Play resumes at Lord's as Broad starts off the with the ball in the post-tea session.

Hardik Pandya lets the first two balls go through before he blocks the third ball watchfully.

Broad gets one to bounce steeply and also come in sharply, hitting Pandya on the gloves and he seems to be in some pain as he throws his bat away immediately and calls for the physio.

After a few minutes of treatment, Pandya continues as he watchfully defends the next ball with a straight bat.

Left-arm pacer Sam Curran to bowl from the other end. Ashwin plays a cracking cover drive but Root saves the boundary with a full length dive to keep it down to one. Pandya tucks the next ball off his hips on the leg side for another single.

Some extra bounce for Curran as Ashwin is also hit on the gloves by a delivery which spits off quite alarmingly from length, forcing physio Patrick Farhat to rush out again to attend to the off-spinner.

Pandya clips the last ball through midwicket to end the over with a four.
