Stumps, day three England have scored 319 runs today for the loss of five wickets, they lead by 186 runs and are in complete control of the Test. The highlight was Joe Root scoring his 38th Test century and passing Dravid, Kallis and Ponting to climb to No. 2 on the list of highest run-scorers in Test cricket. You can read about all the records he broke here.

Prashant : "Kamboj and Shardul combined to bowl 29 and Bumrah alone bowled 28 overs. They were supposed to lower his workload. It goes to show that you don't pick a team which looks good on paper. Proper bowlers are needed in Test cricket to pick 20 wickets."

SidB: "Tough day on the field for India, not entirely unexpected on a pitch like this especially after the sun came out. The surprising thing though is the selection - picking two seamers just for the sake of it because the test is in England. Kamboj and Shardul have bowled the least, and have hardly bowled any threatening balls. Still can't believe that 4 matches into the series and we still haven't seen Kuldeep!"

Towards the end of the day, there was some low bounce from one of the ends, will that get worse tomorrow? India will hope the forecast remains fair and the pitch stays true, they have got a LOT of batting to do. Do join us for day four tomorrow. Thank you for all your emails and have a good day!

Mohammed Siraj to Stokes, 1 run, dug in short once again and Stokes ends a great day for England with a pull down to long leg ... and in fact it's only 89 overs bowled in the day, so India haven't got all their 90 in either.

Mohammed Siraj to Stokes, 1 run, short ball from around the wicket and Stokes meets it with a charge down the pitch, pulls it to the fielder on the deep midwicket boundary

This is likely to be the final over of the day, the 90th over of the day, well done India on the over rate.

Siraj has the ball ...
