Jofra Archer to Bumrah, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! England review for caught behind! Back of a length delivery angling down leg, Bumrah looks to pull but it goes through to the keeper. Root was the one who was adamant about going for the review with Archer not interested. And UltraEdge shows a clear spike when it's next to the glove. Archer shakes his head with a smile on his face while the crowd goes Rooooooooooooot. Bumrah c Jamie Smith b Jofra Archer 4(7) [4s-1]
113.5

Stokes to Siraj, FOUR, hammered over the bowler's head! Full delivery angling in on middle and leg, Siraj backs away and gets a good piece of it as he swings through the line. Must've really enjoyed that one
113
4
Jofra Archer to Bumrah, FOUR, edged and four! Pitched right up just outside off, Bumrah goes hard on the drive, loses his shape and drags it off a thick inside edge past leg stump
112.4
Jofra Archer to Siraj, 1 run, good length delivery angling in, Siraj tucks it into the on-side
112.3
W
Jofra Archer to Pant, out Bowled!! Injury or no injury, this delivery would've been difficult to deal with. It's similar to the way he cleaned him up on the final day at Lord's, and the off stump has gone cartwheeling again. Pant's courageous effort comes to an end, and Siraj pats him on his way back. Angling in from round the wicket, lands on a good length and nips away to go past the edge in defence. Pant is rooted to the crease as he's squared up and the off stump is hammered. Pant b Jofra Archer 54(75) [4s-3 6s-2]
111.1
F
Stokes to Pant, FOUR, the timing is electric from Pant who will get a big applause as he raises his fifty! What an effort this is. Batting with a broken right foot, he is adding useful runs towards the back-end of the innings. Full and wide outside off, he reaches out and just puts bat on ball without going hard. Gets it right off the middle and it races away through cover. No chance for the fielder at deep point
110.4
6
Jofra Archer to Pant, SIX, slower ball, sits up from short of length and Pant latches onto it! First one he has got right off the middle since walking out to the field today. Opens the hips and nails the pull over the midwicket boundary
109.5
W
Stokes to Anshul Kamboj, out Caught by Jamie Smith!! Cracking delivery and it's too good for Kamboj! Stokes has a five-for after eight years! Angling in around off, good length ball, Kamboj looks to defend but it nips away viciously, taking a feather of an edge to the keeper. His rhythm has been top-class this summer and he once again has been the pick of the English bowlers. India eight down. Anshul Kamboj c Jamie Smith b Stokes 0(3)
109.2
W
Stokes to Washington Sundar, out Caught by Woakes!! Stokes strikes with the short ball again! He got Sudharsan out last evening in the same fashion. Round the wicket, banged into the pitch, and it gets big on Washington as he goes for the pull shot. Flies off the top-edge to fine leg where Woakes takes it comfortably. He seems to suggest that he didn't pick it initially, but no mistake in the end. Fourth wicket of the innings for the England captain who's putting in a big shift again. Washington Sundar c Woakes b Stokes 27(90) [4s-2]
108
4
Stokes to Washington Sundar, FOUR, the edge flies away in the gap! Very full outside off, there for the drive and Washington doesn't hold back. His weight doesn't quite go into the shot though. Gets a healthy edge and it flies between slips and gully
107.1
4
Stokes to Pant, byes, FOUR, straying well down the leg-side, Pant looks to slog, misses, and Smith can't get to it either
106.4
Jofra Archer to Washington Sundar, no run, umpire's call saves Washington! Another beauty from Archer and very similar to the previous ball. Angling in from round the wicket, pitches on a good length and nips away to beat the outside edge in defence. It hits the back pad and goes through to the keeper, leading to a big appeal. Impact, though, is marginal on off stump
101.4
W
Stokes to Thakur, out Caught by Duckett!! Edged and taken! That's a fine catch by Duckett at gully. This was an outswinger pitched up by the bowler outside off, Thakur goes for a drive away from his body and the outside edge flies straight to gully. Duckett dives to his left and plucks it out of thin air. End of a pivotal knock by Thakur. He's walking back to the pavilion, but he slows down near the boundary. Look who is coming out to bat! Pant is coming out to the middle again. Thakur c Duckett b Stokes 41(88) [4s-5]
99.3
Stokes to Thakur, no run, fires in a full length delivery at the stumps, Thakur flicks it towards wide mid-on and the non-striker sets off for a single, but is quick sent back. Carse stationed there had one stump to aim at, however, he failed to score a direct-hit. Washington was well outside the crease
