    Harry Brook looks up in the air after a ball he's just hit v India.Getty Images

    Sliced in the air by Harry Brook!

    He has taken a big risk again by charging Mohammed Siraj and aiming towards the pavilion. The ball lands over a fielder's head at extra cover.

    Great start from England but these two need to bat the day out, great weather tomorrow for them to race ahead and kill any chance India have left. Breaks needed on Bazball!

    Trail by 72

    Root clips ball towards deep backward sqaure leg for four to bring up 150 for England

    Joe Root throws a counterpunch back to India by flicking the final ball of Akash Deep's over to the boundary. Dhruv Jurel is standing up the stumps, trying to keep Root in his ground and play on his mind but that's a gimme for England's greatest.

    Krishna bowls v England at the OvalGetty Images

    The average speed of pace bowling today has been 85.8 mph - the fastest of any day in the series so far.

    Root 10, Brook 4

    Mohammed Siraj's feet must hurt with every step given the amount he has bowled this summer but he is running in hard yet again. It's testing stuff with Joe Root only able to get one away via an inside edge to end the over.

    Prasidh Krishna's spell is done. Shubman Gill turns back to Akash Deep.

    England need to remember India only have three seamers. Prasidh Krishna is into a long spell and he can't go on forever.

  7. Eng 147-3

    Root 9, Brook 4

    Nothing from Brook to these two deliveries, although I think he thought about chasing a wide one at the end of the over. The Yorkshireman is signalling for someone to come and take his jumper. Everyone is hot under the collar.

  8. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    I'm sorry, that's a shocking shot from Harry Brook. It's your second ball and I know Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett were expansive but they weren't from their second ball.

    Remarkable shot. He's got away with it. If that goes back on the stumps then England are in a pickle.

  9. Eng 147-3

    India have pushed a fielder back to Joe Root so his wisely knocks the ball out there for one.

    Will Harry Brook charge the bowling again?

    Presumably Krishna mentioned Sheffield United’s record in the play-offs? Poor form on Yorkshire day so no wonder Rooty was fuming!

    Joe, Rotherham

  11. Back to the Krishna v Root tussle we go...

  12. Eng 146-3

    Michael told you so!

    Harry Brook charges his second ball and gets an inside edge an inch past leg stump.

    It's all happening.

  13. Michael Vaughan
    Former England captain on BBC Test Match Special

    Get ready. I think Harry Brook might play a few shots which could be entertaining but it could be his downfall.

  14. England are still 82 behind as Harry Brook joins Joe Root...

    'Ollie looks happy!' - Pope review pays off as Jaiswal dismissed lbw for two

    How's he not given that out? It feels the same as that first wicket yesterday of Yashasvi Jaiswal.

    India are sneaking themselves back into this Test match.

    Pope lbw b Siraj 22 (Eng 142-3)

    Siraj dismisses Pope lbw for 22 after India use review

    Gone! It's three reds with the replays showing the ball would have clattered into middle and leg.

    It's a wicked delivery from Mohammed Siraj that has cut back a long way to beat Pope's inside.

    India are up for this.

    This looks out to me.

  18. Ooooo it's closer than I thought...

    Mohammed Siraj appeals during England v India.Getty Images

    With that sort of appeal from Mohammed Siraj surely they're going to review it.

  20. India review

    Mohammed Siraj pleads for lbw against Ollie Pope! His appeal goes on and on and on.

    I thought this moved too much and is missing leg.
