    A really interesting game of cricket building up here...

  2. Jos Buttler is the new batter.

    This is a tricky time to come in with the new ball just eight balls away.

    England still trail by 135...

  3. Mark Ramprakash
    Former England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    It may not have come off as quickly as Jonny Bairstow thought. He played really well and it was an excellent partnership with Joe Root. But it is a big blow and will now expose the lower order to the new ball.

  4. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    The short-pitched ploy has worked. It looked like Bairstow was through the shot too quickly.

    WICKET

    Bairstow c Kohli b Siraj 57 (Eng 229-4)

    No, no, no. The short-ball tactic works!

    Mohammed Siraj goes round the wicket, looking to cramp Jonny Bairstow for room, and it works. Bairstow can't resist trying to pull, but it catches the glove and loops up for a simple catch for Virat Kohli at slip.

    Bairstow is gutted. He is sloping off and can only manage a half-hearted bat raise to an appreciative Lord's crowd.

  6. Eng 229-3

    All but one of Mohammed Siraj's balls since lunch have been short...

  7. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    That is the first one today that has spun.

  8. Eng 227-3

    Ravindra Jadeja is absolutely rattling through his overs here. They'd be even quicker if he didn't overstep from time to time.

    The extra ball is a good one too. It grips a little bit and spins past the edge of Jonny Bairstow. Rishabh Pant whips the bails off but Bairstow hadn't moved a jot.

    Ashwin vs Root was a missed opportunity.

  10. Eng 226-3

    Trail by 138

    Better from Jonny Bairstow as he plays another pull down to move to 57.

    Joe Root keeps the strike with a single that England absolutely burgle with mid-on fast asleep and on his heels.

  11. Mark Ramprakash
    Former England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    That is good cricket - and good theatre. Siraj is charging in and testing the middle of the pitch. He's giving Jonny Bairstow plenty to think about.

  12. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    He got lucky. That was a miscue but it didn't go to hand.

  13. Eng 224-3

    Eeeh, this short-pitch bowling is making for some uncomfortable viewing at the moment.

    Jonny Bairstow misjudges one from Siraj slightly, largely because the ball doesn't quite get up enough. He ends up copping one on the shoulder blade.

    He pulls the next ball, far from convincingly, just past the reach of a diving Rishabh Pant, and picks up four.

  14. Mark Ramprakash
    Former England batsman on BBC Test Match Special

    He's a canny customer.

  15. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    That over from Jadeja last about a minute and a half.

  16. Eng 220-3

    A single apiece for Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow keeps the scoreboard ticking along.

    There are four overs till the new ball. That is going to be crucial either way.

  17. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    This morning was the third wicketless session that England have batted through this summer.

  18. Eng 218-3

    Joe Root is going to take on the pull by the looks of it. He picks up a single down to fine leg.

    Away from Lord's, Bruno Fernandes has just got his hat-trick for Man Utd against Leeds. He's my fantasy captain this week, so today can only go one way from here...

  19. Simon Mann
    BBC Test Match Special

    Root has a chance of back-to-back Saturday hundreds. There's something special about a Test match Saturday.

  20. Eng 217-3

    Mohammed Siraj has started with three shorter balls to Joe Root. That was probably about Plan P befoer the Test.

    Root has almost clothed a couple of them to Rishabh Pant.
