  1. Ind 258-2published at 80.3 overs

    A crunching drive from KL Rahul, who sends the hard ball through the covers for four. A tad overpitched by Ollie Robinson and Rahul turns it into a half volley.

    Joe Root does not look impressed.

  2. Ind 254-2published at 80.1 overs

    Gasps as Ollie Robinson beats the outside egde of KL Rahul's bat.

    Mark Wood finishes his over with a bouncer to Virat Kohli before the India skipper defends one back of a length.

    England have taken the new ball immediately, and Ollie Robinson will start with the fresh cherry.

    These 10 overs late in the day could go a long way to setting up tomorrow for England.

    James Gulleford: Can’t quite say Root’s decision to bowl first has been as bad as Hussain at the Gabba in 2002. Root did get fooled by the cloud cover, but it looks like a pretty poor decision to field first now!

    India will be looking at 500. What a chance for them to bat well into the second day and give England a few overs at the end of it.

  7. Ind 249-2published at 78.6 overs

    Moeen Ali saunters through an over, with India taking two from it. Lord's looks a picture now as the shadows lengthen a little.

  8. Ind 247-2published at 78.0 overs

    Two overs until the new ball. James Anderson versus Virat Kohli should provide some fascinating early evening Test cricket.

    That is KL Rahul's sixth Test century, which came off 212 balls and contained nine fours and a six.

    It came in three phases. He scored 22 runs off the first 107 he faced, with no boundaries; then 53 off the next 60 balls; and then 27 off the next 45.

    That's perfection. It's been a joy to watch - a craftsman at work. He deserves three figures. He has played fantastic.

    A fine innings. Concentration and technique, and real determination. An excellent hundred. He has shown how it is to be done in these conditions.

  12. 100 runs

    100 for KL Rahulpublished at 77.3 overs

    He's done it with a boundary! Mark Wood goes wide of the crease and KL Rahul cuts it to the third man boundary. He takes off his helmet, looks to the sky, salutes the crowd with his bat and then gets a huge hug off Virat Kohli.

    Mark Wood to KL Rahul. Two needed for a century.

  14. Ind 241-2published at 76.4 overs

    Moeen Ali beats Virat Kohli's bat, and Jos Buttler's gloves, with one which skids on and runs away for four byes. There was a noise but it's come off Buttler's pad.

    Four overs until the new ball, incidentally. Moeen Ali will continue until then.

    For England, it's all about striking with the second new ball - and try to get back in the Test match. Virat Kohli looks in the mood.

  17. Ind 235-2published at 75.5 overs

    KL Rahul is closing in on a place on the Lord's honours board. He times a crisp drive through extra cover which takes him on to 98. He just leaned on that, all timing.

    Mark Wood follows it up with a bouncer which Rahul bobs and weaves to avoid.

    Some turn from Moeen Ali as one grips and hits the inside edge of KL Rahul's bat and strikes the pad.

    This is the second-highest score for two wickets down from the 47 times England have inserted the opposition in England. You have to go back to 1926 when England put Australia in and they got to 249-2.
