Root century gives England edge over India: second Test, day three – as it happened

England earned a 27-run lead over India thanks partly to Joe Root’s 180 not out as the third day ended with Jimmy Anderson being bowled

46th over: England 120-3 (Root 49; Bairstow 6) Root lets the first ball from Shami pass harmlessly by his off stump. Shami bustles in, ploughman style, as the sun kisses the front rows of the pavilion. Bairstow prods forwards and Root needs just a single for his half-century.

There are still a few gaps in the stands as the players touch their toes one last time before Farokh Engineer rings the five minute bell.
