With a wide first slip on, the ball passes between the keeper and the wide first slip for a boundary at deep third.

66.2FOUR! That is a glorious stroke! Fuller ball, outside off, nipping away. Ben Stokes jumps out of his bunker and thrashes that hard and through the covers for a boundary.

65.1Lands safely for Ben Stokes but did that come off the glove? Speared in, on a nagging length, on off, Stokes reaches out in front for the reverse sweep. Does not quite connect and the replays show that it indeed came off the glove. Rishabh Pant was blinded by Stokes standing in front of him and was not aware of where the ball was. It lobbed and landed beside him Stokes to his right and in front of the charging KL Rahul at leg slip.

63.2Full again, on off, Stokes attempts the reverse sweep again and under edges it on the bounce to short third.

61.5Flatter and shorter, around off, Ben Stokes goes for the reverse and gets it off the bottom towards short third.

61.4Sloppy from Shardul Thakur! Full and on middle, Root drives it off the front foot to mid on where Thakur slides to his left but the ball gets past him. Shardul is late to get back up on his feet and by the time he recovers, the batters run three. Jadeja is not pleased one bit and rightly so. He lets Shardul know with an earful. That was really a schoolboy error from Shardul and unpardonable at this critical stage.

61.3A beauty from Ravindra Jadeja! Angling in and then straightening, on off, Root brings his bat out in front to defend but plays for the ball sliding on with the arm. It sneaks past the outside edge and goes just past the off pole. Pant is late to react and puts it down. Was there an edge? The on-air commentators feel that there were two sounds, but not quite certain.

61.2A massive appeal for LBW but turned down! It was a celebrappeal from Ravindra Jadeja and India have taken the review. This comes on with the arm, on a nagging length, on middle, Root lunges and looks to keep it out with a straight bat. The ball sneaks past the inside edge and catches Root on the front pad. The UltraEdge shows no bat, but guess what, the Ball Tracking shows that the ball is going over the leg stump. It did not look so to the naked eye. India have no reviews left.

61.1FOUR! Expertly played! Sliding on with the arm from around the wicket, full and on middle, Root takes the risk of playing the reverse sweep against the angle. Manages to connect well and it goes along the ground, past short third for a boundary.

60.6Goes fuller, just outside the off stump, Stokes defends it right under his eyes. A maiden from Bumrah!

60.5Attacking the stumps, on a nagging length, tapped to mid on.

60.4Hurls it on a good length, on off, Ben Stokes gets right behind it. Bumrah falls over in his follow-through but no harm done.

60.2A bit of tail back into the left-hander, on the fuller side, on off, Stokes toe-ends the drive to mid off.

60.1Bumrah is on the money straight away! On top of off, on a back of a length from around the wicket, Stokes hops back and chops it down the deck.

59.1Short and around leg, Root pads it away.

58.6FOUR! Streaky but they all count! Full and wide on off, Stokes frees his arms and goes for the drive. Gets it off the toe end and it races through the gap between the second slip and gully for a boundary.  The runs required are now under 100 for England. They need 98 more runs.

58.5Outside off, on a good length, Stokes walks across the stumps and leaves the ball alone.

58.4Pitched up from around the wicket, on off, Stokes firms the drive back to Shardul.

58.2On a back of a length, on middle, Root hops and nudges it through mid-wicket for a single.

58.1Seaming back in, on off, on a length, Root covers the off stump and makes the leave.

57.6On a fullish length, on off, Stokes gets his hands through the ball quickly and nails the reverse sweep to deep backward point. Prasidh Krishna moves to his left to cut it off but a fumble allows the batters to take the second run.

57.5Spinning back in sharply, on a nagging length, on middle, Stokes is taken aback by the turn and bounce and catches it on the waist.

57.4A bit quicker, outside off, on a length, Ben gets outside the line of the off stump while playing the reverse. Gets beaten on the inside edge and catches it on the front pad.

56.1From around the wicket, on a back of a length, over middle, Ben Stokes walks across the stumps and shoulders arms. The ball catches Stokes on the waist and rolls behind towards deep fine leg. There was no shot offered and therefore, Stokes did not run.

55.6Fired in, fuller and on off, Stokes reverse sweeps it all along the ground to deep point for one.

55.5Oh, my goodness! Another one from Jadeja landing on the rough and shoots up a bit, Ben Stokes reaches out in front and swings hard for the reverse sweep. The ball spins past him and goes over the stumps. Catches Rishabh Pant on the chest.

55.4Very full, on the leg stump line, Root reverse sweeps it to deep backward point for a single.

55.3Pushed through, short and outside off, cut away past point for a single by Stokes.

55.2Caught by Sai Sudharsan at short leg and India go up in unison but the finger stays down. Shubman Gill has a word with the keeper and the bowler. Sudharsan looks convinced and India take the review. Tossed up from over the wicket, on a nagging length, around off, Stokes reaches out in front for the reverse but the ball spins past the bat and hits Ben on the right forearm before lobbing to short leg. UltraEdge confirms that there is no bat or glove involved. India lose another review and now have only one review left.

55.1Woah! This lands on the rough and spins back in sharply, short and on off, Stokes hangs back to work it with the spin. Gets beaten by the turn as the ball bites in the surface and lobs off the body but drops in front of the batter.

54.4OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! Strangled down the leg side! Two in two for Shardul Thakur and this will uplift the Indian spirits big time. An innocuous delivery, sliding down leg, on a length, Brook walks down the track and gets inside the line for the tickle. Ends up getting a feather on it and Rishabh Pant dives to his left to pouch it. 99 in the first innings but a golden duck in the second for Brook. And now, from 253/2, England have slipped down to 253/4. Shardul is on a hat-trick.

54.3OUT! CAUGHT! Ben Duckett cannot quite believe it! The Headingley crowd rise to applaud Duckett for what has been a knock that is worth its weight in gold. Pitched up by Thakur from around the wicket, around off, Duckett is sort of lured by the full ball and his eyes light up. Goes hard on the drive and cannot keep the shot along the ground. Hits it hard and low to the left of cover where the substitute fielder, Nitish Kumar Reddy stays low to snaffle it. The Headingley rises in appreciation for a knock that will be remembered for a long time as Ben Duckett walks to the dressing room, scoring 149 (170). England are 253/3 now.

50.5FOUR! Not in complete control but the boundaries continue to flow off Duckett's bat! This bumper from around the wicket climbs onto the batter, Ben gets his hands to ride the bounce and control the pull.

Prasidh corrects his length and goes full this time. The ball moves away in the air and Crawley is lured into the drive. Does not move his feet much and goes at it with his hands. Gets an outside edge that goes straight to KL Rahul at first slip. Rahul stays side on and takes it to his right at chest height. Rahul seemed to indicate that the ball climbed on him.

Gets a top edge and the ball flies behind square on the leg side. Yashasvi Jaiswal from deep backward square leg runs in and dives forward to scoop the ball, but doesn't cling on to it and shells it. A single taken and more importantly, Duckett is offered a reprieve. It's been just that kind of a Test for Jaiswal in the field.
