    'Controlled' Root brings up 104th career Test fifty - best shots

    This game is full of superb batsmen. The elegant Rahul, the irrepressible Duckett, the flamboyant Pant, the electric Brook. And yet Root still looks in a totally different class. What a player.

  4. Eng 400-4

    Root 98, Stokes 26

    Joseph is making Old Trafford wait.

  5. Eng 400-4

    Ben Stokes is not going to let the debutant bowl at him!

    England's skipper hammers Kamboj down the ground for four before handing the strike to his old mate Joe Root.

    Is this the moment for number 38?

  6. Phil Tufnell
    Former England spinner on Test Match Special

    Bumrah didn't look right there. He didn't look his effervescent self.

  7. What's going on here then?

    After one over with the new ball, Jasprit Bumrah has left the field.

    Anshul Kamboj replaces India's megastar.

  8. Eng 394-4

    Root 98, Stokes 21

    Almost onto leg stump! Joe Root's heart would have skipped because the ball has hit his thigh pad and come very close to deflecting back onto his timbers.

    Root is made to wait longer.

  9. Eng 394-4

    Joe Root is beaten outside off stumps three times in a row at the start of Siraj's over.

    The danger is still there.

  10. A touch of the gloves between current and former skipper.

    Mohammed Siraj to Joe Root, who is unbeaten on 98...

  11. How stat?!

    Rufus Bullough
    CricViz analyst

    Most drift by a spin bowler in England since 2007 (min. 300 balls bowled):

    • Prabath Jayasuriya - 2.7°
    • Washington Sundar - 2.7°
    • Nathan Hauritz - 2.3°
    • Keshav Maharaj - 2.2°
    • Moeen Ali - 2.1°
    • Graeme Swann - 2.1°

  12. Eng 394-4

    Root 98, Stokes 21

    For a second I - and most of the Old Trafford crowd around me - thought this was the moment as Joe Root clips Jasprit Bumrah off his toes.

    There's plenty of space in the leg side but mid-on gets across to keep Root to a single.

    He has batted so well today. He's going to have contemplate his century over a drink.

    'Beautiful sweep shot' from Root crashes into square leg boundary rope

    Root 'connects beautifully' with reverse sweep for four

  13. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    That's the danger of the new ball, it flies off the bat. India have to strike now.

  14. Eng 387-4

    Ben Stokes clips Jasprit Bumrah's first ball fine for four!

  15. Eng 383-4

    Lead by 25

    After some deep breaths, Ben Stokes seems to have composed himself.

    Jasprit Bumrah is going to bowl from the end that has produced the uneven bounce.

  16. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    There's only a hint of swing back into Ben Stokes, nothing outrageous only just a little bit from Mohammed Siraj to Stokes.

  17. Eng 380-4

    And the first delivery with the new ball hits Ben Stokes flush, right where he did not want to be hit!

    He's down on his knees again.

  18. Eng 380-4

    After two deliveries with the old ball to warm up, Mohammed Siraj has asked for the second new ball.

    They messed up their chance with the first one yesterday. This spell will be crucial.

    England's Duckett gets three early fours

    'What a glorious shot' - Crawley hits Siraj for four

  19. Sir Alastair Cook
    Ex-England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Joe Root has so many options against spin and he has so many risk-free shots against the spinners - every shot has an element of risk - and so often he seems to take the ones that are the least risky.

  20. Eng 378-4

    Root 93, Stokes 11

    Remember 120 is the number Joe Root needs to move up to second on the all-time Test run-scorers list.

    After that, only Sachin Tendulkar will be ahead.
