    Root also reached the 150-run mark eventually.

    Eventually, the visitors finished the session on 355/3.

  • The Indian bowlers created plenty of chances to produce a breakthrough in the first session.

    Off-spinners Ravichandran Ashwin and Shahbaz Nadeem have started getting help from the wicket.

    Notably, the latter flummoxed Stokes on a couple of occasions, having made the most of rough patches on the track.

    However, Stokes had a counter-attacking approach against Ashwin, who has dismissed the former seven times.