95.4
4
Stokes to Thakur, FOUR, smashed! Full and outside off stump, Shardul leans forward and cracks the next ball hard through cover for four. Great response after the appeal
95.3
Stokes to Thakur, no run, stunning call from Rod Tucker! Short of a length delivery kicking off and moving away, Shardul looks to defend, ball misses the glove, brushes the shoulder on the way to the keeper and England lose a review. There was a definite sound, bat/glove close to the ball, could have so easily raised the finger but Tucker was spot on. Shardul knew he didn't hit it and was confident when England took the review
94.1
4
Jofra Archer to Washington Sundar, FOUR, they have added a fourth slip as well but he's forced this edge between fourth slip and gully. Short of a length delivery swinging away, Washi defends with an angled bat, ball rolls along the ground and frustrates England
85.4
4
Woakes to Thakur, FOUR, smashed! He missed out last over to a similar ball, no he rocks back, cuts in front of square through cover-point and doesn't bother keeping it down. Used all the width on offer to perfection
85.1
4
Woakes to Thakur, FOUR, oh bit of exttra bounce, inside edge/glove onto thigh pad and it escapes for four. Short of a length delivery on the leg stump, Shardul was troubled by the bounce but he got away with it
84.5
W
Jofra Archer to Jadeja, out Caught by Brook!! Edgeddd and taken at second slip. Brook dives to the right from second slip to make this catch possible because it was dipping. Jofra hasn't been express this morning but he's been venomous at 135kph as well. Jadeja was never comfortable with the ball moving away, almost edged it to gully first ball of the over. Now edges it to Brook. Pokes at this away-swinger, gets a healthy edge and he walks off. Big dent for India as Jadeja was key. He has been batting well in England. Jadeja c Brook b Jofra Archer 20(40) [4s-3]
82.5
4
Dawson to Jadeja, FOUR, tonked over mid-on! He steps out, gets right to the pitch of the ball and hammers it with a clean swing through the line
79.2
4
Root to Thakur, FOUR, driven firmly down the ground! Overpitched by Root as he tosses it up, Thakur gets forward and nails it to the right of mid-off
78.2
Dawson to Thakur, 1 run, tossed up on off, driven to sweeper cover
75.1
4
Stokes to Thakur, FOUR, proper shot off the back foot! Back of a length just outside off, climbs sharply off the pitch but Thakur gets right on top of it as he punches it past backward point
73.5
W
Stokes to Sai Sudharsan, out Caught by Brydon Carse!! Stokes gets him again! A short ball on middle and leg, Sai Sudharsan goes for a pull and gets a top edge. The ball flies down to fine leg and the fielder charges in from the deep, keeps his cool and completes a safe catch. Sai Sudharsan swings his bat in frustration as he walks back to the pavilion. Was looking good in this innings, but it's Stokes who removes Sai Sudharsan yet again. India in a spot of bother as they have lost half their side. Sai Sudharsan c Brydon Carse b Stokes 61(151) [4s-7]
72.3
4
Root to Jadeja, FOUR, smashed over the non-striker! This was a tossed up delivery by Root and the batsman thumped it straight down the ground. Couldn't have placed it any better
71.5
4
Stokes to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, cut away! Short of a length outside off, Sai Sudharsan plays it late and carves it through backward point for four runs
69.3
4
Stokes to Jadeja, FOUR, edged away! On the shorter side outside off, Jadeja plays it awkwardly and the outside edge flies through the slip cordon and gully. He played it with soft hands, hence it went along the floor
68.2
F
Root to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, maiden Test fifty for Sai Sudharsan! Tossed up delivery outside off, Sai Sudharsan drills it through covers to notch up his half-century in style. Has done a good job so far, needs to carry on and convert this start into a big score if at all he wants to cement his place in this Indian Test side
67.4
Woakes to Pant, no run, Pant attempts a premeditated reverse sweep and is hit flush on the boot. Big appeal for LBW. Not out is the call and England have gone for the review. Meanwhile, Pant is in a lot of pain after getting hit. It was a very audacious shot, and he has just about survived thanks to an under-edge, as confirmed by technology. Might've been the slower ball from Woakes which landed right in the blockhole. Not sure if it would've missed off stump with the angle too
67
4
