India vs England 3rd Test Highlights, Day 2: England ended Day 2 at 423/8. They go into the overnight break with a massive lead of runs 345 runs. The third session began with Root racing to his sixth 100 of the season and third of the series. Soon after, Bairstow fell on 29 to Mohammed Shami after bringing up a 50-run stand with Root. Eventually, Root's masterclass came to end on 121 and it was Jasprit Bumrah who got the better of the English skipper once again. The very last ball of the second session produced a wicket as Mohammed Siraj dismissed Dawid Malan for 70.

That's all for today
That's all we have for you today. Thank you so much for joining us. We will see you tomorrow with live action from Day 3. Until then, it's goodnight. CIAO!
Another day of England domination
Right from the word go on Day 2, England dominated. Yes, two of the sessions were shared because India did pick up two in the first and five wickets in the third session but don't let this stat misguide you. Be it Dawid Malan's 70 or Joe Root's masterclass of an innings of 121, the day belonged to England.
For India, Mohammed Shami was the pick of the bowlers as he bagged three wickets, while Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja bagged two each. Burmah got the all-important wicket of Root and Sharma went wicketless on a day that he would want to forget at the earliest.
At Stumps on Day 2: ENG are 423/8 after 129 overs with a massive lead of 345 runs.
Last over of the day to be bowled by Ishant Sharma
Ishant Sharma is charging in to bowl the last over of the day.
FOUR Short and wide from Ishant and Overton cuts the ball in front of square for four. Just not been his day. Not at all!
HOWZAT!!! NOT-OUT! There is a shout for LBW against Robinson. It was a full-length delivery angled into the stumps. Kohli went for the review and replay showed that there was a massive inside edge.
India lose their review and that's Stumps on Day 2.
OUT
OUT! Sam Curran holes out to substitute Mayank Agarwal after mistiming a pull shot off Mohammed Siraj.
ENG are 418/8 after 127.1 overs, lead by 340 runs
Overton playing his shots
Craig Overton is freeing his arms. He has two boundaries already, including a brilliant on-drive off Ishant Sharma.
9 overs left today
9 overs left today, highly unlikely India will be able to get all those overs in
Overton, Curran playing some shots
This is not surprising at all. Their lead is over 300, now anything England's lower-order gets will be bonus and add to India's agony. Mind you, both Overton and Curran are quite capable batsmen. 400 for 7 England
Jadeja gets Ali
OUT! Moeen Ali hits it straight to mid on, Jadeja gets his second wicket. The idea from Moeen was right but he sort of yorked himself by getting too close to the ball, didn't get the elevation and ended up providing a simple catch to substitute Axar Patel at mid on. India clawing their way back in. England 383/7
Bumrah cleans up Root
BOWLED! Bumrah has gone through Joe Root (121) to bring an end to a fantastic innings from the England captain. It needed a special delivery to breach Root's defenses and Bumrah produced just that. But what an innings from Root. He leaves the field with a rousing reception from the Headingley crowd. England 383/6
Root on a roll
The England captain is bringing out all the shots from his closet. This time, he reverse sweeps Jadeja for a boundary. Everything will turn into gold, if it has the Root touch now.
Probing over from Shami
Shami has got his tail up. We haven't really got an opportunity to say this about Indian bowler in this Test up until now. Shami, who has already got three, looks like he can pick up more.
Drinks
Players have now taken drinks and Moeen Ali has joined Joe Root in the middle.
OUT! SHAMI HAS HIS THIRD
OUT! BUTTLER FLICKS ONE STRAIGHT TO SQUARE LEG AND HE HAS TO PERISH.
In all fairness, it was a nothing delivery. Shami, from over the wicket, dragged it down the leg side. Buttler flicked the ball off his pads but managed to hit it straight to Ishant Sharma at square leg. He has to go for 7.
ENG are 360/5 after 111.3 overs, lead by 282 runs.
Jos Buttler walks in
Jos Buttler is the new man in
OUT! SHAMI HAS HIS SECOND
OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! At last, a nick that has carried to the slip cordon. Shami induces the edge just outside the off stump and Virat Kohli does very well to get down low to his left and grab the catch.
ENG are 350/4 after 107.3 overs
BAIRSTOW TAKES THE ATTACK TO JADEJA
SIX!! Bairstow begins the over with a stand-and-deliver six over long-on
FOUR! Bairstow ends the over with a sweep past the diving short fine leg fielder for four.
AND THATS THE 50-RUN PARTNERSHIP
ENG 349/3 after 107 overs, lead by 270
100 FOR ROOT. 3RD OF THE SERIES
RUTHLESS ROOT GETS TO HIS 100 IN STYLE!
He whips the ball off his pads to the deep mid-wicket boundary to brings up his sixth century of the season and a third of the series.
The crowd erupts in Leeds as Root leaps in air with his helmet off.
What a show this has been!
ENG 335/3 after 104 overs
100 OVERS UP
FOUR! A scintillating checked drive from Root to the long-off boundary caps off the 100th over.
ENG are 313/3, lead by 235 runs
300 up for England
300 up for England, the lead is now of 223.
ENG 301/3 after 96 overs
Third session begins
Ravindra Jadeja to Joe Root as we are underway for the last 2.5 hours of the day.
And he begins with maid
TEA
India got the wicket on the last ball of the session. Root still unbeaten on 80.
Another session that went England's way.
ENG end session on 298/3 after 94 overs, lead by 220 runs
OUT! WHAT A REVIEW
OUT! MALAN FALLS AT THE STROKE OF TEA! The final ball of the 94th over whizzed past Dawid Malan's bat down the leg side. There was a huge appeal from someone but Pant didn't look interested. But Siraj persisted and the replay showed that there was a small tickle!
Malan goes for 70.
Nothing is working for India, AGAIN
The moment Siraj was brought on, he was asked to bowl from around the wicket and had protection in the deep for the pull short and for the uppercut.
He has bowled several short balls but no to avail as they have either been hit for a single or for a boundary. This is going to be a long, long day for India.
ENG 292/2 after 92 overs, lead by 214 runs
Short break in play
There was a short halt in play because Root had a problem with his right eye. The umpire helped him and it was taken care of
Lead of 200 now
England extend lead to 200 runs. Root unbeaten on 68, while Malan is batting on 62
ENG are 278/2 after 89 overs, lead by 200 runs.
