The day started well for India as they dismissed Ollie Pope (106 runs off 137 deliveries) inside the first hour of the day's play. However, since then every England batter chipped in with crucial contributions with Harry Brook going on to score 99 runs off 112 deliveries.
England's tail wagged with Jamie Smith (40 runs off 52 balls), Chris Woakes (38 runs off 55 balls) adding crucial stands with Brook.
