    The clergy left the Western Terrace the moment Pope reached his ton.

  2. Eng 206-3

    Ravindra Jadeja rattles through a maiden bowling to Ollie Pope.

    We will get one more over of Jasprit Bumrah.

    Hold on everyone...

    We do have a new Pope now!

    Owen, London

    Ollie Pope, that’s a huge way to brush off all the negativity, absolutely brilliant knock all the way through.

    Daniel from Heacham

    Ollie Pope with a Jonny Bairstow esque under pressure performance today. Kudos to him.

    Bumrah just draws you in as a right-hander. That is not a great first ball for Harry Brook.

  5. Eng 206-3

    Harry Brook comes out for England, no nightwatch batter here.

    Bumrah sends his next delivery past the bat, then Brook inside edges onto his pads and fails to get a single through point.

    Probably just one over left - if so Bumrah closes the day with figures of 3-45 from 12 overs.

    Shubman Gill deserves credit. He turned to his main man and he got the main wicket. Root never really looked at his best today.

    WICKET

    Root c Nair b Bumrah 28 (Eng 206-3)

    But Jasprit Bumrah strikes with the following delivery!

    He draws a thick edge from Joe Root and Karun Nair takes the catch at first slip, fingers up.

    A crucial breakthrough and why India turned to their star bowler - India are still ahead by 265, and now have a much better chance to stopping England eating deep into that lead.

    Fair enough, Ollie Pope. Fair enough.

    That is a special innings at the perfect time. He has been under pressure recently. Anyone who gets a hundred against an attack with Bumrah in, you know you've done well.

  10. 100 runs

    100 for Ollie Pope

    Eng 206-2

    There's the century!

    It's not the most elegant way to reach the hundred, inside edging the returning Jasprit Bumrah past his stumps and taking the single.

  11. Michael Vaughan

    It has been a very brisk scoring innings. India are desperately searching for the wicket with various kinds of deliveries.

  12. Eng 204-2

    Ollie Pope moves to 99, taking a single out to a fielder at deep cover then hurrying through another out to deep point, deciding against coming back for a risky two.

    Root closes the over with a reverse chopped single to retain the strike.

    I have been quite perplexed by Shubman Gill's captaincy. Shardul Thakur is a swing bowler so he would have been better used when the ball was a bit fresher.

    I don't know why they waited so long to use him.

    I was looking forward to seeing another Prasidh Krishna v Ollie Pope battle but it doesn't look like we'll get that. I wonder if India were tempted to give Bumrah a few more.

  14. Eng 200-2

    Ah, Thakur's changed ends to replace Krishna.

    It doesn't go much better bowling in this direction, with Pope slapping a wide first delivery through point for four, and a delivery clipping the legs of England's number three on its way to the ropes for four leg byes.

    A couple more singles out to long leg takes Pope to 97, with the latter of those also bringing up England's 200.

    This is effectively a one-man bowling attack. Bumrah is world class, but the rest of the Indian attack is pretty pedestrian in these conditions.

    Ravindra Jadeja has bowled well but India know Joe Root bats so well against spin, which is why he hasn't been used as much.

  17. Eng 188-2

    Ravindra Jadeja comes back to replace Shardul Thakur.

    England's batters take a single apiece from his first over, with Pope hurrying through a deflected forward defensive to leg slip.

    So, so pleased for Pope. The satisfaction after seeing everyone question him must be amazing. Cue his immediate dismissal…

    This is one of the best I have seen Ollie Pope. He seems to have found an inner calmness this summer.

  20. Eng 186-2

    Ollie Pope pulls out of a ramp shot to Prasidh Krishna and gets a few verbals from the India seamer.

    No matter, he hooks the following delivery through fine leg for four, moving to 90.

    Krishna has gone for 0-56 from his ten overs.
