Commentary
It was England’s session to take, and they did so with intent. They managed to break the backbone of India's resistance just before Lunch, dismissing centurion Shubman Gill on the stroke of the interval. Earlier, they also got rid of KL Rahul, who looked rock-solid and seemed headed for a century before falling to a familiar Stokes trap like he did at Lord's. With both set overnight batters back in the hut, England will head into the dressing room satisfied and in control.

Jofra Archer to Ravindra Jadeja, EDGED, DROPPED! Joe Root, of all the people! My word, whether England rue a quality bowler in the absence of Stokes or not is one matter, but fielding is something which has been a let down for them in this match. 4th dropped catch in the match. Could have been so easily two in two. What a let off for Jadeja. Archer comes charging in, from around the wicket and bangs it on a length, outside off. Jadeja plays for the incoming angle and gets a healthy outside edge to first slip, because of extra bounce. Joe Root is a touch surprised with the speed of that ball and hence, is late to react. The ball goes up in the air, after hitting his hands, to his left. He tries again, to leap and try with his left hand, but misses. Then, he tries again for the third time, but the ball drops down! Massive reprieve.
Ravindra Jadeja walks in next, at number 6, replacing his skipper, Shubman Gill.

Jofra Archer to Shubman Gill, OUT! CAUGHT BEHIND! And the curse for India before a break continues! This is not the first time that the visitors have lost a wicket with just a few minutes before an interval and more particularly, before Lunch. To memory, it seems like this is the 5th time in this series that India have lost a wicket at the stroke of Lunch. Kudos to Archer for persisting with that short length. He was not on the mark against Sundar but got it right on that occasion. This is what extra pace can do. Jofra bangs it on a length, outside off, probably could have been left alone as an afterthought, but Gill chooses to poke at it. Gets a healthy outside edge to the keeper, Jamie Smith, who makes no mistake. Archer is pumped up and Gill departs for a fabulous 103, to a massive ovation from the crowd. The 34-run stand has been broken and India are 222/4, trailing by 89!
