3/7
It took India a long time to find any success, but it was the bowling of Washington Sundar that provided it after lunch, finding the outside edge of Ollie Pope. Another followed, as Sundar dismissed Harry Brook — but why was he only introduced in the 68th over?(AP)

Ben Stokes had his best batting outing of the series so far, building on his five-fer with a dogged display either side of a brief break retired hurt as he suffered from cramp. Returned later in the day and finished on 77*, to continue batting tomorrow.(Action Images via Reuters)
