Shami strikes straight after Tea
What a start to the session from Mohammed Shami! A wicket just before the break and now he gets Daniel Lawrence for a 4-ball duck. A loose shot from Lawrance and he hits the ball straight into the hands of Rishabh Pant while trying to work the ball down to the fine-leg fence. Shami is on fire!!! He gets his third wicket.

Tea Break, Day 1 - Second session in a nutshell!
Mohammed Shami removed Dom Sibley soon after lunch and then returned to claim the wicket of Jonny Bairstow (29) just before Tea as England got to 138 for four after the second session on Day 1 of the Nottingham Test. Resuming the session on 61/2, England lost Sibley in the third over after the break as India pacers continued to probe the England batters. But Bairstow and skipper Root were up to the task as they looked pretty watchful against the moving ball. The duo also did not waste the opportunity to score on the loose balls as they took their team past the 100-run mark in the second session after a slow start. In the process, Root also got to his 50th Test fifty. But just towards the end, skipper Virat Kohli brought back Shami as India broke the frustrating 72-run fourth wicket stand with the help of a review. Earlier, after a terrific performance in the first session, India pacers continued to impress but just could not manage to convert the good deliveries into wicket-taking ones. There were quite a few plays and misses and ball beating the outside edge but luck was in favour of Root and Bairstow. Shami, eventually helped India claim the advantage in the session with his late strike. Root went into the break on an unbeaten 52.

Shami removes Bairstow just before Tea
A wicket right at the end of the session for India! Mohammed Shami traps Jonny Bairstow in front of the stumps and India manage to get his wicket with the help of a review. Once again, Virat Kohli's gamble pays off. Bairstow falls for 29 and umpires have called for the Tea break! ENG 138/4 after 50.2 overs
20:05 (IST) Aug 04
50 for Joe Root!!!
Skipper leading his team from the front! What a knock this has been from Joe Root. The Indian pacers have been terrific so far and Root has replied to them in the perfect manner. A resilient knock from the skipper. England were under pressure after a wobbly start but Root has steadied the ship beautifully. Gets to his 50th Test fifty off 89 balls. ENG 134/3 after 49.2 overs
19:52 (IST) Aug 04
Siraj to Bairstow | FOUR! | Back-to-back boundaries for Bairstow!
This time Jonny Bairstow goes straight down the ground. A perfect on-drive from him! Presents the full face of the bat and the ball beats the fielder at mid-on. Consecutive boundaries for Bairstow off Siraj. ENG 125/3 after 46.5 overs.
19:51 (IST) Aug 04
Siraj to Bairstow | FOUR!
A cracking cover drive, this time from Jonny Bairstow. Over-pitched delivery from Mohammed Siraj and Bairstow wasted no time on that one. Beautifully times and the ball races to the cover fence.
