Target 378
India are going for the England tactic here.
Mohammed Siraj is round the wicket, banging it in short to Joe Root.
He sways out of the way from the first ball...
Postpublished at 18:14 British Summer Time 4 July 2022
Joe Root and Jonny Bairstow have seen Jasprit Bumrah off again.
Mohammed Siraj comes on.

BBC Test Match Special statisticianBairstow is only the third England player batting at five or lower to have five consecutive 50-plus scores in Tests after Joe Root, he had six in a row, and Ian Bell.

Former England batter on BBC Test Match SpecialBairstow has been becalmed compared to what we've seen recently. He's been along for the ride with Root going well.

Target 278
Four more.
A bit of width from Mohammed Shami and Jonny Bairstow back cuts to the boundary.
England are going ridiculously well again. Can this partnership get them to close in just over 15 minutes time?

BBC Test Match SpecialA low punch of the glove from Jonny Bairstow. This is the summer of Jonny Bairstow, the best he's ever played in red-ball cricket. At the moment, it looks like he's helping England to an unlikely victory.

Eng 232-3
Another half-century for Jonny Bairstow.
It is five in a row for the Yorkshireman. He is in the form of his life.
"Jonny Bairstow, da da da" rings around Edgbaston.
There is just a low fist pump in celebration. He knows the job isn't done yet.

Arjun Singh: I feel like we don’t talk about the Root cover drive enough. That was glorious.

BBC Test Match SpecialWonderful shot from Joe Root. He's had to put the run out of Lees behind him and it takes a strong mind to do that.

Shotttt!
Full and wide from Jasprit Bumrah and Joe Root leans into the drive and pierces it through extra cover for another boundary.
A lovely shot.

BBC Test Match SpecialThis has been such a good partnership because they had to work so hard at the start, England had just lost three quick wickets. Now they're starting to flourish.

Oh, Jonny.
Superb timing and placement brings Bairstow four more through point.
He really is timing the ball so well at the moment.
For those that are counting down, England need 156 more to win.

Here are the best shots from Joe Root's half-century.
He's been terrific again.

A change for India as Mohammed Shami returns.
They know they need to break this partnership tonight. It is worth 109 now by the way.

Former England batter on BBC Test Match SpecialThis over shows why this partnership is so dangerous. Bumrah has bowled a pretty good over but Joe Root has just managed to milk three runs off it.

Oh! That is the best over for a good while from Jasprit Bumrah.
Joe Root tries to upper cut away but misses, before Bumrah slides one past the outside edge.
Root works him for a couple before taking the strike with a single.

Former England batter on BBC Test Match SpecialThis has got to be it. Bumrah came on earlier and created some magic. If he doesn't get anything now then England are looking so comfortable.

India need wickets and Jasprit Bumrah has turned to himself. Can he find the breakthrough?
He's picked up two wickets so far.
