England captain Joe Root smashed his second hundred of the series to steer his team to 314-5 at tea on day three of the second test against India on Saturday at Lord's.
Root became the second English batsman after Alastair Cook to score 9000 test runs en route to his 132 not out. His 22nd test hundred was studded with 12 fours.
It was a significant turnaround from 23-2 in reply to India's first innings total of 364 when Root walked out to bat on Friday. They batted throughout the morning session, much to the frustration of the Indian bowlers who tried all they could but just could not separate them. Mohammed Siraj had Bairstow caught in the slip after cramping him for room as the batsman tried to pull a short-pitched delivery from round the wicket.
