India vs England 3rd Test Day 2 Highlights: England 423/8 at stumps, lead by 345 runs

Partnership - 120* off 160 balls | England 279/2 after 89.1 overs, lead by 201 runs

Another terrific shot from Dawin Malan. Mohammed Siraj darts the ball into the pads of Malan and he works the ball comfortably to the deep mid-wicket fence. Times the ball to perfection. ENG 274/2 after 87.5 overs, lead by 196 runs.

And what a comeback this has been from the stylish left-hander. Dawid Malan was making a return to the England Test setup after 2018 and he has pulled off a terrific knock on his comeback. Gets to his 7th Test fifty off 99 balls. Malan, along with skipper Joe Root has taken the game further away from India. Both have added 98 runs for the third wicket and are looking in total control!

Joe Root is making batting look so easy. Short of a length delivery outside off from Jasprit Bumrah and Root rocks onto the backfoot and punches the ball through cover-point to pick up another boundary for himself and England. ENG 256/2 after 84.2 overs, lead by 178 runs.

Dawid Malan now looking in splendid touch. He is toying with the India pacers at the moment. A couple of glorious shots from Malan off Mohammed Shami. The first one was placed to perfection past the slip cordon and the second one was an authoritative cut off the back foot. Malan is now just one run away from his seventh Test fifty.

Another hour goes by and another perfect hour in this Test for England. The misery continues for India. Joe Root and Dawid Malan have now added 84 unbeaten runs for the third wicket as England lead continues to swell.

England skipper's purple patch continues! What a sensational series Joe Root is having. He has already scored two hundreds and a fifty in this series so far and he is looking completely unstoppable at the moment. Another classy, responsible knock from Root and England are right on top in this Test. Root gets to his 51st Test fifty off just 57 balls. His 11th against India! ENG 236/2 after 81.2 overs, lead by 158 runs

Exquisite from Dawid Malan! A boundary to end the first over from Jasprit Bumrah with the second new ball. A cracking drive through covers as Malan moves into the 40s.

Dawid Malan (36*) and Joe Root (45*) have now added unbeaten 67 runs for the third wicket. India desperately in search of a breakthrough here and skipper Virat Kohli has brought his premier pacer back into the attack. England 226/2 after 80 overs, lead by 148 runs

What a shot that was from Joe Root. Sweeps Ravindra Jadeja from outside the line of the off-stump to the wide mid-on fence. Root looking in total control at the moment. ENG 221/2 after 78.4 overs, lead by 143 runs.

A half-tracker from Ravindra Jadeja outside off and Dawid Malan pounces onto that one. Smacks it past point to add four more runs to his and England's total. ENG 214/2 after 76.5 overs, lead by 136 runs.

Joe Root and Dawid Malan have looked pretty good post lunch. Both have rotated the strike pretty well and have put away bad balls with authority. 50-run partnership comes up between them with Root doing the bulk of the scoring in it. The second new ball will be available to India after 5 more overs. ENG 209/2, lead by 131 runs

Dawid Malan 28* | Joe Root 33* | England 202/2 after 73.1 overs, lead by 124 runs

Joe Root collects back-to-back boundaries off Ravindra Jadeja. The first one was a full-toss comfortably put away by Root to the deep square-leg fence. On the second occasion, Jadeja drops the ball in short and Root punches it to the deep mid-wicket fence. Easy runs for Root as England get going post lunch break.

A tidy start from Ravindra Jadeja straight after Lunch. A maiden! Ishant Sharma to share the ball with Jadeja from the other end. Three slips in place for him. ENG 182/2 after 69 overs.

Dawid Malan (27*) and Joe Root (14*) are in the middle to resume England innings post Lunch. Ravindra Jadeja has the ball in hand for India. A slip, a leg slip and a forward short-leg in place for him. Malan on strike. The second new ball will be available to India after 12 overs. Here we go!

India struck twice but it was not enough to put England under pressure as the hosts extended their lead to 104 runs at lunch on day two of the third Test. England managed to score 62 runs in the session, taking their first innings to score 182 for two having started the day at 120 for no loss. This was after India were bowled out for 78. Mohammad Shami looked the most threatening among the four Indian fast bowlers, who did not get enough seam or swing movement for the second day running. Shami, coming round the wicket, removed Rory Burns (61 off 153) in the first hour of play with a ball that nipped back in sharply to hit the top of off-stump. India got a much needed second wicket against the run of play when Ravindra Jadeja struck in his first over of the day with a beauty. The left-arm spinner got one to straighten slightly from middle and off-stump to beat a well-set Haseeb Hameed (68 off 195) and kiss the bails for his first wicket of the series. Dawid Malan, playing his first Test in three years, looked in good touch and was on 27 off 49 at the break alongside in-form skipper Joe Root (14 off 14). Despite the twin strikes, it is amply clear that India will need to create something special to come back in the match.
