Brook b Siraj 53 (Eng 247-9)
Siraj bowls Brook for 53 as England bowled out for 247
Well, Mohammed Siraj has given an immediate answer.
He rearranges Harry Brook's stumps and finishes with 4-86.
Harry Brook is sticking with his strategy of turning down singles until the second half of the over to limit how many balls Josh Tongue has to face.
How long will India let him carry on like this? Unless they don't want to bat tonight.
Andy Zaltzman
Test Match Special statistician
Harry Brook hit 50 in 57 balls and it is his 22nd Test fifty with nine centuries among those. It's his third 50+ score this series.
He's played just 30 Tests and 49 innings for those 22 50+ scores.

Image source, Getty ImagesIt was a skittish start from Harry Brook.
We thought this could be a big day for him. He's scored fantastic runs, he's a world-class player but we thought with that top order gone, he'd be the guy to take England to that lead and increase it.
He's played nicely.
Another three runs to England's total. Their lead is up to 22.
Harry Brook is on strike.

Che, West Bridgford
Chaos. Harry Brook tries to steal another two runs. There's a slip as they go for a second. The throw into the keeper is high and wild. They go again for a second. And pull out again. Help.
Brook brings up half-century as England look to build lead
Harry Brook runs two and brings up his half-century off 57 balls.
He didn't make a fluid start and looked like getting out on more than a few occasions but he's settled down and is doing a job for England now.

Josh Tongue looked comfortable with the balls he faced but the pitch will have something in it for him.

Harry Brook takes a single off the penultimate ball of Prasidh Krishna's over and keeps the strike.

Image source, Getty ImagesIndia have dragged themselves back into the Test match. There will be a result from this point.
Whoever performs better from here will win this.
The players are making their way back onto the field.
Here we go.
Right, we're five minutes away from the restart.
England are 242-8 after 48 overs, with Harry Brook on 48 (49) and Josh Tongue on 0 (2).
They lead India by 18 runs.

We're restarting at 17:25. I will then stop giving weather updates...
Good news! If there's no more rain, play will restart at 17:25.
It's 17:13 BST and some of the covers are being dragged off again.

While I've been recapping the action, Stephan Shemilt at The Oval has been providing updates from the ground.
Here are his thoughts condensed into one post...
