    Comfortably home.

    Rishabh Pant is playing this like an ODI at the moment. He is just working the ball into the gaps and timing it for a couple.

  2. Umpire reviewpublished at 17:27 British Summer Time 15 August 2021

    Direct hit from Jonny Bairstow, as India look to come back for a second.

    I think he's fine...

    I wonder how Rishabh Pant will bat here...?

    Lead by 131

    Rishabh Pant rides the bounce well and works the ball into the on side to pick up another single.

    It was a good-length ball and took off from nowhere. Cheteshwar Pujara gloved it. A big wicket and a big moment in this game. He has played well and it's an important innings for both him and the them. It was too good for him.

    Lead by 130

    Rishabh Pant is off the mark with a shovel into the on side for a couple.

    Mark Wood got a big hug and pat on the back from Joe Root.

    Root loves having Wood in his team.

    Rishabh Pant is the new batter. How does he go about this?

    Pujara c Root b Wood 45 (Ind 155-4)

    From nowhere!

    Mark Wood finds an extra little bit of bounce, it took off from a reasonable length, and Cheteshwar Pujara can't really do anything about this. He tries to defend and sway but the ball catches the shoulder of the bat and loops to Joe Root, who is very close under the lid at second slip.

    Big moment with the new ball just 7.2 overs away.

  10. Ind 155-3published at 72.3 overs

    Lead by 128

    Mark Wood drops short and Cheteshwar Pujara swivel pulls to the boundary.

    That's the century partnership from 296 balls.

    Patrick Brennan: Well played Pujara and Rahane, although let's be honest - they have together ruined what was bubbling up to be a cracker...

    It is going to be Mark Wood from the Pavillion End after drinks.

    Ollie Robinson has only bowled 10 overs so far by the way. He should fit and firing with the new ball in around half an hours time.

    Number 41: Set up for Pant to go berserk perhaps.

  15. drinks break

    Ind 151-3published at 72 overs

    Lead by 124

    There's a bit of spin there straight away for Joe Root. So much so that it spins past Cheteshwar Pujara and Jos Buttler and Jonny Bairstow almost slide tackles the ball with his left foot at slip.

    That will be drinks. The new ball is eight overs away.

    Ajinkya Rahane's half-century off 125 balls was his sixth slowest of the 36 he has made for India.

  19. Ind 149-3published at 71 overs

    Lead by 122

    Oh! Cheteshwar Pujara manages to york himself, as he comes down the pitch again, and he jams it past Joe Root at slip.

    A tiny error of judgement. There haven't been many of those from him today.

    Ed Baldwin: This partnership is the most unbelievably tedious thing I’ve ever seen, but I can’t take my eyes off it.
