Welcome to the coverage of Day 4 of the second Test between England and India at Lord's on Sunday.

A desperate India would be aiming for quick wickets and finish off England's innings to keep themselves alive in the contest.

The third day belonged to England with Chris Woakes hitting a maiden Test century and Jonny Bairstow scored 93 as England reached 357-6 to open up a significant 250-run lead over India.

The third day belonged to England with Chris Woakes hitting a maiden Test century and Jonny Bairstow scored 93 as England reached 357-6 to open up a significant 250-run lead over India.

Arriving at the crease with England 131-5, Woakes back in the side as a replacement for Ben Stokes scored freely in a partnership of 189 with Bairstow, bringing up his century with a pull for three.

Bairstow looked set to join him in getting his name on the Lords honours board, but the Yorkshireman fell for 93, caught excellently by wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik after he nicked a Hardik Pandya delivery.

Woakes, who ended the day unbeaten on 120, struck 18 boundaries at the home of cricket and was joined at the crease by effervescent youngster Sam Curran (22 not out) who again looked confident after impressing with both bat and ball in the opening test at Edgbaston.

After rain washed out the first days play and interrupted much of day two, bad light brought proceedings to a close with England in a commanding lead.
