Josh Tongue to Pant, out Lbw!! Brainfade to end a fantastic innings. Josh Tongue got it to curve back in late and quite sharply. He was troubling Pant with inswing from round the wicket since last over. Pant thought this wouldn't come straight at him and offered no shot. But it wasn't as wide or as short for the ball to escape the stumps or his body. Swung back in nicely from good length, hit him just around the kneeroll and that would have smashed middle and leg. DRS says the same and Pant takes the review with him. But he walks off to a great ovation after another sensational innings. Pant lbw b Josh Tongue 134(178) [4s-12 6s-6]

Bashir to Pant, SIX, a one-handed six to get his 7th Test hundred. Rishabh Pant woke up against RCB late in the IPL and he's carried on here as well. Back-to-back Test hundreds in England. This is his format. Generally takes the pitch and opposition out of the equation with his fearless batting. He has been India's crisis man for a while now and he's made use of great batting conditions here. And he takes the helmet off, raises the bat to acknowledge the applause, drops the bat and does his somersault celebration. That is his signature celebration now.
