37.3 Siraj to Root, 1 leg bye

Hit on the pads coming forward, Siraj is begging for the lbw... Not given but India review. This looks close. Root misses with a flick across the line, the ball going up the slope. Umpire's call on leg stump!

Ugh

"I think anything above 175 is a tough chase," says Chan. "It's advantage England with this partnership." England - and their fans - will definitely want 200-plus, I'd have thought

India review! Siraj once again excited. He was off on a celebrappeal. He has convinced Gill to go for the review. The ball has missed the bat by a long way. But where is the impact and where is it heading? Umpire's call on hitting. Not Out

Arghhh these umpires call are never in our favour

Niraj jain: luck is also not favoring team india, lots of play and miss...

"How is this missing leg? DRS has not been good this series especially giving disadvantage to India." Hmm, not sure Chris Woakes would agree, Vinay. Wasn't missing leg, of course, but clipping. needed the on-field call from Reiffel

"The scorecard is full of byes, is the line wrong or the wicketkeeper?"It's not been the tidiest display from Jurel, Ansari. But tough conditions with the ball swinging late

Here's Tiggsy: "@Chan 250 please. It's still Lords, and India will.probably have a full day to bat, as much as the pitch is doing things now."

England 2nd Innings

41.1 Jadeja to Root, 1 run

Angled in on the pads from round the wicket, Root nurdles behind square. England raise 150 (making the lead 150)

Finally

England 2nd Innings

42.4 Sundar to Root, OUT

Snuck through him, hits leg stump! Washy strikes! Root has already played one defining innings this Test but he is stopped in his tracks just as India were beginning to fret. Throws back his head in despair, having simply missed a sweep off the stumps. How significant will that be in determining the course of this match...?

Joe Root b Washington Sundar 40 (96b 1x4 0x6) SR: 41.66

Devang Mistry: A bit of brain fade moment there for Root, threw his wicket away! Much needed wicket for India.
