Overview

  • Joe Root drove the opening delivery of the day for four to convert his overnight 99 into a 37th Test century.
  • Jasprit Bumrah removed Ben Stokes with a seaming delivery before uprooting Root’s middle stump in his second over of the morning.
  • A DRS review by Shubman Gill overturned the on-field call to give Chris Woakes out caught behind and complete Bumrah’s triple strike.
  • England tumbled from 251-4 overnight to 271-7 on a turning Lord’s surface, ceding control of the first innings.
  • With the series locked at 1-1, India now holds the upper hand as they press to overhaul England’s total.
