England v India: day three of the first Test - in pictures

It's a packed pavilion at Lord's and also a packed slip cordon as Jimmy Anderson bowls to Abhinav Mukhund at the start of day three Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

Though Mukhund finds a way to slice his way through the slips. Mukund and Gautam Gambhir are slowly but surely racking up the runs and by the 18th over are 63-0 Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

Stuart Broad eventually decides enough is enough and sends down a beautiful delivery which swings back in as Gambhir attempts a drive and clatters into his middle stump. India are now 63-1

Rahul Dravid is next in and it takes him a couple of overs before he manages to find a way past the England field and get some runs on the board Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

In the 24th over Broad dispatches Mukund and India are 77-2. Sachin Tendulkar emerges on to the field to a wonderful ovation. Will today be the day he gets his 100th international hundred? Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

It's not long before he's in the groove and India reach lunch on 102-2 Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

Broad strikes again, 10 overs after the interval - and this time it's the prize scalp of Tendulkar that he claims. India's No4 edges low to Graeme Swann at second slip and Tendulkar's Lord's jinx remains in place. His score of 34 is three behind his best at the home of cricket Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

It's no wonder he cuts such a despondent figure as he trudges back to the pavilion ... Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

The members' enclosure applaud Tendulkar. Better luck next time old chap Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

Just three overs later England get two chances in one Broad over. First Andrew Strauss drops VVS Laxman and then Swann fumbles an attempted diving catch off Dravid's edge Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

Dravid takes advantage of his good fortune and gets to his half century in the 49th over Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

Eventually a catch is held - Jonathan Trott is the man with safe hands when Laxman hooks Chris Tremlett out to square fine leg Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

In the next over, Swann traps Suresh Raina lbw for a duck. India are now 183-5 and wobbling slightly Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

Swann celebrates his wicket. He has reason to celebrate again later when, at second slip, he catches MS Dhoni, India's sixth wicket down Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

Tremlett then gets his second wicket in three balls when Matt Prior catches Harbhajan Singh. India are on 241-7 and still need 34 runs to avoid the follow on Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

Praveen Kumar lofts a drive for four. He doesn't last long, though, as in the 88th over he is caught by Strauss off a short-pitched Broad delivery. India are 276-8 but crucially the follow on has been averted Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

In the 90th over Dravid hits Tremlett through midwicket for two and reaches his 33rd Test century. It's his first at Lord's, so no wonder he's happy. It will exorcise the memory of 1996, when he was out for 95 here on his Test debut Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer

Century man Dravid is congratulated by Pietersen as he heads back to the pavilion on 103 not out after India's innings finished on 286. England take to the field and reach 5-0 from five overs, giving them a lead of 193. It's been a cracking day's play, defined by the performances of Dravid and Broad Photograph: Tom Jenkins for the Observer
