England pile on the runs at lunch

England have moved onto 358-3 at lunch on day two of the third Test against India at the Ageas Bowl.

Starting the day on 247-2, Gary Ballance and Ian Bell piled on the runs to put the hosts in a commanding position.

Ballance, who reached his century on Sunday, was in fine form yet again during Monday's opening session as a further 52 runs put him on 156 before he was dismissed by Rohit Sharma.

Meanwhile, Bell was able to pass the half-century mark on his way to making 68 not out at the interval. He will be joined at the crease by Joe Root (two not out) when play resumes.
