Stat attack!
The current unbeaten opening partnership between Haseeb Hameed and Rory Burns (120*) is England's highest, since Hameed's Test debut in 2016 where he put on 180 with Alastair Cook in Rajkot.

From the park to 60 not out in Headingley!

During the 8-day break between the second and the third Test, England opener Haseeb Hameed was seen practicing hard and the way he has bounced back after the Lord's disaster is just incredible. England will hope that that he continues with his sublime batting today as well. (Photo credit: @TheBarmyArmy Twitter)

20 minutes to go for Day 2!
Players from both the teams are in the middle, warming up ahead of the start. Overcast conditions but no rain expected throughout the day. Once again, good movement can be expected in the first session and India pacers have got to take advantage of that. We are just 20 minutes away from the start!

It's part and parcel of the game. Every day the batting unit is giving hundred per cent, but sometimes, it doesn't go well. In the morning, the wicket was slightly on the softer side and they bowled in good areas. We could have applied ourselves better. We can learn from it and only move on. That's all we can do as cricketers. You learn from your mistakes and improve. Whatever decision we take, we take as a team. So, once we have decided we are going to bat first, we are going to back our decision and move on. Yes, we could have applied much better but we can't keep on thinking too much about the toss.

As I get older, I feel like I have to work that little bit harder in the gym. I feel like I bowl less in the nets, and try to save it for when it matters in the middle. The biggest test in Test cricket is mentally getting yourself up for bowling big spells and playing in big games. It's about keeping yourself switch on through games and switch off when you are not bowling -- that's something I've always had. We have made a conscious effort of trying to just focus on us, on what we do well and try and ignore everything else, the outside noise or wherever there might be going on, and make sure there's a real focus on what we do well.
