Updates from Monday’s play at Headingley
68th over: India 261-3 (Rahul 111, Pant 98) Nope, not yet. Pant leaves or defends the four balls he faces in that Bashir over. He’s given us all a lesson in patience and discipline.
67th over: India 258-3 (Rahul 108, Pant 98) A mischievous bowling change from Ben Stokes, who brings Joe Root into the attack with Pant one hit away from a century. What's the worst that can happen?
Nothing much in that over. Pant, forever confounding expectations, pushes a couple of low-risk singles on the off side. He’s two away.
66th over: India 254-3 (Rahul 106, Pant 96) Pant needs five for his century, which usually means only one thing. On this occasion Bashir keeps him quiet for four balls before Pant dabs a single on the leg side.
