    Joe Root on Jofra Archer: "It's so nice to see. Everyone's so excited to see him back playing Test cricket, back in whites, affecting games for England. The reception he gets shows how much love there is for him. I also think the X factor he brings to the attack, he's someone who offers something different, different angles, different way he approaches the crease, he can make things happen. He gives us a very different dynamic to the bowling attack I think he compliments the guys really nicely and he's got a big role to play for the rest of the Test match."

    On the slow over rate: It was slow, wasn't it? Its disappointing in many ways. When it's hot like this and there's so many stoppages, I haven't got the answers to be honest. I'm not concerned about it. It's not like it's happened every day throughout this series."

    More from Joe Root, speaking to Test Match Special: "I did wake up at about half one in the morning and went through every dismissal I could possibly get out to, went through every shot I could make to get off the mark. Then, I thought it's not about me, it's about us getting a decent score, stop being so selfish and get over yourself. Once I did that I went back to sleep, so much better."

    On the shot to make his century: "That lean back on a drive and edge it over point, absolutely perfect."

    India bowler Jasprit Bumrah on Test Match Special: "It's quite evenly balanced but slightly ahead in our favour. It's tough to bowl with the heat and the wicket getting dried up. The odd ball does do something but if we have a good partnership and put runs on the board, that will help us to go a long way in the game.

    "With the weather being warm, the wicket starting slow, you have to put in a lot of work and create pressure to take wickets but that's how Test cricket works."

    On his five-wicket haul: "It's really special. We don't come here [to Lord's] very often, maybe every four years. You never know how many matches you'll get to play here. As a child, you see a lot of Test cricket played here. Being on the honours board feels good. I was excited to play at Lord's."

    On how his body is holding up: "You have to look after your body. I was training at Edgbaston, not just sitting. I was training very hard because I knew I had to prepare. The body is good, it was a good break. I got some time to refresh. I didn't know the weather would be this hot, so it worked out well. I'm a lot fresher. It feels good."

    Joe Root, speaking to Test Match Special about his catch and breaking the Test record for amount of catches taken by a non-keeper: "I'll be watching it back, for sure. It was a nice one. Should've been a long time ago, there's been a few drops in there but it was an important one and it's nice to cling onto it and contribute in the field today.

    "That's the whole point, you want to contribute, add to the team and find ways of affecting the game if you're out there in the field. I might bowl the odd over here and there but there's only a limited amount of ways to get yourself in the game. That's one thing I'll always try to do, how can I make an impact? How can I help the lads? Standing at first slip is one of them.

    "Everywhere's so different at different grounds, different views, sightings you get. It's much nicer here, especially at that end, so you've just got to trust your instincts, reactions, trust all the work you put in practice and sometimes when you are stood a bit closer like on a wicket like this, you haven't got time to think about it you've just got to go, and that was the case today."

    After being dismissed for 387, it was the Jofra Archer show from as soon as he took the second over of India's innings.

    He dismissed India opener Yashasvi Jaiswal with third ball, and absolutely roared into bowl, with a large number of his deliveries in the 90s.

    More from Joe Root speaking to Sky Sports, on what England have to do on day three: "Get six or seven quick wickets. It would be nice [to lead]. That ball is so out of shape and so soft, so it would be nice to see if it doesn't go through the ring and we get something hard enough to do something off the surface. It could happen quite quickly. It's going to be difficult for them to score unless they take risks. You can build pressure and squeeze game that way. With the slope, there's always something to work with."

    On the ball going soft and out of shape: "I don't know enough about it to understand the science behind it. To stop teams going up to umpires every two overs, why don't you make the rings the right size instead of making them bigger and say you're allowed three checks every 80 overs?"

    Joe Root speaking to Sky Sports said: "I think it's going to have that nature [of an old school game] because of the surface. It's slow and turgid and quite difficult to score freely. There's no pace in the wicket, the ball is getting soft quickly. It's being pragmatic to understand the challenges and the different ways you have to score."

    On his century: "I don't think I've been 99 not out overnight before. I woke up in the night and couldn't get back to sleep. I went through every shot I could've played to start the day and every possible dismissal. Then I realised, stop making it about you. There's so many more important things to consider throughout the day. The frustrating thing is I managed to get to 100 but that's when you should make it count. Something you pride yourself on is turning it into a big score, turning the screw, so I'm a bit disappointed. The way Jamie and Carsey played incredibly to get to the score they got to."

    On Jofra Archer: "It's great. The noise, the pure joy everyone has seeing him back in whites, everyone's genuine excitement to see him playing Test cricket again. It created a great atmosphere. Bowling 94mph, getting a wicket first over, that's the kind of player he is. He's x-factor. He's going to add to what we've already got. It's a bit like India turning to Bumrah. He can create something different for you. It's great to see him being so impactful and keeping his pace up."

    That first over was exceptional from Jofra Archer and to get the key wicket of Jaiswal with an absolute peach.

    I'll be interested to see how he wakes up because he bowled 10 overs and he'll have to bowl a bit tomorrow. I don't think this pitch is offering anything for the seamers.

    For someone like Archer, I'd like to see him on a bouncy one whether that's at the Oval or Old Trafford.

    Jasprit Bumrah got himself onto the Lord's honours board with figures of 5-74, removing Ollie Pope with the first ball after tea yesterday then taking a flurry of wickets this morning.

    He then bowled Jofra Archer to complete his five-fer.

    Ex-England captain on Test Match Special

    It's a good day for England after that initial burst from Jasprit Bumrah. That partnership between Brydon Carse and Jamie Smith was really valuable. I think England are just above par on a sluggish pitch.

    The pitch was better today with a bit more pace in it. England would've loved to have them four down but it's right in the balance. England have got their noses ahead but if India are still batting at the end of the day tomorrow then they'll have their noses ahead.

    What I'm enjoying is that it is a different game of cricket to what we're used to with this England side and I'm intrigued to see how it goes tomorrow.

    Mind you, if we've been short-changed on the overs then we've still had some wonderful cricket.

    Jofra Archer's return to England's Test bowling attack, his wicket-taking third ball, his rapid pace.

    And, of course, Joe Root bringing up his 37th Test century from the first ball of the day.

  13. Close of play - Ind 145-3published at 43 overs

    Rahul 53, Pant 19

    Final over the day, with Lord's looking rather empty now.

    Rishabh Pant takes a single behind square off Shoaib Bashir, the only run from the last six balls.

    We finish having played 72.3 overs today - officially 15 short.

  14. Ind 144-3published at 42 overs

    Brydon Carse over-steps with successive deliveries, conceding the only runs of the over.

    The Durham seamer seems unhappy, but the replay is pretty clear.

  15. Ind 142-3published at 41 overs

    Rishabh Pant cuts Shoaib Bashir behind square to pick up two, the only runs from the over as we head towards the close of play.

  16. Ind 140-3published at 40 overs

    Carse's over goes for four runs, with KL Rahul finishing the over with a two, driving out to Ben Stokes at mid-off.

    Just over ten minutes to go today.

    KL Rahul batting with control on a tricky wicket. He has a false shot percentage of 13.1% in this innings, the lowest of the four players to reach a 50 in this game so far.

    It''s an interesting game, this, but it has been very stop/start and it's frustrating for spectators.

  20. Ind 136-3published at 39 overs

    Rishabh Pant falls over into a favourite from the Headingley Test, what I think we were calling the roly-poly scoop.

    It brings him two over his shoulder, and we'll now have another break as Pant's finger - presumably the injured one - is taped up.
