Prasidh Krishna starts off with the ball for India. The first ball is full and on the stumps as Pope nudges it to fine leg for a single.

Two slips and a fine gully for Harry Brook, who was yet to score from 12 balls faced late on the second day.

Brook defends the second ball on the off-side but he is beaten attempting to drive a full delivery which swings away.

Brook confidently behind the length ball before he cuts a short wide ball past point for a boundary to get off the mark.

The next ball is short and this time Brook plays a powerful pull shot over midwicket for a massive six into the stands.

India eye early wickets on Day 3

England 209-3 (49 ovs) vs India 471 | Scorecard

Welcome to the coverage of Day 3 of the first Test between England and India at Leeds on Sunday.

A superb unbeaten century from Ollie Pope helped drag England back into the first Test on the second day on Saturday, with the hosts closing day two on 209/3 -- 262 runs behind the touring side.

India were cruising late in the morning session on 430/3, only to be all out for 471, England taking the last seven wickets in an hour either side of lunch.

In reply, in more difficult, overcast conditions, Test cricket's top ranked bowler Jasprit Bumrah struck to remove England opener Zak Crawley for four before Ben Duckett and Pope steadied the ship to the delight of the home crowd.

Bumrah broke their 122-run second-wicket partnership when he bowled Duckett for 62, before Joe Root became the Indian dangerman's next victim moments after Pope had reached his second successive Test century.

Root was caught at slip for 28 and Harry Brook was very fortunate to survive in the final over of the day when he was caught at mid-wicket off a Bumrah no-ball, but Saturday nonetheless belonged to the home side.

Bumrah did his best to swing the Test back in India's favour. After Crawley was caught in the slips, Duckett was dropped on 15 and survived a DRS review, both off the bowling of the Indian talisman.

Another fine sweep shot took Duckett to his 14th Test half-century just before tea, before Bumrah got his reward for keeping England under pressure.

Root was given out lbw on seven, a decision that was overturned following a DRS review, while Pope was dropped by opening day centurion Yashasvi Jaiswal when on 60.

The joy from Pope's ninth Test century was short-lived as Bumrah continued to cause problems. Root edged another ferocious bolt through to the slips, before Brook's fortunate reprieve after his poor shot looped into the air.
