There was no play possible on Day 3 due to persistent rain. A day before, Devon Conway became the first cricketer to hit a double ton on Test debut at Lord's. Conway made 200 before getting run out.
In reply, England got themselves in a spot of bother, after losing Dom Sibley and Zak Crawley early in the innings. Sibley was nailed on pads by Kyle Jamieson for a seven-ball duck. Crawley made 2 before edging one to BJ Watling behind the stumps.
Rory Burns and Joe Root then arrested the collapse, sharing an unbeaten 93-run partnership for the third wicket. Burns(59) reached his first fifty in nine innings, while Root is still batting on 42.