Dawson to Pant, FOUR, miscued in the air, and Stokes hasn't spotted it at all! He barely moves at mid-off as it goes past him. Was a matter of time before Pant took the attack to Dawson. Steps out to launch it down the ground, but slices it off the outside half. Would it have gone over Stokes even if he had spotted it? Probably. But he immediately put his hands up as he didn't know where it was
64.5
Dawson to Pant, 1 run, full ball on leg, Pant flicks it to deep midwicket and there's a cheer across the ground with the 200 coming up
60.3
6
Brydon Carse to Pant, SIX, stand and deliver! Pitched up by the bowler, right into the slot and Pant has smoked it over long-on for half-a-dozen. Manages to clear the boundary quite comfortably
58.4
4
Brydon Carse to Sai Sudharsan, leg byes, FOUR, drifting down the leg-side, Sai Sudharsan looks to flick it away, but the ball clips his pads and races away to the boundary
57.4
4
Jofra Archer to Pant, FOUR, swept away! On a length around middle and leg, Pant goes down on his knee and treats Jofra Archer like a spinner. A well executed sweep through backward square leg for four runs. Jofra Archer can do nothing but have a hearty laugh about it
55.3
4
Jofra Archer to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, fantastic shot! That was banged in short by Jofra Archer, Sai Sudharsan pulls this through mid-wicket with one foot off the ground. Plays it stylishly and finds the boundary with nonchalance
53.2
4
Jofra Archer to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, 136kph, a well-directed bouncer by Jofra Archer, however, Sai Sudharsan plays it equally well. Is quick to transfer his weight on to the back foot as he pulls this away to the fine leg boundary
52.2
Brydon Carse to Pant, 1 run, back of a length delivery outside off, Pant bunts it towards point for a single
49.5
4
Stokes to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, oh pulled away in front of square! Didn't time it that well but Sai managed to drag the ball through square leg as Stokes bowled short of length. Stokes claps at Sai, encourages him to play the shot more
49.1
W
Stokes to Gill, out Lbw!! Proper error in judgement from the Indian captain. He left a ball that was heading straight to the off stump. Stokes and his cunning angles again! He does get the ball to angle in a fair bit, the ball maybe nipped back in as well. Gill felt it wasn't close enough to the stumps. But the reality was different. The moment it brushed the kneeroll on the front pad you knew he was a sitting duck there. Stokes knew he got his counterpart. Went super loud and confident in his appeal. Rod Tucker took an extra second to process the line and height before raising the finger. Stokes lets out a lion's roar when he got the verdict in his favour. Gill sent the case upstairs and figured out it wasn't even umpire's call but smashing the off stump full. Gill lbw b Stokes 12(23) [4s-1]
47.3
Stokes to Sai Sudharsan, no run, Jamie Smith has dropped a fairly easy catch! Stokes almost had Sai strangled down the leg-side for the second time in two games. Full and down leg, nothing ball but Sai tickles it and Smith moved too much to the right. So much so that the ball hit the end of the palm. Did it wobble away late though? Anyway, lucky escape for Sai!
47
4
Dawson to Gill, FOUR, in the airrrr, just over the diving Stokes at mid-on. He almost did a Phehlukwayo grab, 2019 World Cup! Flighted delivery, Gill advances for the loft, didn't catch the middle of the bat. Stokes had to back track a bit, dived and tried to grab it one-handed beyond him but the ball escaped
44.3
4
Dawson to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, there is a bit of rough outside the LHB's outside off and Dawson is trying to target that zone, but Sai doesn't bother one bit and plays a brilliant cover drive. Took a nice forward stride and belted that ball in the gap
40.1
W
Dawson to Jaiswal, out Caught by Brook!! And he's edged the left-arm spinner to first slip. Dawson's playing a Test after 8 years, found the edge in his previous over and now he gets his man. Jaiswal was only looking to defend, but this one had some drift and probably did him in there. The batter played for turn but it went on with the arm, which meant he played inside the line. A healthy outside edge went straight to the waiting hands of Harry Brook. Dawson runs off in his celebration. Disappointed Jaiswal gestures about the drift as he climbs the stairs to the dressing room. Fighting hand comes to an end. Jaiswal c Brook b Dawson 58(107) [4s-10 6s-1]
37.2
4
Jofra Archer to Sai Sudharsan, FOUR, pitched up by the bowler around middle and leg, Sai Sudharsan times his flick through square leg and manages to find the fence, that's his first boundary
35.5
4
