England 2nd inns 106-3 (28 ovs); Target: 374 | Scorecard

Prasidh continues and Pope digs out the 140kph yorker outside off.

Four! Full and straight and Pope opens the face of the bat and guides it through mid-on for a boundary.

A dot later, Pope picks up a couple through square of the wicket with a sweetly timed push off a short of a length delivery outside off.

Two consecutive boundaries follow. First past the infield then a pull over the mid-wicket. 100 up for England.

Siraj continues and Root drives one on the rise and gets a boundary. First boundary for him.

Follows it up with a punch off the backfoot through deep backward point for a single.

Out! Pope is gone, out LBW! Siraj strikes with a perfect inswinger. Pope reviews the on-field decision but it's three dots.

The skipper goes after making 27 off 34 balls studded with five boundaries.

Harry Brook comes to the crease. He sees off the remaining three deliveries of the over. Five runs come off it.
