England 2nd inns 337-6 (73 ovs); Target: 374 | Scorecard

Siraj continues and a big appeal for leg before. But it appears to be far too high. Root then picks a single through deep backward point.

Smith gets off the mark with a tap to mid-on.

Siraj then strikes Root on the pads but not given as the batters cross over for a single (leg byes).

Another appeal for LBW, this time against Smith but the ball appears to be going down the leg.

Three runs come off the over.

Prasidh continues and Root defends the first delivery off the backfoot.

An appeal for LBW and India review the on-field decision of not out. It's missing the stumps and India lose another review. One run (leg bye).

Smith then edges one to gully and gets a single.

Root defends the next delivery to the on-side.

He digs out the next ball, an in-swinging yorker.

Out! Root departs, caught by Dhruv Jurel. He tries to dab one to third man but ends up edging it. Jurel dives to his right and pouches it brilliantly.

He departs after a masterly 105 off 152 balls studded with 12 hits to the fence.

Jamie Overton is the new man in. England need 37 runs.
