Shami to resume proceedings after the tea break. He starts with a short ball which Broad pulls through midwicket to begin the session with a boundary. Three balls later he flicks it square on the leg for the same result as nine runs come from the first over of the session.

In Shami's next over, Broad punches it down the ground past mid-on for another four as England look to adopt a positive approach and bail themselves out of trouble.

Root finally finds the middle of the bat against Ishant as he flicks a full delivery through midwicket for a boundary. But he gets an inside edge off the next delivery trying to drive it through the covers and it goes for a four behind the wicket leaving the bowler shocked.

Broad is taking a liking to Shami as he drives him through the point region for a four to take England to 235 for seven in 78 overs, needing 23 more runs to avoid the follow-on.
