Finally, India manages a breakthrough. Albeit a little late; but better late than never. Hardik Pandya snaps Jonny Bairstow, who falls 7 short of a deserved century.Pandya bowls a nothing delivery, but Bairstow looks to hit the ball. The ball finds an edge and, while diving Dinesh Karthik takes a smart catch behind the wicket. Sam Curran is the new man in. Will India be able to wrap up England's tail?

Chris Woakes' maiden century has added more injury to India's already sore wounds. The leade has crossed the 200-runs and there seems no respite to India's ordeal. England has crossed the 300- run mark too. None of the Indian bowlers has managed to look threatening. Barring a few flying edges, nothing else has looked promising for the visitors.

The Indian team are deflated at the moment. Woakes and Bairstow's partnership has added more woes to India's struggle. There seems to be no way back into the match.Skipper Kohli has tried every bowler in his arsenal and none of them has been able to provide the breakthrough. TEA BREAK is taken.

The Indian bowlers seem to have lost the steam. Or one can say that the England batsmen, Jonny Bairstow and Chris Woakes, have applied themselves well on the crease.Bairstow reached his HALF-CENTURY! and is looking solid at one end; whereas, Woakes has provided an equal support from the other end.The lead has now reached 106 runs, and India will need more than a miracle to make a comeback in this match.Who's it gonna be?

Hardik Pandya swings the ball in as it thuds Ollie Pope's pad. Umpire Aleem Dar raises his finger quickly. Pope and Root discuss a bit, before taking their final DRS REVIEW! eventually.The ball is pitching on the off-side, the impact is in line and is going to hit the stumps; three reds and the third umpire stays with Dar's decision. Pope is LBW OUT! and Indian team is happy with the breakthrough.Jonny Bairstow is the new man in. Will India be able to rip through England's middle order? 

The introduction of Kuldeep Yadav hasn't worked in the favour of the Indian team. Root and Pope are steadily building a healthy partnership. Perhaps, India needs some magic here.Will Ashwin be introduced from the other end? England is looking solid at the moment, and has eaten half of India's total already.
