    Glorious from Joe Root.

    He opens the face, and leans on a drive, and the ball races to the cover boundary.

    He's up to 31.

    Joe Root and Rory Burns have weathered the storm after the loss of two wickets. They have done it in their own way. Burns got a hundred here against New Zealand early in the summer. Root has carried on where he left off at Trent Bridge.

  3. Eng 84-2published at 34.2 overs

    Jasprit Bumrah has overstepped again.

    He is one the best bowlers in the world but he bowls far too many no balls.

    Pack it in man.

    Virat Kohli wants Rory Burns driving through the covers, but it could cost him some runs...

    India 364

    Ravindra Jadeja starts with a maiden.

    Rory Burns to sweep, and gets in a bit of tangle, but he is well outside of the line.

    Time for a bit of spin.

    The left-arm spin of Ravindra Jadeja is on.

    Here's Joe Root finding the boundary twice.

    I'm not saying anything else. I refuse to put the mockers on him.

  8. Eng 83-2published at 33 overs

    England have found run scoring a lot easier in the last half an hour or so. Both Rory Burns and Joe Root are reaping the rewards of digging in.

    It helps when Jasprit Bumrah loves a no ball to be fair. There's another one.

    Other things that used to be comforting in their certainty: KP taking a single from his first ball, Jimmy Anderson not being out for a duck.

    Just that sumptuous boundary off the over.

    There is just under an hour left on day two at Lord's. Oh how England would love these two to make it to close.

    That is as good a cover drive as you will ever see from Rory Burns. He had his head over the ball, and a good transfer of weight. Beautiful.

  12. Eng 78-2published at 31.2 overs

    Ishant Sharma goes full and wide, and Rory Burns drives through the gap that Virat Kohli has left and away to the boundary.

    He played that with aplomb.

    Here's Rory Burns attacking Mohammed Siraj...

  14. Eng 74-2published at 31 overs

    India 364

    Jasprit Bumrah is just starting to find his groove now. He's over and around the wicket to Rory Burns, mixing it up, looking to keep the England opener honest. It almost brings him a reward as Burns jams down on the ball and it bounces above the stumps.

    Burns is then beaten.

    This India attack is relentless.

    Things have just opened up for Joe Root and Rory Burns. They have reached a partnership of 50 in 14.5 overs. 19 runs in the first 11.5 overs and then 31 in three overs.

  16. Eng 73-2published at 30 overs

    This pitch is still pretty slow. We've seen a couple of edges drop short of Rishabh Pant and the India slip cordon already, and another ball goes through to Pant on the bounce after Joe Root is beaten by Ishant Sharma.

    Beautiful, classic Joe Root. It's not that wide from Ishant Sharma at all, but Root just hangs back and guides it through point and away to the boundary.

    There's no chance of stopping down the slope, and that is the 50 partnership, off 91 balls, too.

    Virat Kohli moves his fielder to the boundary in frustration.

    In case you're just going us for the first time today, here is a brief look at what has happened.

    James Anderson took his 31st five-wicket haul in Test cricket as England bowled India out for 364.

    England made it to tea without losing a wicket, but Mohammed Siraj dismissed Dom Sibley and Haseeb Hameed in successive balls in the first over after the interval.

  20. drinks break

    Drinks - Eng 67-2published at 29 overs

    Trail by 297

    Jasprit Bumrah oversteps again. I'm glad we don't have to listen to that horrible alarm like we did over the winter. Bumrah does it far too often to make that bearable.

    That will be drinks too. Another absorbing hour and 15 minutes of Test cricket, which India have won with the two wickets.

    Play will continue till 18:30 BST. We're going to lose some overs today, with 23 still left in the day.
