  1. Umpire review - OUTpublished at 16:56 British Summer Time 14 August 2021

    The umpires are just reviewing whether it carried to Virat Kohli in the slips. He seemed to have his fingers under the ball.

    Soft signal is out, and the television replays confirm it carried.

    Moeen Ali is back on his way to the pavilion.

    Moeen c Kohli b Ishant 28 (Eng 341-6)

    That's a good setup by Ishant Sharma, who gets Moeen Ali to nibble at one outside off stump which was swinging away. Virat Kohli snaffles it in the slips with a good grab to a ball that was on the way down.

    This is the ninth time that England have had fifty partnerships for the third, fourth, fifth and sixth wicket in Test cricket. It is only the third time at home.

    It is only the second time any team has done it at Lord's.

  4. Eng 341-5published at 110.3 overs

    Ishant Sharma searches outside off stump but Moeen Ali leaves one in the corridor of uncertainty. Third ball of the over in he bangs one in short, but Moeen picks it up and ducks early.

    "Lovely lovely Jadeja" encourages Rishabh Pant who, like the bowler Ravindra Jadeja, sports a pair of snazzy mirrored wrap-around sunglasses. Jadeja through another six balls in no time. One run taken by Moeen Ali off the over.

    Trail by 26 runs

    Ishant Sharma glides in and bowls with that velvet-smooth action of his. The ball strikes the inside edge of Joe Root's bat as he brings it down and dribbles away from the stumps.

    Is it time we thought again about Joss Butler's place? His brilliant innings come along about as often as Jimmy's poor deliveries. Give Bairstow the gloves and bring in another proper batsman, ie Pope

    Joe leads by example when his team needs him most, With skill and graft and no sign of a boast. He captains as well and contributes with the ball, Probably makes the tea and does the washing n'all.

    Joe Root is holding it all together again for England. He has put them right back in this Test match. It has been another brilliant exhibition on a Saturday afternoon.

  11. Eng 339-5published at 107.6 overs

    Another whistlestop over from Ravindra Jadeja, who surely doesn't deserve his wages to be docked next time the ICC dish out fines for over rates. Three singles milked off it by Joe Root and Moeen Ali.

    Joe Root now has 11 scores of 150-plus in Test cricket. That takes him level with Sir Alastair Cook as the most 150-plus scores for England.

    Joe Root has been extremely comfortable and both he and England are in a comfortable position right now.

    150 - Joe Rootpublished at 16:42 British Summer Time 14 August 2021

    The England captain is grinning like a Cheshire Cat. A boundary off Ishant Sharma through point to bring up his 150. It perhaps wasn't where he intended but frankly, who cares.

    I am surprised by how few bouncers India have bowled to Moeen Ali.

  18. Eng 330-5published at 106.2 overs

    A bowling change as Ishant Sharma returns from the Pavilion End. He bangs one in short and wide, and Joe Root jumps in the air before dropping into point for a single. Steady stuff from England.

    Root unbeaten on 146 now.

    India are under a little bit of pressure. The England batters are looking so comfortable and India are having to be defensive to stop the flow of runs, while trying to pick up wickets.

    It is a conundrum for Virat Kohli. It has become a very interesting game.

  20. Eng 330-5published at 105.6 overs

    Ravindra Jadeja is trying to draw Moeen Ali into playing a big shot by tossing a few up, but the Worcestershire man resists. Moeen plays a calculated sweep off the last ball of another rapid over.
