Joe Root came to crease with attacking intent and looked to play shots against spinners, who were looking dangerous on a pitch that has started to do its tricks.  

Lawrence's stay at the crease was shortened by Ishant Sharma's reverse swinging delivery, which got him his 300th Test Wicket. Sharma became the third Indian fast bowler to reach this milestone.

Ben Stokes edged one to the keeper to give R Ashwin his third wicket of the day. 

Root, who was looking comfortable during his 32-ball-40 runs knock, was struck in front by Jasprit Bumrah. 

Ollie Pope and Jos Buttler are current batsmen at the crease and are looking to score runs at a fast rate to give India a strong total to chase in the fourth innings.
