Woakes bowling a lot more closer to the stumps than yesterday. On Day 1, they gave a lot of wide full deliveries which were hit for boundaries but today Woakes is on the off-stump line as he bowls another tidy over, conceding just a single.
Pant easily getting the singles as he clips Carse off his pads to fine leg for a single. Gill pulls the third ball for one and Pant also takes a single off the next.
Gill quick to rock back and punch Carse as he goes a bit wide but Crawley at point comes up with a diving stop to save some runs.
Still no change as Woakes continues. The ball hasn't done much so far on Day 2 as Pant clips Woakes off his pads through square leg for two runs.
The pacer oversteps to concede a no-ball before Pant picks another single off his pads.
Another no-ball from Woakes -- the second of the over -- before Gill plays a late dab fine on the off-side for a boundary as India inch towards 400.
Pant time and again using his feet. This time he gives Carse the charge to swat it behind square on the leg side for a boundary.
No fielder in the slips for England as Pant takes strike against Carse. 'That is the first time I have seen England do this at Headingley,' remarks former pacer Stuart Board on commentary.
Carse makes a good comeback as he beats Pant on the outside edge with a back of length ball angled across.
Carse tries the bouncer but Pant happy to duck under before he taps the next on the leg side.
