    Today could be a special day in the history of English cricket.

    12,473 is the number for Joe Root to take his tally of Test runs beyond that of Alastair Cook. That would make Root England's all-time leading run scorer in the format.

    He needs 39 more - a total of 71 in this innings - to break the record.

    Word from the England camp is that Ben Duckett is good to go.

    This slow-burning first Test has largely gone the way of the hosts so far. Day three is England's chance to return a few blows.

    They resume on 96-1 in reply to 556. The mathematicians among you will know that's 460 runs behind.

    They still need another 261 to avoid the follow-on. Zak Crawley will resume on 64 and Joe Root 32.