Woakes to Jaiswal, FOUR, pitched up by the bowler around off, Jaiswal drills this through mid-off and adds for more to the tally. Lovely timing and the fielder chasing had no chance to stop it
34.1
F
Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, 1 run, fifty for Jaiswal! He struggled in the previous match at Lord's, but he's back amongst the runs in this match.. Took his time initially and once he got his eye in, he has looked much better. Of course, he has been beaten outside off consistently, but has fought his way to a well deserved fifty. Taps this length delivery with soft hands towards point and scampers across to the other end. There was a direct-hit at the keeper's end, however, Sai Sudharsan was comfortably in. Raises his bat gently to celebrate the milestone
33.3
Woakes to Sai Sudharsan, 2 runs, that's a loose delivery by Woakes, drifting on the pads as Sai Sudharsan works it through square leg for a couple of runs to open his account
32.2
4
Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, FOUR, Jaiswal moves closer to his fifty. This was on the shorter side, Jaiswal plays it on the up, steering this away to the third man fence. Just a single away now
30
W
Woakes to Rahul, out Caught by Crawley!! Woakes strikes after the lunch break. Rahul was playing a few loose shots outside off and he pays the price for it. Short of a length delivery outside off, nips away sharply as Rahul punches away from his body as he closes the bat face early. A thick outside edge is induced and Crawley at third slip takes a safe catch. The opener was looking good, but his innings has been cut short by Chris Woakes. India off to steady start. Rahul c Crawley b Woakes 46(98) [4s-4]
28.2
4
Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, FOUR, Jaiswal playing with positive intent. Gets width to play with and he throws his hands at it. Punches this short ball through cover-point, finds the gap as the ball races away to the boundary quickly
27
4
Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, FOUR, the extra ball goes for a boundary. Short and wide outside off, Jaiswal slashes this through backward point for four runs to end the over
24.5
6
Stokes to Jaiswal, SIX, upper-cut for six! Banged in short outside off, Jaiswal jumps in the crease, slashes hard and gets enough to clear the third man boundary. He has got into trouble previously looking to go for the pull shot from outside off. This time he went with the cut and executed it nicely
23.5
4
Jofra Archer to Jaiswal, FOUR, Jaiswal is down on the floor as this flies off the edge over slips! Banged in on a short of length, he arches back looking to evade but leaves his bat hanging up. The edge is found even as he's falling on his back. Luckily for him it flies over first slip
23
4
Stokes to Jaiswal, FOUR, short and wide, Jaiswal goes hard and cuts it away firmly through backward point
17.4
4
Brydon Carse to Jaiswal, FOUR, it's not short enough outside off, Jaiswal still goes for the cut and carves it away between third slip and gully. Absolutely flew off the bat. The fielder dives across for a catch but it's wide of him
16
4
Brydon Carse to Rahul, FOUR, loose delivery and punished. Not entirely convincing from Rahul though. It was in the air for a while, but it lands short of the fielder. Short and wide outside off, he goes for the cut, hits it to the left of cover-point and it sneaks under the fielder's dive as it lands awkwardly in front of him
13.3
4
Brydon Carse to Rahul, FOUR, that ball came at 134kph and went to the fence at 200kph! Short and wide, picked the length so early, went back and smashed the cut shot through point
10.5
4
Woakes to Jaiswal, FOUR, this time he drives straighter and sends it past mid-off. Full delivery outside off stump, Jaiswal leans into the shot and gets four, thanks to better placement
6.4
4
Woakes to Rahul, FOUR, oh uppish but safe! KL plays a big drive, flew off the outer half of the bat but cleared backward point by a distance to the left. Full and swinging away, KL on the front foot to drive for four, but slices it in the end
4.1
4
Woakes to Jaiswal, FOUR, nicely pulled away! Second time an Indian batter has rocked back and pulled Woakes comfortably. Hit well in front of square and ball races away through mid-wicket
2.5
4
Woakes to Rahul, FOUR, a dismissive pull shot from KL, but came off the bottom of the bat. Quickly picked up the short length and rocked back, had no doubts about going full gear and played an aggressive pull to the right of mid-wicket to collect his first boundary
1
4
Woakes to Jaiswal, FOUR, first runs for India as this edge rolls along the grounds and bursts through the slip cordon. Good length delivery angling in, Jaiswal looks to push at it, gets lucky with the edge. Probing first over that from Woakes
