July 19, 2014  17:02
Eng 314-9 (105 ovs) vs Ind 295 | Scorecard

Shami is back, replacing Ishant as Dhoni continues to juggle his pacers on the third morning. Two singles from the first two deliveries helps England bring up their 300, in the 104th over.

Anderson smashes Shami for a boundary through the off-side to race to 19 from 16 balls with the help of three fours.

India have bowled too many loose deliveries this morning. One more wide half-volley is sent crashing to the cover fence by Plunkett to take his score to a career-best 45 in Tests. He then edges the next ball from Kumar and it goes between the two slips and gully for another boundary.

He taps the fourth ball on the off-side to complete his maiden half-century in Test cricket, from 75 balls.
