    Just a leg bye for the first over after drinks.

    I can't tell you much more. I had a few technical difficulties with my laptop that I had to sort!

    This is an important phase for India. It was a bonus to get Jonny Bairstow but they need to get a couple of wickets with the new ball.

    Smith, Williamson and Kohli are all magnificent players in their own right. But none of them has so consistently been the one to carry the entire team upon their backs like Joe Root does. Couldn't be happier for him.

    Here are some highlights from Joe Root's latest century...

    It was his 22nd in Test cricket.

    Joe Root is the second youngest player to 9,000 Test runs after Alastair Cook. Although the volume of Test cricket England play has helped him. He's the 16th player to reach the figure.

    Oh, Jos Buttler. He works Mohammed Shami's first ball back past Joe Root and mid-on for a glorious four.

    He's beaten between bat and pad later in the over, as he struggles with his balance on the Lord's slope, before playing a crunching drive away to end the over.

    England trail by 98 now. It is down to two figures.

    Time for a drink.

    Another change for India as Mohammed Shami replaces Ishant Sharma.

    This is only the fourth over with the new ball from the Pavillion End and this is the third bowler that has had a go...

  8. Postpublished at 14:40 British Summer Time 14 August 2021

    He's got some way to go catch Mohammad Yousuf, external, who racked up an astonishing 1,788 for Pakistan in 2006 - including nine centuries.

    Joe Root is on 1,181 for the year at the moment.

    James Radhi: Could Root break the Test record for most runs scored in a calendar year?! If the Ashes go ahead he has a chance.

  10. Eng 258-4published at 86 overs

    Joe Root picks up a couple more with a flick through square.

    He's beaten next ball by Jasprit Bumrah though. He's still got to work.

  11. Eng 256-4published at 85.2 overs

    The landmarks just keep on coming for Joe Root.

    He reaches 9,000 runs in Test cricket with a flick through square leg for four more.

    He is the second youngest to that landmark after Sir Alastair Cook. He's slots in ahead of Sachin Tendulkar and Ricky Ponting.

    That is some company.

    Here's the moment Joe Root brought up his 22nd Test century.

    Watch it once. Watch it twice. Oh, watch it 10 times. Why not?

    Trail by 112

    Jos Buttler looks pretty out of nick here. He needs to battle and battle hard. If he can get through this new ball period there are runs on offer as Joe Root, KL Rahul and Jonny Bairstow have shown in this Test.

    He gets caught on the pad, but he's coming far enough across to be outside the line.

    It's the first time ever Joe Root has made hundreds in consecutive Test innings for England.

    Richard Unwin: The people who thought the captaincy was affecting Joe Root's batting have gone quiet.

    Joe Root just exudes calmness.

  17. Eng 251-4published at 84 overs

    Before this year Joe Root had never made more than three centuries in a calendar year. He has five this year, already. England still have three Tests in this series and three against Australia if the Ashes goes ahead as scheduled. Make it 10 Joe.

    There's a little bit of movement there with the new ball, but Root and Jos Buttler are equal to it so far.

    Two Saturdays in a row Joe Root has carried England on his back with wonderful hundreds. Two Saturdays in a row he has marked the landmark with an emotional celebration. Uppercutting the sky, a roar to the heavens. What a batsman.
