at the close

The opener was bowled by Mohammed Siraj for 14 as the hosts reached 50-1 at the close, needing a further 324 runs to win, with Ben Duckett unbeaten on 34 to conclude another gripping day.

His century was his 38th in Tests and it ground down a poor and beleaguered India as England reached 544-7 at the close, leading by 186.

That left India 264-4 at the close, with the tourists waiting on the results of a scan on Pant's injury.

Jofra Archer and Joe Root both had days to remember on day two of the third Test between England and India, with the tourists closing on 145-3 at the close, trailing England by 242 runs at Lord's.

"I managed to face 100-odd balls, but made a pretty annoying error after tea. It's annoying not to be 90-odd not out with Joe at the close, but I can take positives."
