That is Moeen Ali's first run since tea. He had played out 15 dot balls before that.
Moeen Ali dinks one into the point region off the last ball of Jasprit Bumrah's over to keep the strike.
Lord's say there are limited tickets available for Sunday. Tickets for the final day on Monday are also on sale - priced £20 for adults and £10 for children.
Weather forecast looks good. Must be tempting...
Jasprit Bumrah a little leaden footed as he ambles back to his mark. This toil, proper toil. He's 0-71 from 23.3 overs.
He dangles one wide of off stump which Moeen Ali leaves, and then he confidently blocks the next ball.
There's a quiet determination about Moeen so far.

I have to say I have been very impressed about the way that Moeen Ali has gone about his business. He has left the ball left. It has been convincing so far.
I was a bit surprised he came in below Jos Buttler. He was scored double the first-class runs that Buttler has, and he has the temperament to be a top-order batsman.

Ravindra Jadeja has now bowled 31 overs in this series without taking a wicket.
Joe Root chops one down and it runs away through the slips which allows him to scamper a couple. That wasn't a million miles from the stumps.
Virat Kohli turns back to spin, perhaps giving his flagging seamers a break, in the form of Ravindra Jadeja.

It is often spoke about openers spending a lot of time out of the field when they make a big score, but Joe Root was out there quickly. It is an amazing feat of fitness and concentration.
Lord's looks positively resplendent now, bathed in late afternoon sunshine. I'm sure a few of the members will be dozing in this.
Jasprit Bumrah is sticking to his task diligently. He manages to get one to jag back sharply and climb into the inside thigh pad of Joe Root. The England skipper keeps his hands out the way.

That must have been a pretty decent ball to beat someone on 141! That is no mean feat.
Mohammed Shami grimaces in frustration. He manages to beat Joe Root's bat with a good delivery, shaping away to the slips, but it doesn't take the edge.

I wonder if India have worked out a plan for Moeen Ali at tea. There is no-one at deep square leg, which surprises me, because the short ball is always a good option against Moeen.
Moeen Ali with a good leave from one angled in just outside his off stump by Jasprit Bumrah. Excellent judgment.

A direct hit from sub fielder Axar Patel from square leg, but Moeen Ali is comfortably in his ground. England pinch a second after the ball deflected off the stumps.

Surely Brian Close is a frequenter of sat nav screens?
Lee in Leeds
Five dot balls to Joe Root from Mohammed Shami before the England skipper guides on behind point off the last ball of the over.

There is a Cover Drive in Telford if Root fancied moving.

Some crackers incoming from cricketers on a sat nav...
