Kal Sajad, Ffion Wynne and Callum Matthews

  1. We're finally ready to play.

    It'll be Ravindra Jadeja to Joe Root first up.

  2. Hmmm, a strange moment at the start of this session.

    The two umpires have noticed that Rishabh Pant has tape on his gloves, to put a couple of fingers together.

    That isn't allowed and Virat Kohli helps him remove it.

  3. There are still 37 overs left in the day, so we'll certainly be playing past 18:00 BST.

    What time we finish may depend on how many overs spinner Ravindra Jadeja gets through in this session.

  4. Joe Root strides back out to the middle, alongside fellow Yorkshireman and good friend Jonny Bairstow. Well, after Jonny keeps him waiting for a while at least.

    These two will run hard and will be looking to run India ragged.

  6. Ebony Rainford-Brent
    Former England batter on BBC Test Match Special

    It's been all England and all Joe Root.

  7. In case you're just checking in for the first time today England lost Rory Burns and Haseeb Hameed - who got a bit stuck and only scored eight runs today - in the morning session.

    Have a watch.

  8. Jonathan Agnew
    BBC cricket correspondent on Test Match Special

    Joe Root is batting so well. His confidence is brimful.

  9. There was chat during the Lord's Test about Joe Root scoring the most runs in a calendar year.

    He's up to 1,357 at the moment.

    Pakistan's Mohammad Yousuf holds the record with 1,788.

    With another innings in this Test, two more games in this series and three Ashes Tests to come, Root could well get there.

  10. Daniel Norcross
    Commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    That is as good as Root has batted all summer - and that is saying something because he has batted brilliantly all summer.

  11. Joe Root has just been Joe Root so far. He's up to 80, off just 94 balls.

    You look up and he's on 15. You look up again he's on 30. You look up again and he's 50.

    He is just relentless. He could grind India into the dirt this evening.

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

    What an opportunity for one of these England players to go massive.

  13. Here are some highlights from Dawid Malan's 70.

    He looked composed, and played some beautiful strokes on his return to the Test arena.

    We'll bring you his wicket soon. It was a horrid way to get out. Malan knew.

  14. Thanks Ffion.

    What a shame that England lost Dawid Malan there, but what a position they are in. What a day they are having. Again.

    What will happen after tea? That's the big question. Jonny Bairstow, Jos Buttler, Moeen Ali have a platform, but England could quite easily lose a few quick ones.

  15. And that's it from me for the day. Here's Callum Matthews, fresh off his score-predicting success, to see you through until the end of play.

  16. Daniel Norcross
    Commentator on BBC Test Match Special

    A dramatic end to the session. Malan will be furious - there was a hundred there for the taking.

  17. Tea - Eng 298-3

    Lead by 220

    So, on the stroke of tea, India get something to smile about.

    But what a commanding position England are in. That partnership between Root and Malan was worth 139, England lead by 220 runs and Joe Root is still there on 80.

    Bairstow, Buttler and Ali to come, remember. What an evening session this could be ...

  18. Stephan Shemilt
    BBC Sport at Emerald Headingley

    More than even the batsman himself, Joe Root was absolutely devastated at that wicket of Dawid Malan.

  19. wicket

    WICKET

    Malan c Pant b Siraj 70 (Eng 298-3)

    The faintest of edges! I've got to be honest, I thought this was a totally desperate review.

    But Malan looked as if he knew he was in trouble, and rightly so - just edging one down the leg side. Siraj was the only one to appeal, but rightly convinced Kohli to go for the review.

    What a knock from Malan, though.

  20. India review

    Have India got Dawid Malan caught down the leg side on the stroke of tea?! Umpire says no, Kohli reluctantly reviews. Siraj likes it.
