In stumps, England reached 251/4, route not at 99 with unbeaten and 39 with Captain Ben Stokes. The day’s play saw a more traditional approach to testing cricket rather than England’s general aggressive ‘Bazball’ style with a run -rate of 3.02.The final session began at 153/2 with England, with root and Oli Pope at the crease. Ravindra Jadeja broke his 109 -run partnership by rejecting the Pope for 44 runs off 104 balls.Harry Brook, the current number one test batsman, started optimally, but Jasprit Bumrah bowled for 11 runs off 20 balls, leaving England at 172/4.

England reached their 200 runs points in the 64th over, which was single with Mohammad Sirj’s bowling. Root and Stokes then formed an unbreakable partnership, which adopted a more conservative approach to end the day’s game.The pair added 50 runs in 100 balls and maintained their wickets until the stumps, until the root finishing tantalizingi dropped out about 99 not out of their century.Earlier in the day, Nitish Kumar Reddy claimed two wickets in the first season, while Jadeja and Bumrah took one wicket in the following sessions.The day’s play reflected a departure from England’s recent aggressive perspective under the Stokes-Maculam rule, as he focused on making his innings continuously instead of scoring quick runs.
