IND vs ENG Highlights, 3rd Test Day 2: India trail by 242 runs after yet another grinding day of Test cricket

IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: A little lucky from Carse, pokes it either side of the wicketkeeper off the edge to pick up a couple of boundaries. India will want Archer on strike and target him going forward.

IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: That didn't take too long! Good bowling from Siraj, who does get Smith ultimately after having seen him dropped. Tempts Smith to poke at it, and a fine edge is well taken by Jurel with the gloves. That could be the difference in keeping England short of 400.

IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: India have found success through this Test after breaks in play fairly consistently, able to scratch wickets together. But yesterday's lunch session saw them go wicketless. But this partnership is threatening plenty: 400 would be a well above-par score on this surface.

IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: That's all for the first session, Jurel left with a sting on the fingers as well. This partnership up to 82 runs and going, Carse also looking good — but Jamie Smith is the big threat here.

Back soon for a session which India could come to struggle in, but their hope will be to wrap things up.

IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: India will need to find some sort of plan for this young man. Once again, he has just looked at total ease, scoring runs for fun. Only 52 deliveries to register thsis half-century, and England suddenly cross 350. Well on top now.

IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: No, this is not a skit. But it might still be a farce. Once again the Dukes ball needs to be changed. This is going to cause an inquest.

IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: India started the day so well and with so much buzz that this is a little surprising to see, how flat India have gone. Jadeja on to try and force an error.

IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: The umpires had the ball changed just 10 overs into its use after they decided it was out of shape, but the replacement ball doesn't have the same movement and bounce as the initial one. Gill is in a long discussion with the umpires, but India need to find their focus again here and do what needs to be done. It's the rub of the green going against them, but can't lose track.

IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: Bumrah done after a five-over spell, couldn't quite get the five-fer to wrap it up. Akash Deep trying to have an impact now. Jamie Smith races to 30 off just 29.

IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: Anything that allows him to drive and free his arms, Jamie Smith will take. How happy are India to let him take these high risk shots? Didn't work at Edgbaston. Score nears 300.

IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: And another! Woakes floats at one outside off-stump, and neither Bumrah or Jurel are too interested – but Gill is convinced to review by the men in the slips, and it's a great call. Very clear spike on snicko, and England are now seven down!

Hat-trick ball… Carse survives.

IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: HUGE WICKET! Root can only add 5 to his overnight total and has to walk. He tries to drive Bumrah, but there is just that much more bounce with the hard new ball. Catches the inside edge and rockets into the stumps.

India generating chances here, they will hope to wrap this up quickly with the bowlers walking out now.

IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: Big drop! Usually KL Rahul is so safe in the slips, but this one just gets a little too big on him a little too quick. Siraj isn't pleased at all, he's bowled well for no reward. Rahul holds himself to a high standard, won't be happy either. Jamie Smith a second life early in the piece.

IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: Bullseye! Stokes gone for 44. His chance after that run doesn't last long. Bumrah from around the wicket, gets it to seam back into Stokes from a length. The English captain is nowhere close and Bumrah has that steely look in his eye. Sensational, typical.

IND vs ENG Live Score, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: England have nearly thrown it away! Stokes hits it right at mid off and for some reason sets off for the run. He would never get there, and he gives up halfway. Direct hit and it was curtains — but the fielder can't hit.

Siraj sharing the new ball with Bumrah.

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: A first ball teeming with anticipation, and Root flashes at it against Bumrah. It's an edge, but a thick one, and it runs away for four! Kitchen sink stuff, but a well-deserved 37th Test century for this modern great, and a record-extending eighth century at Lord's.

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: Bad news for Indian fans. The BCCI has confirmed right before the start of play that Rishabh Pant is still being ‘monitored’ after his finger injury, and Dhruv Jurel will continue to be his understudy with the gloves. Putting him on ice to keep him ready for batting, hopefully just that.

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: English captain Ben Stokes was in some discomfort in the closing half-an-hour of play with a pulled groin, but he has been confirmed to be feeling better and ready to go. Stokes has gotten his eye in and will be looking at consolidating — how he deals with the hard new ball will be key in this morning session.

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: We are just 30 minutes away from the start of play on Day 2. Joe Root and Ben Stokes will walk out to bat for England while Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj will look to dismiss the overnight batters and get into the hosts' tail as soon as possible.

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: The new ball is just three overs old and it remains to be seen who shares the new cherry. Jasprit Bumrah and Akash Deep are the frontrunners to take the new ball but don't be surprised if Shubman Gill choose Mohammed Siraj.

The start of play is just 45 minutes away. 

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: In case you missed it, bugs stopped play for a while in the final session of Day 1 of the Lord's Test. Jasprit Bumrah and Ben Stokes both looked miffed.  Ben Stokes was also seen chatting with umpire Reiffel as play came to a temporary halt.

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: Ollie Pope addressed the media after stumps on Day 1. Speaking to reporters, the right-hander explained why England adopted a defensive approach at Lord's on the opening day of the third Test.

“It was the traditional… pretty slow pitch. It wasn’t a pitch you never really felt in on. I think obviously ending the day 251-4 is pretty good. It’s slightly different to how we normally go about putting together innings, but we’ll take it and hopefully we can kick on tomorrow,” said Pope while speaking to BBC Test Match Special. 

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: Owing to his unbeaten 99-run knock on Day 1, Joe Root went past the 3000-run mark against India in Tests. The right-handed England batter is the leading run-scorer against India in the longest format of the game.

He is also at the second spot in the list of most fifties in Test matches, only behind Sachin Tendulkar. 

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: England took a 360 degree turn from the ‘Bazball’ approach as they dug their heels in to play on the merit of the ball. Mohammed Siraj and Shubman Gill both took a dig at the changed approach.

Siraj approached Joe Root and was heard saying, “Baz, Baz, Bazball. Come on, I want to see.”

On the other hand, Shubman Gill said, “No more entertaining cricket. Welcome back to the boring Test cricket, boys.”

IND vs ENG Live Updates, India vs England 3rd Test Day 2: The weather is expected to be hot and dry for the second day as well. The sun will be baking down at the Lord's Cricket Ground, and the England batters hope to make the most of the favourable batting conditions.
