Joe Root top-scored with a cautious 99 not out to help England to a steady 251-4, whilst captain Ben Stokes suffered an injury scare on day one of the third Test at Lord’s.
After winning the toss and electing to bat – only the second time Stokes has made that decision in England – Zak Crawley (18) and Ben Duckett (23) were both dismissed in the 16th over by Nitish Kumar Reddy (2-46).
Root (99 not out off 191) and Ollie Pope (44 off 104) helped to steady things for England, with the former becoming the first player to score 3,000 Test runs against India alone, as well as bringing up his 67th Test half-century.
India continued to toil, though, taking two more wickets, with Ravindra Jadeja (1-26) removing Pope and Jasprit Bumrah
(1-32) dismissing Harry Brook (11), on a wicket that was providing more turn and bounce than the flat pitches at Headingley and Edgbaston.
During the 81st over, play was briefly and bizarrely interrupted by a loveliness of ladybirds as England made it to stumps four down, with Root and captain Ben Stokes (39no) at the crease as the hosts look to regain a lead in the five-match series after India levelled at Edgbaston.

MLB Wild Card live updates: Scores and latest from today’s games, starting with Tigers vs. Guardians
Tigers-Guardians Game 2 takeaways: Guardians bats come alive at right time to tie series CLEVELAND — Brayan Rocchio hit five home runs this season. His sixth of the year blew the lid off Progressive Field on Wednesday, as the Cleveland Guardians infielder’s eighth-inning homer put Cleveland ahead in a 6-1 win in Game 2 of the Wild Card Series. The Rocchio rocket on a 99.9 mph fastball from Tigers reliever Troy Melton forced a decisive Game 3, absolving the Guardians of their quiet offensive start to this series and punishing the Tigers’ inability to finish the job. Detroit went 1 for 15 with runners in scoring position in Game 2, leaving them at 2 for 23 in the series. The Guardians didn’t put a runner in scoring position until the rally that followed Rocchio’s deciding homer. Happy Rocctober to you and […]
