I'm not sure Ravindra Jadeja will like his picture on the big screen. He looks like Lionel Ritchie! What has happened to his hair? It looks nothing like that any more.
Lead by 353
Ollie Robinson takes a big swing and a miss at Jadeja, but completely misses.
A maiden over from the spinner first up.
Here's what Joe Root said on TMS about the match situation this morning: "We've got to get as many runs as we can and get ourselves into a really strong position. If we do that with these two then great, if not when we might send James [Anderson] out. We'll make that decision depending on the situation."

Craig Overton can bat. It wasn't quite Joe Root, but it was a square drive rather than a cut.

As soon as India drop short that shot is on and it is four runs because nobody is there.
Lead by 353
The first runs of the morning come from Craig Overton, cutting Shami to the cover boundary.
And he follows it with another, this time clipped through midwicket. Too short from the bowler.

The odds of India getting anything out of this game are nigh on impossible. They have to see the bigger picture - there are those psychological battles to win.
Pace and bounce first ball from Shami beats Overton's outside edge, greeted by typically dramatic gasps from wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant.
Good news! Play is starting on time. For England, Craig Overton is 24 not out and Ollie Robinson yet to score. Mohammed Shami is taking the first over for India.
How long will we see England bat for this morning? Add a quick 50 if possible, or grind it out until lunch? Let's find out!
England captain Joe Root on TMS: "It is nice to get us in a really strong position, particularly off the back of last week. It has been a great response from the group, and i'm really proud of the group.
"It was really important that the guys took some time away and enjoyed the time at it. It is something we've not had for a while and to gain some perspective. I thought the bowling was outstanding, and it just allowed the guys to play.
"It is about partnerships - it doesn't matter where they come from. It is about collectively getting good partnerships that get you to a substantial total. It was just really pleasing to see that coming from the start of the innings, they set a foundation and platform and put overs into their bowlers, which is always important in a long series. You can never underestimate the impact that might have later down the line."
Joe Root's record-breaking summer continued with his 121 yesterday. It's not easy to keep up with all the stats surrounding his run-scoring but you can read about just how good he has been here.
And here's what he had to say about the match so far ...

There is a little bit of drizzle and it is very frustrating.
The cover is on, but not in a serious manner. The big covers aren't out yet.
In case you missed any of yesterday, it was another great day for England and their captain in particular. Why not treat yourself to the highlights while we wait for news on whether we'll be starting on time?
BBC Weather's Louise Lear: "The weather is boring. It is a bit drizzly, I don't think it will cause too many issues, but there may be a small delay.
"It may brighten up a little bit in the afternoon, but there will be lots of cloud around.
"The current drizzle shouldn't last for any longer than an hour or two, and I am surprised that it is heavy enough to affect play."
Here's the situation at Headingley ...
