This was a triumphant, harum-scarum day of batting for England, who scored 383 runs in 88 overs. Yet at its end, they remain 80 behind. Plenty seems possible across the final two days.
England had a superb day with the bat, flicking through different phases. There was a long-awaited century for Ollie Pope, and another for Joe Root, although that is routine these days. Alex Lees made a maiden Test half-century, and Ben Stokes provided a brief period of carnage that changed the complexion of the game once more.
