Rishabh Pant, who arrived when India were down to 80/4, slammed his third Test ton (maiden ton at home) to take hosts on top at the end of Day 2.
At stumps, India took a lead of 89 runs after posting 294 for 7. Washington Sundar and Axar Patel seem comfortable on the crease.
Pant hit a total of 13 fours and two sixes before he finally fell in Anderson’s third over with the second new ball when he pulled the ball hard to Root at mid-wicket.
