However, Ishant Sharma and Mohammad Siraj helped Virat Kohli-led side to fought their way back into the game.

ENG vs IND Live: Joe Root stranded at 180 

Joe Root has looked a class apart in the ongoing second Test match against India at Lord’s cricket ground. The right-handed batsman put up a batting exhibition and scored runs all over the park. The 30-year-old paced his knock to perfection and notched up his 22nd Test ton and etched his name on Lord’s honours board.

If that was not enough, the 30-year-old crossed the 150-run mark and helped his team take a lead. However, it was an disappointing end to his masterful knock as he felt short of partners at the other end and ended his innings on 180 not-out. During his innings, Joe Root also crossed 9000 run-mark in Test cricket and became the only second English player after Alastair Cook to achieve this feat.
