Bumrah hasn't been effective in the match so far, having picked just one wicket in 28 overs. England batters have made merry on a flat Manchester surface, as, except for Jamie Smith and Harry Brook, all the other batters have scored plenty of runs. Joe Root scored his 38th Test hundred and is currently just behind Sachin Tendulkar in the top run-getter list in Test cricket. Ben Stokes remained not out on 77 and the England captain will try to seize the opportunities on day 4 at Old Trafford, Manchester.
