<p>LONDON (AP) — England captain Ben Stokes was fit to resume his innings on Day 2 of the third test against India at Lord's.</p>
<p>He didn't last long.</p>
<p>Stokes was dismissed for 44 when his off-stump was removed by India strike bowler Jasprit Bumrah in the third over of Friday's play.</p>
<p>Stokes struggled with a right groin problem while batting on Thursday, and was affected so badly that he refused a second single off the final ball of the day that would have given Joe Root his century.</p>
<p>The allrounder was seen bowling before play on Friday and came out with Root for the start of play.</p>
<p>Root completed his century off the first ball, hitting Bumrah for a streaky four, but later played onto his own stumps off India's star pacer to leave England 271-6, less than 30 minutes into the morning session.</p>
