Roston Chase to Rory Burns, out Lbw!! 

England review it at the last second. A very simple-looking delivery, on a length, going straight on and with Burns complicating things by playing for the turn.

He ends up completely down the wrong line and then complicates things by reviewing something simple.

Lunch is over and players enter but Zak Crawley goes back as he is dismissed for a duck.

What a start for Roston Chase! He's just turned one in to take the inside edge onto pad, that lobs up nicely to Holder at leg-slip!

Edged and gone! 

Alzarri Joseph gets the big fish. A loose stroke from the England captain as a full-and-wide ball outside off which swung away a tad.

It could have easily been ignored, but, Root played it well away from his body and got a healthy outside edge. A simple catch for Holder at second slip.

With a run, Sibley reaches his fifty. Back to back fifties for him. 

His skipper is delighted as he applauds by banging the dressing room glass window. 

Fuller length delivery and a hint of seam away from the left-hander, Stokes was lured into the drive, went with hard hands and squirted it backward of square on the off-side.

He brings up his half-century, the 100-run partnership as well
