Alastair Cook and Nick Compton help England reach 121-0 heading into tea on day two of the third Test in India.

England have taken full control on day two of the third Test in India after dominating the latest session.

The tourists go into tea with a score of 121-0 and have gained the upper hand after a slow start with the bat.

Captain Alastair Cook is closing in on a century with an unbeaten 80 after hitting a range of shots, including 11 fours and a six off 142 balls.

His partner Nick Compton grew into the session, and currently sits on 40, his highest Test score for England.

Compton has racked up four fours and one six off 110 deliveries.

The hosts were bowled out for 316 earlier this morning thanks to a combination of pace and spin from the tourists' bowler.
