London: English skipper Joe Root scored another ton as he amassed 121 runs to put England in strong position on day two of third Test against India.
Dawid Malan and Joe Root then put on 139 for the third wicket.
Malan, playing his first Test for two years, made 70, before getting a thin edge down the leg side.
As usual, he was particularly strong through the off side.
It was slow going with India’s bowling, particularly that of Jasprit Bumrah’s, being much better.
Mohammed Shami got Rory Burns in the first hour, before Ravindra Jadeja got Haseeb Hameed.
India’s decision to bat first after winning the toss backfired as they were all out for just 78 registering their ninth-lowest score in tests. The England bowlers learned from the mistakes and produced a stunning performance.
