball bounced before going in.



IND 74/1 (20.5)

out Caught by Ollie Pope!! Bat-pad and RJ becomes Bashir's third victim - he's running through India's middle-order now, was the top-spinner, hint of extra bounce and it caught RJ's inside edge as he lunged forward

IND 131/4 (38]
