Slow but steady, and growing in poise as this innings progresses. The fifty stand has come up from 85 balls, and Jaiswal in particular is beginning to open his shoulders, with a brace of boundaries in consecutive overs, including an exquisite inside-out launch for six over long-off off Joe Root.
England had broken each of India’s two previous stands before they could make real hay, and has the chance for this one come and gone? On 73, Tom Hartley straightens one into Jaiswal’s edge but Root at slip can’t close his fingers around a tough chance. Jaiswal immediately punishes the lapse with two more fours in consecutive drives, to rush along to 85.
