Brydon Carse to Pant, FOUR, just over 10 minutes for stumps but Pant doesn't care a jot. He comes down the track and takes the length delivery from the stumps

Woakes to Pant, SIX, what a man Pant is! Last over of the day, there's a deep square-leg in place, he doesn't think about all that. He wants to hit this and smokes it for six. He comes down the track and takes the length delivery on the stumps, swings it and the ball flies over deep square-leg's head as he backtracked, Woakes can't quite believe it as does Stokes, both can only smile

Is journeyman Woakes the best the Poms have got to replace Broad and Anderson? Why is this mediocre seamer taking the new ball?

The last six Tests at Headingley, dating back to 2017, were all won by the sides batting second - two by an innings margin and four by chasing down targets in excess of 250.


How to lie with statistics....

Most of the previous six Tests at Headlingley were played in overcast and drizzly conditions. This time, it's hot and sunny in Yorkshire - which is very rare!

The logical decision would've been to win the toss, and bat, in these conditions.

I bet you would've preferred to see Archer in his place.

Oops, sorry. Archer didn't make the squad.

Brydon Carse to Pant, FOUR, he's smacked that! Dug in short on middle-leg, Pant steps out and heaves it away towards deep square leg, Brydon Carse saw him coming and dropped it short but Pant went through with the shot anyway, fast hands

Bashir to Pant, FOUR, Bashir is greeted by a Pant special! Flat and on a length on off-stump, Pant shuffles across and tumbles as he paddles it over the man at leg-side, the tumbling paddle that only he plays

Bashir to Pant, SIX, that's one way to get into the 90s! Fraction short on middle-leg, Pant goes deep in his crease before mowing it over deep mid-wicket, that went 20 rows back! He's put the spinner under pressure straightaway

Stokes to Pant, 1 run, Stokes tries the dipping slower ball yorker but this one wasn't as high as yesterday so it didn't dip enough. Pant was ready to put bat on ball and place it through point. 99 now

Bashir to Pant, SIX, a one-handed six to get his 7th Test hundred. He woke up against RCB late in the IPL and he's carried on here as well. Back-to-back Test hundreds in England. This is his format. Generally takes the pitch and opposition out of the equation. He has been India's crisis man for a while now

Bashir to Pant, SIX, a teaser for the fielder but it's gone over! Tossed up full on middle, Pant stepped out and went downtown, didn't quite get hold of it and it went high off the toe end, Carse started spriting right back and it just went over his head and his outstretched arms before landing on the advertising triangle. That brings up the 200-run stand between these two
