  2. Eng 269-2

    Lead by 191

    Another no-ball for Ishant before Joe Root flicks one off his pads for three.

    What can India do from here? It's pretty brutal already and they look very flat in the field but can someone spark some motivation from somewhere?!

  3. Eng 264-2

    As much as it's been Joe Root's day, it's really not been Ishant Sharma's. He starts this spell with a no-ball and then Dawid Malan guides one to third man for yet another four.

    Ishant follows it up with a proper grumpy double teapot.

  4. How's stat?!

    Andy Zaltzman
    Test Match Special statistician

    The hundred partnership came up in 22.5 overs.

  5. Eng 259-2

    Malan 51, Root 62

    100 partnership now?! Already?

    This is too good to be true.

  6. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Well played, Dawid Malan. He's doing the job that he returned to do.

  7. Sir Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    It was a lovely situation for Dawid Malan to make his return and he's making it count. He has looked at home.

    Knowing him like I do he'll know that is just half the job.

  8. 50 runs

    50 for Malan

    Phew. A comfortable single to third man brings up Dawid Malan's half-century on his return to the Test side.

  9. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    That was a moment of fortune for Dawid Malan and England. Malan is lucky there.

  10. Eng 256-2

    Edged! But dropped short in front of Pant. George (14:48) must've been panicking there.

  11. Eng 256-2

    Lead by 178

    Root comfortably sees out the over and now Malan is on strike on 49.

  12. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Joe Root makes that shot look so ridiculously easy.

  13. Eng 256-2

    Another day, another backfoot punch for four from Joe Root.

  14. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    There is still a lot of batting to come with Ollie Robinson down at number 10.

  15. Sir Alastair Cook
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    A little word for Haseeb Hameed. These are almost his runs from this morning. He has allowed these guys to have an easier passage.

  16. Eng 252-2

    Malan 49, Root 57

    Yet another profitable over for England. This is turning into a brutal day for India's bowlers.

  17. Eng 252-2

    Lead by 174

    I'm not sure, George, but Malan has 49 now so basically, if he gets out, it's on you. No pressure.

  18. Get Involved

    Text 81111 (standard message rates apply)

    *Not wanting to jinx anything* ... If Dawid & Root go on to both hit 50s... when was the last time the English top four all hit half centuries?

    George in Hackney

  19. Eng 252-2

    A lovely four for Malan, expertly guided to third man. Straight out of the Joe Root textbook, that.

    He follows it up with another four, thumped through cover off the back foot. Authoritative.

  20. It's been all about Joe Root for the last half an hour or so, but Dawid Malan has also been playing very nicely.
