His  partner Keaton Jennings (49) was joined by Joe Root.

Earlier, England had been doing well by surviving the entire morning session without losing a wicket and frustrating all efforts of the Indian bowlers. At lunch, England was 97 without loss with Cook and Jennings remaining unbeaten with 46 and 47 respectively.

While England had scored 477 in their first innings, India rattled up 759 for seven declared in reply.
