England won the toss and batted in Ranchi, and after being 112-5 at lunch on a lively pitch with variable bounce, there are signs that the last week's criticism has been heeded as Root makes a classy century, his slowest since Stokes took over as captain, with nothing but proper cricket shots on display. Good support from Foakes and then Robinson, 302-7 at close; obviously a lot depends on how the pitch plays from here, but it looks like England's day, and 350 could prove a competitive score.
