Root showing his class & Gutsy innings by Moeen Ali, both well set...

[Kool_SRG]

England missed out on a DRS review, if Cook had reviewed would have survived & Hameed reviewed but it was out...

[Kool_SRG]

80.5

Yadav to Root, OUT, comes forward, punched in the air, straight back to the bowler, who catches it... and then throws it over his head! Was he trying to celebrate? Root is standing his ground. This would be an extraordinary chance to have tossed away. They're going up to the third umpire and I believe the soft signal is out; Rod Tucker has a couple of looks at it and decides that, yes, Yadav had taken the catch and then tried to toss is up in the air, at which point he lost control and ended up volleying it back over his head! Umesh can smile now, though. Root's been dug up after a sparkling ton

Day 1 undoubtedly went to England...Fantastic start of tour for them.

[Kool_SRG]

99.4

Mohammed Shami to Ali, OUT, he doesn't need any of those catchers! Strange, strange choice of shot, or non-shot, from Moeen. This was angled in towards off stump, maybe a tiny bit of swing in. Shami has been attacking the stumps right through this over. Moeen misjudges the line entirely, leaves the ball alone, and it knocks back his off stump

MM Ali b Mohammed Shami 117 (213b 13x4 0x6) SR: 54.92

FOW 343/5

[Kool_SRG]

120.5

Mohammed Shami to Bairstow, OUT, gone. The partnership is broken one short of 100, Bairstow falls four short of a half-century. A bit of away reverse outside off as Bairstow tries to slap this shortish ball through point. Bottom-edges it to Saha, who gratefully clings on to this simple chance almost straight to him. Just had to move a little to his right

JM Bairstow c †Saha b Mohammed Shami 46 (57b 5x4 2x6) SR: 80.70

FOW 442/6

123.4

Jadeja to Woakes, OUT, round the wicket, tossed up and straightening - got him, nicked to the keeper! A breakthrough straightaway after the interval, the finger went up from Gaffaney and Woakes does not challenge it, after a chat with his partner. Just enough grip and turn to tickle the outside edge as he propped forward

CR Woakes c †Saha b Jadeja 4 (8b 1x4 0x6) SR: 50.00

FOW 451/7

[Kool_SRG]

129.6

Jadeja to Rashid, OUT, impatience gets the better of him and Rashid lollipops a catch to mid-on! He was trying to hit against the turn, the ball skidded on and a tame effort spooned to the right of Yadav, who clung on without mishap this time. Rashid likes to whip those wrists but not a great shot

AU Rashid c Yadav b Jadeja 5 (20b 1x4 0x6) SR: 25.00

FOW 465/8

[Kool_SRG]

Sloppy fielding costing India a lot...

[Kool_SRG]

135.2

Jadeja to Stokes, FOUR, short outside off and that's on a plate, forcefully muscled through cover point and away to the boundary - celebration time for Stokes, his fourth Test hundred and it has put the boot on the throat for England

152.5

Yadav to Stokes, OUT, back of a length, angling down leg, and Dharmasena raises his finger! Stokes looks for the leg glance, gets a little tickle on it and Saha takes the low catch diving to his right

BA Stokes c †Saha b Yadav 128 (235b 13x4 2x6) SR: 54.46
