Root continues as Jadeja blocks the first ball before he slashes the next square for two runs and cuts the fifth ball past point for a four.

With 15 minutes left for stumps, England will be hoping to end their day on a high by picking up a wicket and end this partnership.

Good quick short ball from Stokes as Pant is hit on the gloves trying to pull it as the physio comes out to treat him.

Another short ball which Pant pulls for a single and Jadeja takes one next ball.

Stokes oversteps again bowling the bouncer which Pant pulls for a single to fine leg.

Jadeja caught in two minds as he initially looks to duck under the short ball from Stokes before he ends up fending it on the off-side and leaves the next ball, which is again short.

Root continues his attack on spin as he lofts Root back over his head for a six. He attempts another big hit but this time Root slows it down and floats it a bit wide as Pant gets the edge and is caught by Crawley at slip.

Pant walks back to a standing ovation after a sensational knock of 146 from 111 balls, having hit 20 fours and four sixes.

His counter-attacking knock got India back in the contest as he put on 222 from 239 balls with Jadeja (68 not out) for the sixth wicket.

Shardul Thakur gets off the mark with a single to deep extra cover from the last ball of the over.
