England were in a commanding position at lunch, reaching 332 for two, just 26 runs behind India’s first-innings score of 358. Root, unbeaten on 63, and Pope, on a well-compiled 70, had added 135 runs for the third wicket without offering the bowlers a clear opportunity.

The incident, which unfolded during the 54th over of England’s innings, added to India's frustration as the visitors failed to break the resolve of Root and Ollie Pope in the morning session.
